Anatomy Lecture 2 Flashcards
Three terminal branches of the Ophthalmic artery
- nasal
- frontal
- supraorbital
Major branches of the ECA
Superficial Temporal and Facial
Right brachiocephalic branches into…
Left SCL branches from …
right SCL and CCA,
aortic arch
“palm of hand” or “sole of foot”
volar
Supplies stomach, liver, pancreas, duodenum, spleen.
Branches into Lt. gastric, splenic, and common hepatic artery.
Celiac Artery
left common iliac is compressed. Clots can form.
May-Thurner Syndrome
“artery of the thigh”
hypogastric
- 3.5 cm distal to inguinal ligament
- have numerous perforators
- posterior and lateral to the SFA
Profunda Femoris/Deep Femoral Artery
- medial route
- length of thigh
- anteromedial
- enters Hunter’s canal
- larger quadriceps muscle
- posterior medial path, back of knee
Superfical Femoral Artery (SFA)
minor branch, feeds the gastronemius muscle
sural
superfical above the knee, great for collaterals
genicular arteries
- 1st branch off popliteal artery ends at the Dorsalis Pedis Artery (DPA)
- laterally and anterior along front of tibia
Anterior Tibial Artery
means top
dorsum
- reaches the posterior/medial side of ankle
- medial malleolus and calcaneal
- divides into medial and lateral plantar arteries (posterior approach)
Posterior Tibial Artery (PTA)
veins usually run in _____ below the knee, by they are sometimes run in _____ as well.
pairs, threes
connect deep and superfical systems
have one way valves!
communicating or perforator veins
superfical
- runs posterior to the lateral malleolus
- courses along the midline of the calf of the lower leg
- posterior aspect of the calf, joins the pop.
Small Saphenous
superfical
- longest vein
- medial aspect of the leg
- often duplicated
- contains many perforators
- often duplicated
Great saphenous
