Q

what are the 3 pulse points in the upper limb

A

brachial
radial
ulnar

27
Q

which set of veins is there variation in between people

A

superficial

28
Q

which superficial upper arm vein do some people not have

A

median cubital vein

29
Q

what do some people have instead of a basilic vein and a cephalic vein

where does it run

A

median vein

up the middle of the forearm

30
Q

what are the 4 superficial veins of the upper arm

A

dorsal venous arch
cephalic vein
basilic vein
median cubital vein

31
Q

where is the median cubital vein

A

cubital fossa

32
Q

where does the basilic vein drain

A

brachial vein

33
Q

where does the cephalic vein drain

A

axillary vein

34
Q

where does the deep venous arch of the hand drain

A

radial vein

35
Q

where does the superficial venous arch of the hand drain

A

ulnar vein

36
Q

where does the dorsal venous arch drain blood from

A

dorsal surface of hand

37
Q

what does the brachial vein drain into

A

axillary vein

38
Q

what does the axillary vein drain into

A

subclavian vein

39
Q

where does the medial dorsal venous arch of the foot drain into

A

great saphenous

40
Q

what drains into the small saphenous

A

lateral dorsal venous arch of the foot

41
Q

where does the great saphenous vein drain

A

femoral vein

42
Q

where does the small saphenous vein drain

A

popliteal

think bc its the ‘small’ saphenous that its smaller that the great saphenous so drains earlier

43
Q

what are the superficial veins of the lower limb (4)

A

great saphenous
small saphenous
medial dorsal venous arch of the foot
lateral dorsal venous arch of the foot

44
Q

where does the plantar venous arch of the foot drain into

A

anterior and posterior tibial veins

45
Q

what also drains into the posterior tibial vein

A

fibular vein

46
Q

what do the anterior and posterior tibial veins drain into

A

popliteal vein

47
Q

what does the popliteal vein drain into

A

femoral vein

48
Q

what 3 things drain into the popliteal vein

A

anterior tibial vein
posterior tibial vein
small saphenous

49
Q

apart from the popliteal vein, what else drains into the femoral vein (2)

A

deep femoral vein

great saphenous

50
Q

where does the femoral vein drain into

A

external iliac vein

51
Q

where does the external iliac vein drain into

A

common iliac vein

52
Q

where does the common iliac vein drain into

A

inferior vena cava

53
Q

where are perforating veins

A

between superficial and deep veins

54
Q

what condition is the perforating veins associated with

A

varicose veins

55
Q

where do all upper limb lymph end up

A

subclavicular lymph nodes

56
Q

what do the lymphatics of the upper limb follow

A

veins

57
Q

lymphatics that follow the cephalic vein end up…

A

apical axillary/pectoral lymph nodes (then subclavian)

58
Q

lymphatics that follow the basilic vein end up…

A

cubital lymph nodes (then lateral axillary/pectoral then subclavian)

59
Q

lymphatics that follow deep veins in the upper limb end up…

A

lateral axillary lymph nodes (then subclavian)

60
Q

what do the lymphatics of the lower limb follow

A

veins

61
Q

lymphatics that follow the great saphenous vein end up…

A

superficial inguinal lymph nodes (then deep inguinal then external iliac lymph nodes)

62
Q

lymphatics that follow the small saphenous vein end up…

A

popliteal lymph nodes (then deep inguinal then external iliac lymph nodes)

63
Q

lymphatics that follow deep veins in the lower limb end up…

A

popliteal lymph nodes (then deep iliac then external iliac lymph nodes)
