Arteries And Veins

Question 1

Axillary artery

Where does it start and what does it become?

Answer 1

It continues/begins of the subclavian artery at the lateral border of 1st rib

Ends at inferior border of teres major and becomes the brachial artery.

Question 2

Brachial artery

Where does it start/continue and where does it end

Answer 2

It starts/continues from the axiallary at the border of teres major.

Runs medial to the humerus

Branches into the deep artery of the arm

Finishes at the cubital fossa and bifurcating into radial and ulnar arteries.

Question 3

Deep artery of the arm

Where does it start/continue and where does it finish

Answer 3

Runs through lateral triangle of the arm, posteriorly through the radial groove of the humerus with the radial nerve.

Question 4

Radial artery

Where does it continue and where does it end

Answer 4

It continues from the cubital fossa from the brachial artery. Its decends deep into brachioradialis, runs on the anterior surface of the radius, lateral tendon of the flexor carpi radialis.

Passes through the snuff box, pierces muscles between the 1st and 2nd metacarpals

Anastomoses with ulnar artery

Question 5

Ulnar artery

Origin and destination

Answer 5

Cubital fossa the medial aspect. Formed from brachial artery.

Enters forearm deep into pronator teres, found lateral to flexor carpi ulnaris.

Enters palm superficial to carpal tunnel, pass through ulnar canal.

Anastomoses with radial artery

Question 6

Arteries of the hand

Answer 6

Formes by the radial and ulnar arteries.

Palmar arches:
Deep and superficial

Doral carpal arch
Posterior to carpals

Then form tge digital arteries
