Arteries of Descending Aorta and Lower Extremities Flashcards
begins at level of second left costal cartilage
descending aorta
descends through abdominal cavity through abdominal aorta
thoracic aorta
injection for infant cases
descending aorta
drainage for infant cases
inferior vena cava
incision for infant cases
midline of umbilicus
on surface of thigh from center of inguinal ligament to center of medial condyle of femur
femoral linear guide
through center of femoral triangle bounded laterally by sartorious and medially by adductor longus muscle
femoral anatomical guide
begins at point posterior to center of inguinal ligament and terminates at opening of adductor magnus muscle
femoral anatomical limits
along any portion of superior 2/3rds of linear guide most superficial point of blood vessels
femoral place of incision
large in size; lower portion of body can be embalmed without concern of distention of face
femoral considerations
vessels are seated deep in obese cases; drainage may be difficult to establish and maintain
femoral precautions
medial and deep to femoral artery; just inferior of inguinal ligament- lies medial
femoral vein
through center of popliteal space parallel to long axis of lower extremeties
popliteal linear guide
begins at opening of adductor magnus muscle and terminates at inferior border of popliteal muscle
popliteal anatomical limits
parallel incision on posteromedial aspect of thigh just superior to popliteal space
popliteal place of incision
from lateral border of patella to the anterior surface of ankle joint
anterior tibial linear guide
along lateral margin of inferior 1/3rd of crest of tibia
anterior tibial place of incision
from center of popliteal space to a point midway between medial malleolus and calcaneious
posterior tibial linear guide
midway between medial malleolus and calcaneal tendon
posterior tibial place of incision
from center of anterior surface of ankle joint to a point between first and second digits
dorsalis pedis linear guide
along superior 1/3rd of linear guide
dorsalis pedis place of incision
