Ateries and veins Flashcards
- Located only on the right side
- Travels from arch of aorta to manubrium of sternum
- Deep to the ribcage
Brachiocephalic Trunk
Right side: _________ comes off the brachiocephalic trunk
Subclavian Artery
Left Side: __________ comes off of arch of aorta
Subclavian Artery
Goes from interior thorax to exterior thorax by
travelling through anterior and middle scalenes
Subclavian Artery
Travels between clavicle and R1 with brachial
plexus
Subclavian Artery
Subclavian Artery Becomes
- Becomes Axillary artery
Travels across ________, towards __________.
deltopectoral triangle; towards axilla
Supplies: pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior,
SITS, teres major
Axillary artery
- Continuation of axillary artery
Brachial Artery
Brachial Artery Travels distally down __________, between _______ and _________
medial humerus; between
biceps and triceps
Brachial Artery Travels anterior to ____________.
medial epicondyle of
humerus
Enters cubital fossa as lateral neurovascular
structure
Brachial Artery.
Brachial Artery Immediately distal to cubital fossa, splits into:
radial and
ulnar arteries
Brachial Artery Supplies:
Supplies: deltoid, triceps, biceps, brachialis, coracobrachialis,
anconeus
Radial Artery * Travels down:
anterior radial shaft
Radial Artery Enters hand at:
thenar eminance
Radial Artery supplies:
Supplies: radial ½ of forearm (anterior and posterior)
Ulnar Artery Travels down the:
anterior ulnar shaft
Ulnar artery Enters hand at:
hypothenar eminance
Ulnar artery supplies
Supplies: ulnar ½ of the forearm (anterior and posterior)
Radial Vein
* Starts at :
thenar eminence
Radial Vein drains:
- Drains: muscles of thenar eminence,
radial ½ of forearm posterior and
anterior
(into the brachial vein distal to the cubital fossa)
Ulnar Vein Drains
Drains: muscles of the hypothenar
eminence, ulnar ½ of forearm
anterior and posterior
(Drains into the brachial vein distal to
cubital fossa)
- vein that Crosses GH joint becomes axillary vein
Brachial Vein
Brachial Vein drains
- Drains: brachialis, biceps, triceps,
coracobrachialis, anconeus, deltoid
- vein that Travels proximally through deltopectoral
triangle
Axillary Vein
Drains: pec major, pec minor, serratus, SITS,
teres major
Axillary Vein
Subclavian Vein travels
- Travels between anterior and middle
scalene
Superficial Veins
- Cephalic vein
- Basilic vein
- Median cubital vein
- Longest vein of upper extremity
Cephalic vein
Cephalic vein travels
Travels up lateral arm past GH joint
Cephalic vein drains:
(Drains into axillary vein)
* Drains: lateral subcutaneous tissue of forearm, arm
- Drains: medial subcutaneous tissue of forearm
- Drains into brachial vein at mid-humerus
Basilic Vein
- Branches to combine to form a superficial vein within the
cubital fossa - Drains: subcutaneous tissue of cubital fossa
(this is the one they take blood from)
Median Cubital Vein
