Blood Supply Of Limbs Flashcards
Branches of arch of aorta
Brachioencepahlic trunk > right carotid and right sublavain (going to arm)
Left common carotidleft subclavian
What 3 arteries arise from subclavian to upper limbs
Internal thoracic
Thyrocervical trunk
Suprascpaular
Subclavian artery down arm
Subclavian become axillar afnouter border of 1st rib
Axillary becomes brachial at distal border to teres major muscle
Axillary artery divided into 3 parts by pectoralis major muscle - proximal posterior of distal
Proximal to pectoralis minor
Superior thoracic (anterior wall thorax)
Behind pectoralis major
Thoracoacromial (anterior wall axilla) Lateral thoracic (breast and anterior wall of thoracic
Distal axillary artery branches to pectoralis minor and why they supply
Anterior circumflex humeral
Posterior circumflex humeral
Subscapular which branchssnintk thoracodorsal and circumflex scapular
Supply posterior wall of axilla
Brachial artery starts ends
Begins at lower border of teres major and ends in cubital fossa
Lying anterior to triceps and brachialis
Brachial artery divides into
Radial and ulnar artery
Main branches are profunda brachii and collateral branches
Superior ulnar collateral artery anastomoses with
Posterior ulnar recurrent artery
Inferior ulnar collateral artery anastomoses with
Anterior ulnar recurrent artery
Cubital fossa roof muscles floor lateral and medial borders
Roof - brachial and antebrachial fascia, bicipital aponeurosis, subcutaneous tissue skin
Floor - brachialis and supinator muscles
Laterally - brachioradialis
Medially - pronator teres
Superiorly - line connecting medial and lateral epicondyles
Cubital fosss basics
Roof - bicipital aponeurosis Superior - line between epicndyles Medial - pronator teres Lateral - brachioradialis Floor - brachialis and supinator
Where does brachial artery terminate
As ulnar and radial arteries near neck of radius
Superior ulnar collateral artery Anastamoses with
Posterior ulnar recurrent artery
Inferior ulnar collateral artery joins with
Anterior ulnar recurrent artery
Radial collateral artery anastomoses with
Radial recurrent artery
Common anterior and posterior interosseous arteries are branches of
Ulnar artery
What does posterior interosseous supply
Middle 1/3 of posterior compartments of forearm (FA extensors)
What supplies medial forearm
Unnamed branches of ulnar (deep fa flexors and pronators)
Superficial palmar arch is terminal branch of what
Ulnar artery
Anterior interosseous
Travels along anterior IM piercing near proximal pronator quadratus
The deep palmar arch is a branch of
Radial artery
Blood supply to superficial untermiedate and deep forearm
Superficial radial
Intermediate radial and ulnar
Deep ulnar only
Where does ulnar artery enter hand
Anterior to flexor retinaculum between pisiform and hamate lateral to ulnar nerve
