What nerve travels along side the Deep brachial artery?
Radial Nerve
26
What does both Deep brachial arterty and Radial nerve go through?
Musculospiral groove
27
What does the Brachial artery travel deep to initially?
Biceps brachii
28
What travels into Biceps brachii with Brachial artery?
Median and Ulnar nerves
29
The brachial artery continues down to what area bifrucates into two arteries in the forearm?
The Cubital fossa
30
What travels through the Cubital tunnel?
Ulnar nerve
31
What two arteries does the Brachial artery slip into in the cubital fossa?
Radial and Ulnar arteries
32
Where is the Brachial artery in the level of the elbow and why is it clinically important?
at the level of the elbow Brachial artery is anterior aspect after piercing through the cubital fossa. This location is where to take BP.
33
Which is lateral and medial after the split of the Brachial artery: Radial/Ulnar artery
Lateral branch Radial artery | Median branch Ulnar artery
34
For an infant where would take a pulse?
brachial pulse
35
Is the radial artery traveling deep or superficial at the area of the forearm and wrist anteriorly?
very superficial especially near the wrist
36
What does the Radial artery travel just lateral to in the wrist?
distal flexor carpi radialis tendon
37
what is the clinical importance of the distal flexor carpi radialis tendon?
Pulse point
38
what does the radial artery travel into posteriorly after the distal flexor carpi radialis tendon?
anatomical snuff box
39
what does the anatomical snuff box sit directly superficial to?
scaphoid bone
40
The snuff box is found by three tendons what are they?
Lateral aspect: extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus Medial aspect: extensor pollicis longus Floor aspect: most proximal and lateral carpal bone: scaphoid
41
does scaphoid bone have good blood supply?
No. The posterior is very avascular.
42
which carpal bone fractures the most often?
the scaphoid bone
43
If someone comes and complains about falling and wrist pain, which bone do you palpate?
the scaphoid bone
44
After the Radial artery traveled through the anatomical snuff box it will dive back anteriorly toward the palm side and do what?
split
45
what is the distal palmar split of the radial artery?
Splits into superficial palmar arch and deep palmar arch
46
what does superficial palmar arch and deep palmar arch come together to form?
anastomosis
47
The Ulnar artery travels deep to what?
Flexor carpi ulnaris
48
what nerve runs along side of the ulnar artery deep to flexor carpi ulnaris?
Ulnar nerve
49
What aspect of the forearm is the Ulnar artery and ulnar nerve running?
Medially
50
As soon as the Ulnar artery branches from the brachial artery what does it give off?
the common interosseous artery
51
The common interosseous artery branches into what two arteries?
posterior and anterior interosseous arteries
52
what nerves travel along the posterior and anterior interosseous artery?
posterior and anterior interosseous nerve
53
What does the Ulnar artery travel into the hand through?
Guyon's canal
54
what artery does the Ulnar artery anastomose with in the hand?
radial artery

Does the subclavian vein travel through the scalene triangle?
NO.
58
How is the subclavian vein found in the origin region? HINT: what muscle is it oriented to?
Anterior to the anterior scalene
59
What bone is the subclavian vein level to?
clavicle
60
What vein does the subclavian vein become once it passes the level of the clavicle?
Axillary vein
61
What vein is the most medial in the axillary fossa?
Axillary vein
62
What would the axillary vein look like?
Purple, red, or blue. and flaccid unless its completely filled with blood.
63
Is the diameter of the axillary vein large or small
very large
64
Once the axillary vein passes the level of Teres major what does it become?
Brachial vein
65
What does the brachial vein branch into in the arm area?
Smaller veins that surround the Ulnar and radial arteries. they are called Cephalic vein and Basilic vein.
66
Superficial venous Cephalic vein travels how on the arm?
Laterally
67
Superficial venous Basilic vein travels how on the arm?
