Q

where do the vertebral arteries travel through?

A

the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae
- follows the cervical vertebrae up

25
what happens when we have a very long blood vessel?
it changes names sometimes so that we can use the terms clinically
26
where does the right subclavian artery run relative to the clavicle?
deep to the clavicle, towards the armpit
27
where does the right subclavian artery run relative to rib 1?
superficial to the first rib
28
what is the right subclavian artery called once it passes the clavicle and the first rib?
right axillary artery
29
what does axilla mean?
armpit
30
what is the right axillary artery called once is passes the teres major insertion/bicipital groove?
right brachial artery
31
what does the brachial artery branch into?
the deep brachial artery
32
where does the deep brachial artery go?
wraps around to the posterior of the arm to dump blood there
33
when does the right brachial artery branch and change names?
after the elbow joint
34
what does the brachial artery change into after the elbow joint?
1. the right radial artery 2. the right ulnar artery
35
is the radial artery superficial or deep at the wrist?
superficial at the wrist, this is why we can take pulses here
36
what does the radial artery branch into at the wrist?
superficial and deep branches
37
what muscle does the ulnar artery pass deep to?
flexor carpi ulnaris
38
what does the ulnar artery branch into at the wrist?
superficial and deep branches
39
why are the deep and superficial branches of the radial and ulnar arteries important?
because the deep branches join together and the superficial branches join together to form the superficial and deep palmar arches
40
what is an anastomos?
when we have two or more arteries that join together to supply blood to an area
41
where do we typically see anastomos?
in areas that we really have to make sure that we always have blood supply
42
if we have a blockage in the radial artery, what will happen?
there is an anastomose, so the ulnar artery will be able to supply it
43
what is the major contributor of the superficial palmar arch?
ulnar artery
44
what is the major contributor of the deep palmar arch?
radial artery
45
what types of branches of arteries do we have in the thorax and abdomen?
- visceral artery branches - parietal/muscular branches
46
what does visceral mean?
organs
47
where does visceral branches go?
to the organs
48
what do the visceral artery branches of the thorax come off of?
the descending thoracic aorta
49
where are the parietal/muscular branches of the thorax going to run?
right in the thorax wall - supplying all the muscle of the wall of the thorax
50
what are the parietal/muscular branches called once they split up?
intercostal arteries
51
what does intercostal mean?
in between the ribs
52
what is the descending thoracic aorta called once it crosses the diaphragm?
the abdominal aorta
53
how far does the abdominal aorta go down?
about the level of the L4 vertebrae where it splits
54
what does the abdominal aorta split into?
- left common iliac arteries - right common iliac arteries
55
where do the parietal/muscular branches of the abdomen go?
out in the back wall of the abdomen, superficially - just like the thorax
56
what does the parietal/muscular branches of the abdomen supply?
gives blood to all of the muscles that are around the outside of the abdomen (abdominal wall)
57
what are the three visceral branches of the abdomen that all come off of the abdominal aorta?
1. celiac trunk 2. superior mesenteric artery 3. inferior mesenteric artery
58
what does most of the visceral arteries of the abdomen supply?
mostly gastrointestinal organs because those are mostly the organs in the abdomen area
59
where does the abdominal aorta turn into the celiac trunk?
after passing the top of the large intestine
60
where does the celiac trunk turn into the superior mesenteric artery?
not far below the pancreas
61
what does the superior mesenteric artery turn into?
the interior mesenteric artery at about L1 - L2
62
what is going to supply blood to the organs/viscera of the abdomen? (pancreas, small and large intestine, etc.)
the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery and all of their branches
63
what does the left and right common iliac arteries split into?
- internal iliac arteries - external iliac arteries
64
what does the internal iliac arteries supply?
organs in the floor of pelvis (bladder, reproductive organs, etc.)
65
where does the external iliac arteries head?
out of the pelvis, towards the lower limb
66
what big ligament of the pelvis does the external iliac arteries un under towards the lower limb?
the inguinal ligament
67
what is the inguinal ligament?
a piece of connective tissue that runs from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle
68
what does the external iliac arteries change names to after it passes the inguinal ligament?
the femoral arteries
69
where does the right femoral artery run?
runs medial through the thigh
70
what branches out of the femoral arteries superiorly?
the deep artery of the thigh / deep femoral artery
71
where does the deep femoral artery run?
posteriorly and gives branches to supply the posterior of the thigh
72
what artery runs through the opening of the adductor magnus muscle?
the femoral artery
73
where does the femoral artery go after going through the adductor magnus muscle?
cross right behind the knee
74
what does the name of the femoral artery change to when it gets behind the knee?
the popliteal artery - branches to supply the knee with arterial blood
75
what does the name of the popliteal artery change to once it passes the popliteus muscle?
splits to give us: - anterior tibial artery - posterior tibial artery
76
what does the anterior tibial artery pass through as soon as it becomes the anterior tibial artery?
a little opening above the interosseus membrane between the tibia and fibula - this is so it goes to the front after being posterior (popliteal artery)
77
where does the posterior tibial artery run?
posteriorly along the back of the leg
78
what does the anterior tibial artery turn into when it passes the ankle?
the dorsalis pedis artery which then branches into the superior and dorsal of the foot
79
where does the posterior tibial artery run?
deep to the soleus muscle
80
what branch does the posterior tibial artery give pretty superiorly?
the fibular/peroneal artery
81
what artery supplies the lateral leg?
the fibular/peroneal artery
82
what does the posterior tibial artery divide into when it passes the ankle?
- medial plantar arteries - lateral plantar arteries
83
what does the medial and lateral plantar arteries supply?
the plantar surface of the foot - also branches to the toes and bottom of the foot
