Chapter 21: Venous anatoy Flashcards
venae comitantes
veins corresponding to matching arteries
paired peroneal veins
formed by confluence of venules
empty lateral leg
paired posterior tibial veins
formed by confluence of venules
empty back of leg
paired anterior tibial veins
formed by confluence of venules
empty front of leg
popliteal vein
formed by union of ATV and tibial peroneal trunk
becomes femoral vein
femoral vein
popliteal vein becomes femoral vein when it passes through adductor hiatus
common femoral vein
formed by femoral vein and deep femoral vein joining
the common femoral vein becomes
external iliac vein when it passes through inguinal ligament
the common iliac vein is formed by
confluence of external and internal iliac veins
may thurner syndrome
left common iliac vein passes under right common iliac artery and extrinsic compression happens this can lead to a left lower extremity dvt
IVC
formed by confluence of common iliac veins at level of 5th lumbar vertebrae
carries blood into right atrium
small saphenous vein (lesser saph)
ascends back of calf
joins popliteal vein
what is the longest vein in the body
great saphenous vein
great saphenous vein travels
medial to saphenofemoral junction in groin
arises from dorsum of foot
perofators
carry blood from superifical veins into deep veins
posterior arch vein
has three ankle perforators
plays major role in development of venous stasis ulcers
SSV has an important
lateral perforating branch
important perforators of posterior arch vein
cockett I II and III
intracranial venous sinus
space between dura mater and periosteum that drains blood into the ijv
lower extremity venous sinus/ soleal sinus
dilated channels in soleal and gastroc muscle
drain blood into ptv and perov
major part of vald muscle pump
