Chapter 5 venous Anatomy and Hemodynamics

Question 1

What do Deep System veins do?

Answer 1

-Carry majority of leg blood volume
-Run along major arteries of the same name
-Become paired in calf

Question 2

What are the characteristics of superficial system veins?

Answer 2

Smaller in diameter,
Run close to skin surface,
Have no accompanying arteries

Question 3

Calf Muscle Veins

Answer 3

Considered part of the deep system,
Drain blood from gastrocnemius and soleus muscles in calf

Question 4

Perforators

Answer 4

Allow communication between deep and superficial systems,

Normal blood flow should be from superficial to deep

Question 5

A left ventricle
B right atrium
C internal common iliac

Answer 5

B right atrium

Question 6

The SSV arises from the
A GSV
B PTV
C popliteal vein

Answer 6

C pop vein

Question 7

The calf veno motor pump comprises the

Answer 7

Calf veins,
Skeletal muscle,
Semilunar valves

Question 8

Which lower extremity vein has the most valves
A CFV
B pop veins
C calf veins

Answer 8

C calf veins, GSV 12, SSV 6-12

Question 9

During calf muscle contraction which valves close and which stay open?
A distal calf valve closes, Prox calf valve opens, perfs close

Answer 9

A distal calf valve closes to prevent back flow, Prox valve opens and perfs close to prevent back flow
