What is a functional end artery
Artery that acts like an end artery because not sufficient anastomoses but if not anatomically an end artery
What structure divides limbs into compartments
Deep fascia
Describe venous drainage of hand
Medial: dorsal venous network drains into basilic vein on medial forearm then into brachial vein in mid arm.
Lateral: dorsal venous network drains into cephalic vein on lateral forearm that goes all the way up to pecs to draining axillary vein
What vein connects the basilic and cephalic veins
Median cubital
Describe venous drainage of leg
Posterior: dorsal venous arch (not network) to small saphenous vein then into popliteal vein
Anterior: dorsal venous arch to large saphenous vein on medial limb that drains into femoral vein
What is vena comitantes
when veins share the vascular sheath of an artery to benefit from the arteries pulses
Only deep veins
Lymphatic drainage of upper limb
into axillary nodes
Lymphatic drainage of lower limb
into inguinal nodes or popliteal nodes
