Dissection 1 Flashcards
Which vein passes through the pectoral triangle?
The cephalic vein
Where does the cephalic vein run?
Runs proximally on the lateral side of the anterior forearm then arm
Where does the cephalic vein originate from?
Dorsal venous network on the dorsum of the hand
Housemans vein
Cephalic vein on the lateral aspect of the distal forearm, readily accessible for sitting a cannula
Deltopectoral triangle
Lateral border of the pec. major
Medial border of the deltoid
Clavicle
Vein commonly used for venepuncture
Median cubital vein
Where does the basilic vein run and where does it puncture?
Runs proximally on the medial aspect of the anterior forearm and then punctures the deep fascia at about the mid-arm level to become the brachial vein
Where does the basilic vein originate?
From the dorsal venous network on the dorsum of the hand
Where are the cubital lymph nodes?
In the superficial fascia of the cubital fossa, anterior to the medial epicondyle
Lymphatic vessels that accompany the basilic vein drain through which nodes?
(superficial)
Drain through cubital lymph nodes and these drain into apical axillary nodes
Lymphatic vessels that accompany cephalic vein drain into where?
(superficial)
Apical axillary nodes
Lymphatic vessels that accompany deep veins (those accompanying radial and ulnar and brachial arteries) drain into where?
Humeral (lateral) axillary nodes
Ultimately, lymph vessels from the upper limb follow the subclavian vein to drain into
The venous system at the venous angle
