Q

Femoral Artery (hip to knee)

Liner Guide:

22
Q 
Femoral Artery (hip to knee) 
Anatomical Guide
A

Through the center of the femoral triangle (three sided area of the thigh) bounded laterally by the Sartorius muscle and medially by the adductor longus muscle.

23
Q 
Femoral Artery (hip to knee) 
Anatomical Limits
A

Begins at a point posterior to the center of the inguinal ligament and terminates at the opening of the adductor magnus muscle - (a point above the back of the knee).

24
Q 
Femoral Artery (hip to knee) 
Place of Incision
A

Along any portion of the superior two-thirds (2/3) of the linear guide. (Where we advocate raising is just inferior to the inguinal ligament). Because the artery and vein lie parallel to each other; visually you will be less likely to puncture the wall of the vein.

25
Q

the superior boundary of the femoral triangle

A

inguinal ligament

26
Q

The point at which the Sartorius muscle and adductor longus meet is known as

A

apex of femoral triangle.

27
Q

Fascia tissue

A

Hunter’s canal

28
Q

Most lateral blood vessel of femoral triangle

A

femoral artery

29
Q

Most medial structure in femoral triangle in relationship to inguinal ligament

A

termination of the great saphenous vein

30
Q 
Femoral Artery (hip to knee)
Place of Incision
A

Along any portion of the superior two-thirds (2/3) of the linear guide. (Where we advocate raising is just inferior to the inguinal ligament). Because the artery and vein lie parallel to each other; visually you will be less likely to puncture the wall of the vein.

31
Q

Considerations of raising femoral artery:

A

Large in size.
Lower portion of body can be embalmed without concern of distention of the face.
(Allows for equal distribution of fluid to the head.)

32
Q

Precautions of raising femoral artery:

A

Vessels are deep seated in obese cases.

Drainage may be difficult to establish and maintain.

33
Q

Accompanying vein of femoral artery

A

Femoral vein

34
Q

in relationship to the femoral artery; Mid-thigh; at a point or below the apex of the femoral triangle; where would the femoral vein lie?

A

medial and deep

35
Q

in relationship to femoral artery just below the inguinal ligament, the femoral vein lies

A

medial

36
Q

What is the name of the artery just superior or inferior to the apex of the femoral triangle?

A

Femoral artery

37
Q

What is the name of the vein just superior or inferior to the apex of the femoral triangle?

A

Femoral vein

38
Q 
Popliteal Artery (behind the knee)
Linear Guide
A

Through the center of the popliteal space parallel to the long axis of the lower extremities

39
Q 
Popliteal Artery (behind the knee)
Anatomical Limits
A

Begins at the opening of the adductor magnus muscle and terminates at the inferior (lower) border of the popliteus muscle (about one inch below the knee).

40
Q 
Popliteal Artery (behind the knee)
Place of incision
A

Parallel incision on the posteromedial aspect of the thigh just superior to the popliteal space

41
Q

(between knee and ankle) first artery located in leg region, will eventually cross in front of the tibia or shin bone.

A

Anterior Tibial Artery

42
Q

bones of the ankles

A

tarsal bones

43
Q

Anterior Tibial Artery

Linear guide

A

From the lateral border of the patella to the anterior (top) surface of the ankle joint.

44
Q

Anterior Tibial Artery

Anatomical Limits

A

begins at the inferior border of the popliteus muscle and will terminate at the level of the ankle joint

45
Q

Anterior Tibial Artery

Place of incision

A

along the lateral margin of the inferior one- third of the crest of the tibia. Injected inferiorly will ensure distribution to toenail surface and anterior surface of the foot.

46
Q

this artery never passes in front of the shin bone or tibia

A

Posterior Tibial Artery

47
Q

Posterior Tibial Artery

Linear Guide

A

From the center of the popliteal space to a point midway between the medial malleolus (boney prominence located off the distal end of the tibia or shin bone) and the calcaneus (heel bone; one of the tarsal bones).

48
Q

Posterior Tibial Artery

Anatomical Limits

A

begins at the inferior border of the popliteus muscle and we don’t care where it terminates.

49
Q

Posterior Tibial Artery

Place of incision

A

midway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneal tendon

50
Q

last major artery of lower extremities

A

Dorsalis Pedis (foot)

51
Q 
Dorsalis Pedis (foot) 
Linear Guide
A

From the center of the anterior (top) surface of the ankle joint to a point between the first and second digits. Digits of toes are number from most medial to most lateral. First digit is the big toe

52
Q 
Dorsalis Pedis (foot) 
Anatomical Limits
A

begins at the level of the ankle joint. It is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery.

53
Q 
Dorsalis Pedis (foot) 
Place of incision
A

Along the superior one-third (1/3) of the linear guide. Clear up toenail surface.

54
Q

Last major artery an embalmer would raise to clear up the sole of the foot.

A

Dorsalis Pedis
