41
Q

List two differences between Deep and superficial veins?

A

1) Deep veins parallel the arteries of the same name, Superficial veins are found in superficial fascia and externally visible
2) Deep veins drain muscles, bones and joints. Superficial veins drain subcutaneous tissue

42
Q

Which type of veins is Commonly used for venipuncture and transfusion?

A

Superficial veins

43
Q

Explain the connection between deep and superficial veins?

A

1) superficial and deep veins communicate by perforating (pierce the deep fascia) or communicating veins
2) Valves help direct blood from superficial to deep veins. Valves are present in deep, superficial and communicating veins to direct blood flow back to the heart

44
Q

3 mechanisms of venous return?

A
  1. Valves > unidirectional flow
  2. Muscular pump > force movement of blood
  3. Pulsation of Venae comitantes that are adjacent to Medium sized arteries

Cephalic vein and Basilic vein are linked by Median cubital vein @ cubital fossa

47
Q

Root and End of Basilic Vein?

A

arises from medial side of dorsal venous network;

joins brachial veins to form the axillary vein.

48
Q

Root and End of Cephalic Vein?

A

Cephalic vein: visible at anatomical snuffbox; runs up the lateral side of forearm and arm, joins axillary vein superiorly

50
Q

Describe the SUPERFICIAL venous drainage OF THE LOWER LIMB?

A

1) Dorsal venous arch > Great saphenous vein (MEDIAL, Anterior) > Saphenous opening @ fascia lata lateral and inferior to pubic tubercule > Femoral Vein
2) Dorsal venous arch > Small saphenous vein (LATERAL, Posterior) > Popliteal vein > Femoral vein

51
Q

2 types of lymphatic systems for draining limbs?

A

Superficial and Deep

52
Q

Difference between superficial and deep lymph vessels?

A

Superficial lymphatic collecting vessels in the subcutaneous tissue travel along superficial veins

Deep lymphatic vessels accompany the deep blood vessels

53
Q

Give the lymph nodes that drain the upper limbs?

A

Axillary nodes along axillary vein drains most of arm

Cubital nodes (small group of LN in front of elbow) drains small area @ medial cubital fossa

54
Q

Give the lymph nodes that drain the Lower limbs?

A

1) Superficial inguinal lymph nodes:
Horizontal group = along inguinal ligament
Vertical group = along Great saphenous vein

2) Deep inguinal LN: drain most lower limb + lower abdomen below umbilicus + Posterior gluteal region below iliac crest; Around middle inguinal ligament
3) Popliteal LN: in popliteal fossa, along small saphenous vein; drain heel and posterior calf
