Q

What are the branches of the ulnar artery?

A
  • Common interosseous artery
  • Anterior interosseous artery
  • Posterior interosseous artery
22
Q

Describe the anterior interosseous artery

A
  • Lies on interosseous membrane between flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus → perforating branches supply deep extensors gives nutrient branches to radius / ulna at upper border of pronator quadratus → posterior
    compartment
23
Q

Describe the posterior interosseous artery

A
  • Smaller vessel from ulnar artery /common interosseous artery
    between oblique cord and interosseous membrane → with
    posterior interosseous nerve / supplies deep extensors ends at
    back of wrist → dorsal carpal anastamosis
24
Q

Give details of scapular arterial anastomosis

A

Between branches of the 1st part of the subclavian artery with 3rd part of axillary artery

25
Q

Give details of arterial anastomosis at the elbow joint

A

Recurrent branches of radial, ulnar and interosseous artery passing up anteriorly and posteriorly to elbow → anastomose with descending branches of posterior brachial artery and superior and inferior ulnar collateral branches of brachial artery.

26
Q

Give details of arterial anastomosis at the wrist joint

A

Dorsal and palmar carpal branches of radial and ulnar arteries above the wrist joint freely anastomose.

27
Q

Give details of arterial anastomosis at the deep and superficial palmar

A

Radial and ulna arteries giving their deep and

superficial arch arteries eventually unite with one another

28
Q

Give the organisation of venous drainage

A

Organised into deep and superficial systems.

29
Q

Give the perforating vessels of the venous drainage.

A 
Pass venous blood to deep veins which accompany arteries. Important perforators at the mid medial biceps (basilic vein) and in
cubital fossa (median cubital vein)
30
Q

Give the venous drainage of the arm

A

Similarly named vessels to arteries in the drain proximally to axillary vein.

31
Q

Give the venous drainage of the forearm

A

Distal to the elbow main

arteries have venae commitantes a dual set of veins in close proximity.

32
Q

Give clinical importance of venous drainage

A

Superficial veins of the
upper limb are very important sites for IV access for drug delivery and fluid and blood replacement. NB cephalic vein and pacing wires

33
Q

Why are artery and veins proximal to eachother?

A

To pump venous blood back to heart

34
Q

What is the function of superficial lymph vessels?

A

To drain the skin

35
Q

Give details of superficial lymphatic drainage.

A
  • Medial vessels drain with basilic vein to epitrochlear and axillary nodes.
  • Lateral vessels drain with cephalic vein to infraclavicular and
    axillary nodes
36
Q

Give details of deep lymphatic drainage

A

They drain with

arteries to lateral axillary nodes

37
Q

Where do epitrochlear nodes lie?

A

At medial elbow

38
Q

What are the 5 groups of axillary nodes?

A
  • Pectoral
  • Lateral
  • Central
  • Apical
  • Infraclavicular
39
Q

What do pectoral nodes drain?

A

Lateral and anterior chest wall, breast ad anterior abdominal wall

40
Q

Where do lateral axillary nodes receive efferents from?

A

From upper limb

41
Q

What does the subscapular node drain?

A

The back of the trunk

42
Q

Where is the central axillary node situated?

A

Around axillary vessels

43
Q

Give details of the apical axillary node.

A

Receive from other groups, blockage →

lymphoedema

44
Q

Where are the infraclavicular nodes present?

A

They lie around end of cephalic vein → apical group

45
Q

Cephalic vein details

A

Pierces the clavipectoral fascia at upper end of the deltopectoral groove to enter axillary vein

46
Q

Where is the radial artery pulse?

A

Lateral to the tendon of flexor carpi radialis

47
Q

What is the course of the basilic vein

A

Pierces the fascia in the medial mid arm to jon the venae commitantes which together, at the inferior border of teres major, become the axillary vein

48
Q

Where is the brachia; artery pulse?

A

In the cubital fossa, lateral to the median nerve

49
Q

What should be performed before taking an arterial sample?

A

An Allen test

50
Q

What are the steps in the Allen test?

A
  • Patient clenches fist
  • Use finger to obstruct blow flow at ulnar and radial arteries
  • Release the ulnar artery - if hand flushes - good blood flow, if not bad blood flow
51
Q

What is the radial artery used for?

A

Radial cannulation
