40
Q

What does the axillary artery/vein begin as and when does it turn into the axillary?

A

Begins as the subclavian artery crosses over the first rib. Runs until the vessel passes the inferior border of the teres major muscle.

41
Q

Beginning and end of the brachial artery/vein.

How is this artery used in everyday clinical practice?

A
  • Begins as axillary artery passes the inferior border of the teres major; ends at the burification into the radial and ulnar arteries.
  • Used to measure blood pressure
42
Q

Beginning & end of ulnar a/v

A

Begins at the bifurcation of the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. Ends as it joins the palmar arches in the hand.

43
Q

Where is the palmar arch?

A

Superficial in the hand.

44
Q

Where is the common digital a/v located?

A

Extend from the superficial palmar arch toward the digits.

45
Q

Where is the digital arteries proper located?

A

At the base of the digits, the common digital artery branches to form two arteries, one for each adjacent digit.

46
Q

What are the 3 upper limb veins (superficial)?

A

Q

Basilic V starts where and drains into where?

A

Runs from the little finger and along the medial side of the upper limb, drains into the brachial vein in the arm.

48
Q

Where does the Cephalic V begin and where does it drain into?

A

Runs from the base of the thumb along the lateral side of the upper limb, runs through a groove between the deltoid and pectoralis majors muscles before draining into the auxiliary vein.

Becomes the temoral artery- lower limb

61

What does the word “common” mean in reference to arteries?

A

That it will most likely split eventually.

62
Q

Define the hepatic portal system.

A

Drains blood from the intestines that contains food into the liver where it can be detoxified.
(The first capillary bed is in the intestines and the second is in the liver)
