lec6 part 2 Flashcards
deep veins of the upper limb are situated
underneath the deep fascia
deep veins of the upper limb are
paired veins
Superficial & deep palmar venous arches Lie in the
subcutaneous tissue proximal to Metacarpophalangeal joints
veins empty into two radial & two ulnar veins
Superficial & deep palmar venous arches
paired veins
radial &
ulnar veins
Brachial veins
veins drain the hand
two radial & two ulnar veins
two radial & two ulnar veins unite to form
Brachial veins
Brachial veins are situated
either side of the brachial artery
vena comitantes.
Veins are structured in way that The pulsations of the artery assists the
venous return
Perforating veins run between
the deep and superficial veins of the upper limb, connecting the two systems
to keep the blood moving toward the heart, that if one vein is closed the blood in it will move toward the other vein.
Radial vein is
deep vein
Radial vein draining
the radial side of the forearm
Radial vein unites with
the ulnar vein just distal to the elbow joint to form the brachial vein
brachial vein formed from
Radial vein unites with the ulnar vein just distal to the elbow joint
Ulnar vein is
deep vein
Ulnar vein draining
the ulnar side of the forearm
Brachial vein begins at
elbow via a union of the radial & ulnar veins travels up the arm to form the axillary vein
Axillary Vein Formed by
the union of the Brachial veins (vena comitantes of brachial artery) with basilic vein
