19
Q

What major Artery of the Hand is responsible for the Superficial Palmar Arterial Arch?

A

The Ulnar Artery

20
Q

What major Artery of the Hand is responsible for the Deep Palmar Arterial Arch

A

The Radial Artery

21
Q

When the Radial Artery ducks under the Thumb, what structure does it pass through?

A

The Anatomical Snuffbox

22
Q

On the Dorsal side, what two Arteries come off of the Radial artery when it ducks behind the Thumb?

A

Dorsalis Pollicis

1st Dorsal Metacarpal Artery

23
Q

The First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery comes off of the Radial Artery. What structure gives rise to the 2nd through 4th?

A

The Dorsal Carpal Arch

24
Q

What two oddly named Arteries of the Thumb does the Radial Artery make?

Which one is Dorsal, and which one is Palmar?

A

Dorsal: Dorsalis Pollicis

Palmar: Princeps Pollicis

25
Q

What Artery supplies the lateral side of the Second Digit?

A

Princeps Pollicis

26
Q

What four arteries supply the Third and Fourth digits?

A

Two Proper Palmar Digital Arteries

Two Dorsal Digital Arteries

27
Q

What do Proper Palmar Digital Arteries split off from?

A

Common Palmar Digital Arteries

28
Q

What do Dorsal Digital Arteries split off from?

A

Dorsal Metacarpal Arteries

29
Q

What supplies the medial side of the 5th Digit?

A

The medial Proper Palmar Digital Artery of the 5th Digit

The pinky does not get a medial Dorsal Digital Arteries

30
Q

If the Superficial Palmar Arterial Arch was blocked, how might the Palmar side of the Digits receive blood?

A

Blood can flow from the Deep Palmar Arterial Arch through the Palmar Metacarpal Arteries into the Common Palmar Digital Arteries

31
Q

Where might one find the Cephalic Vein?

A

On the lateral side of the Upper Extremity, crossing the head of the Humerus and joining in with the Scapula.

32
Q

Where might one find the Median Cubital Vein?

What two Veins does it connect?

A

In the Antecubital Fossa

The Cephalic and Basilic Vein

33
Q

What is the Axillary Vein emptied into by?

When does it become the Subclavian Vein?

A

Brachial Veins (Veins of the Brachial Arteries), Cephalic Vein and Basilic Vein

When it passes the First Rib

34
Q

What makes the Median Cubital Vein such a good site for Venipuncture?

A

Because of the protective nature of the Bicipital Aponeurosis.

35
Q

What is the clinical importance of Axillary Lymph Nodes?

A

They are frequently invaded by cancer cells.
