Lecture 9: Vascular supply to upper extremity Flashcards
Axillary vein formed by
Union of basilic vein and venae comitantes
Radial artery
Gives off radial recurrent to radial collateral from deep brachial
Enters wrist and hand to form deep palmar arch
Ulnar artery
Gives off common interosseous artery near its orgin
Runs through antebrachium with ulnar nerve
Enters wrist and hand to form superficial palmar arch
Dorsal scapular artery runs
Along the vertebral border of the scapula
Median cubital vein lies
Superficial to bicipital aponeurosis
Third part of axillary artery
Posterior circumflex artery
Anterior circumflex artery
Subscapular artery
Basilic vein runs
Along medial side of antebrachium
Runs in deep fascia along medial side of brachium
Part two of the subclavian arteries
Posterior to the anterior scalene muscle
Cephalic vein dumps into the
Axillary vein
________ drains medial side of dorsal venous arch
Basilic vein
Posterior circumflex humeral
Passes around posterior aspect of surgical neck of humerus
Anastomoses with the anterior circumflex humeral a.
Runs with axillary nerve
Supplies deltoids, triceps and parts of contents of quadrilateral space
Arterial branches anastomosing on scapula
Suprascapular artery Dorsal scapular artery Posterior intercostal arteries Circumflex scapular artery Thoracodorsal artery
Subclavian vein forms
Brachiocephalic vein x2 along with jugular veins
Axillary vein renamed ______ after
Subclavian vein after it passes under clavicle
Brachial artery runs
Medial to median nerve in upper part of arm
Lateral to median nerve in lower part of arm
Passes deep to bicipital aponeurosis lateral to median nerve and medial to bicipital tendon
Part one of the subclavian arteries
Medial to the anterior scalene muscle
Deep brachial artery branches
Ascending branch to posterior circumflex humeral artery
Descending branch becomes radial collateral
Second part of axillary artery
Deep to pectoralis minor
Thoracoacromial artery
Lateral thoracic artery
Brachiocephalic veins come together to form
Superior vena cava
Subclavian artery runs
Across subclavian groove behind anterior scalene muscle
Passes between first rib and clavicle and is renamed the axillary artery at the inferior border of the first rib
Suprascapular artery passes
Passes b/w sternomastoid and anterior scalene muscles
Passes over suprascapular ligament to supraspinous fossa
Passes through spinoglenoid notch to infraspinous fossa
Left subclavian artery is a
Direct branch from the aortic arch
Lateral lymphatic drainage
Lymphatics follow cephalic vein to chain of nodes in deltapectoral groove to axillary nodes
Cephalic vein runs
Along lateral side of antebrachium in superficial fascia
Runs along lateral side of brachium in superficial fascia
Runs through deltopectoral triangle
Pierces clavipectoral fascia
