Pectoral/thoraco-appemdocular region Flashcards
what veins descend on the medial and lateral sides of the upper arm
lat- cephalic
med- basilic
what vein is on the middle ant surface of forearm and what is it used for
median vein of forearm
–used for intervenous injection
main drainage of the upper limb is from this lymoh nodes
axillary lymph nodes (95%)
path of lymph from the cubital lymph nodes
cubital (right above med epicondyle) -> axillary -> apical -> supraclavicular -> subclavian lymph trunk -> venous system
what does the inf pectoral fold sign indicate
absence of pec major on one side of body
blood vessels comming off of aortic arch and at what point do they change name
subclavian becomes axillary after ridge iof 1st rib(runs deep to pec minor), once it reaches the humerus it will change its name to the brachial
what terminal branches does the brachial artery spilt into
ulnar and radial
3 main branches of axillary artery
- Sup thoracic
- Thoracoacromial trunk (4 branches)
- subscapular (3 branches)
what does the deep fascia envelope
will invest pec maj (connects to clavical and run towards the arm pit where it changes name to axillary fascia)
what is the name of the fascia the envelopes the pec minor and subclavius
clavipectoral fascia
what is the lig right below the pec minor called that conects to the alixillary fascia
suspensory lig of axilla
what is the fascia right above the pec minor
costocoricoid membrane
what passes thru the costocoricoid membrane
neurovascular bundle
what is in the neurovascular bundle that passes thru the costocoricoid membrane (4)
- cephalic v
- Thoracoacromial a branches
- lat pectoral n
- tail of mammary gland
what vein is utalized to reach the right atrium under fluoroscropy
celphalic vein
