Pelvic Limb Vessels Flashcards
iliolumbar a
courses cranial to wing of ilium
supplies psoas minor, Sartorius, tensor fascia Latae, middle gluteal mm
cranial gluteal a
courses caudal to wing of ilium across greater ischiatic notch
supplies middle and deep gluteal mm
muscular lacuna
passageway for femoral n and iliopsoas m
vascular lacuna
passageway for vessels coursing to pelvic limb
ex: femoral a and v, medial circumflex femoral a and v, saphenous n
femoral triangle
cd sartorious-> cranial border
pectineus-> caudal border
inguinal lig -> base
pudendoepigastric trunk
divides into external pudenal a and caudal epigastric a
usually not present in cats
medial circumflex femoral a
passes through vascular lacuna, continuation of deep femoral a
supplies adductor, vastus medialis, obturator, semimembranosus
distal caudal femoral a
supplies biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, gastrocnemius, ddf mm
popliteal a
continuation of femoral a after distal caudal femoral a
courses between 2 heads of gastrocemius over flexor surface of stifle through popliteal notch of tibia
supplies stifle, gastrocnemius, popliteus mm
cranial tibial a
continuation of popliteal a after caudal tibial a
courses between tibia and fibula
located near tibia between cranial tibial and long digital extensor
supplies fibularis longus, long digital extensor, and cranial tibial mm
dorsal pedal a
continuation of cranial tibial a distal to tarsocrural joint
main supply to tarsus
saphenous a
superficial blood supply to pes
medial v direction of flow
common digital vv
cranial and caudal branches
medial saphenous v
femoral v
lateral v direction of flow
dorsal common digital vv
plantar superficial arch
lateral saphenous v
distal caudal femoral v
femoral v
