Peripheral Vascular System

Question 1

Are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from heart to capillaries

Answer 1

Arteries

Question 2

Each heartbeat forces blood through the arterial vessels under high pressure, creating a surge.

Answer 2

Arterial pulse

Question 3

Major arteries of arms and legs

Answer 3

Peripheral arteries

Question 4

Major arteries of the arm

Answer 4

Brachial artery
Radial Artery
Ulnar Artery

Question 5

can be palpated on the lateral aspect of the wrist.

Answer 5

Radial pulse

Question 6

located on the medial aspect of the wrist, is a deeper pulse and may not be easily palpated.

Answer 6

Ulnar Pulse

Question 7

The radial and ulnar arteries join to form two arches just below their pulse sites.

Answer 7

Superficial and deep palmar arches

Question 8

3 types of veins

Answer 8

Deep veins
superficial veins
perforator (communicator veins

Question 9

2 deep veins

Answer 9

Question 10

2 types of deep veins

Answer 10

Femoral and popliteal

Question 11

Types Superficial veins

Answer 11

Great and small saphenous veins

Question 12

Longest of all veins

Answer 12

Great saphenous veins

Question 13

Pulse strength

Answer 13

Absent 0
Weak 1
Normal 2
Strong 3
Bounding 4

Question 14

Perforator veins

Answer 14

Connect with deep and superficial veins

Question 15

3 mechanisms of venous function help to propel blood back to the heart.

Answer 15

1st - structure of veins (one way valves)
2nd - muscular contraction
3rd - creation of pressure gradient

Question 16

If there is a problem with any of these mechanisms, venous return is impeded

Answer 16

Venous stasis

Question 17

are small blood vessels that form the connection between the arterioles and venules and allow the circulatory system to maintain the vital equilibrium between the vascular and interstitial spaces.

Answer 17

Capillaries

Question 18

These capillaries join to form larger vesselsthat pass through filters called

Answer 18

Lymph nodes
