Venous
What is the purpose of venous valves
To prevent backflow and maintain unidirectional flow
_______ blood has the the greatest hemodynamic challenge to overcome
Venous blood
Where in the body is hydrostatic pressure greatest at
closest to ankle

b) decrease
b) decrease
Name 2 parts of the body where there are no valves
1) chest
2) abdomen
-examples are IVC, SVC, and iliac veins
How many valves do arms typically have
very few usually 1 per vein
Perforators must have at least ____ valve
1
Where does blood flow from the basilic vein
a) axillary
b) brachial
c) cephalic
d) radial
a) axillary
How many valves does the IVC have?
a) 3
b) 1
c) 2
d) 0
d) 0
Where does the blood flow from the renal veins
a) kidneys
b) IVC
c) SMV
d) portal vein
b) IVC
What drains the livers blood?
a) hepatic veins
b) IVC
c) hepatic artery
d) portal vein
a) hepatic veins
- the hepatic veins drain the livers blood. The portal veins drain blood into the liver
The GSV empties blood into what vessel?
a) CFV
b) FV
c) superior epigastric vein
d) external iliac vein
a) CFV
What describes the function of the soleal vein?
a) to act as a reservoirs used in correlation with the calf muscle pump
b) to act as perforating veins
c) to drain blood from the muscles into the superficial system
d) to accumulate into dilated channels emptying into SSV
a) to act as a reservoirs used in correlation with the calf muscle pump
-These pockets collect blood until the next calf contraction when blood is ejected into the deep veins and propelled towards the heart
Blood from the axillary vein will flow into which of the following vessels?
a) cephalic vein
b) IJV
c) brachial vein
d) innominate vein
d) innominate vein
-Follow the path of blood flow. From the axillary vein, blood flows as follows:
axillary > subclavain > innominate > SVC > Rt atrium
Which of the following veins would contain the most amount of valves?
a) PTV
b) FV
c) perforating vein
d) brachial
a) PTV
-Valves aid in returning venous blood upwards toward the heart. The most amount of valves would be in the veins in the calves since they have the greatest hydrostatic pressure
The lesser saphenous vein is located where?
a) Between the crural fascia and the muscular fascia
b) Located in the hypodermis layer
c) Between the greater saphenous vein and the femoral vein
d) Between the superficial fascia layer and the epidermis
b) Located in the hypodermis layer
Where does blood flow from the basilic vein?
a) axillary vein
b) brachial vein
c) cephalic vein
d) radial vein
a) axillary vein
Blood flow FROM the basilic vein INTO the axillary vein
What paired vein lies closest to the fibula?
a) posterior tibial
b) peroneal
c) anterior tibial
d) plantar
b) peroneal
What is the name for the perforating veins found in the medial side of the mid to lower calf?
a) cockett’s
b) dodd’s
c) hunterian
d) sherman’s
a) cockett’s
The calf muscle veins that drain into the posterior tibial or peroneal veins are known as:
a) small saphenous veins
b) soleal veins
c) gastrocnemius veins
d) perforator veins
b) soleal veins
