Answer 11

Femoral

Question 12

Major vein the thigh/leg?

Answer 12

Saphenous

Question 13

Major connection for arteries and veins?

Answer 13

Anastomesis. It is common for a particular area of the body to be supplied by more than one artery or drained by more than one vein. These vessels that supply or drain the same area often connect with each other – the connection is called an anastomosis. Anastomoses are important because they provide alternative routes or bypasses for blood flow if the “main route” becomes blocked.

Question 14

“ superficial vein of the medial part of the arm”

Answer 14

basilic

Question 15

What is collateral circulation?

Answer 15

Collateral circulation is the redundant circulation in an area of tissue or an organ that blood can reach by more than one pathway. This is often a result of anastamoses, branches formed between adjacent blood vessels. Collateral circulation can be established in the venous system (between veins) or in the arterial system (between arteries)

Question 16

What is the end artery?

Answer 16

End arteries are the opposite of collateral vessels – they do not form anastomoses and are the only source of blood to a particular area. End arteries are found in the brain and kidney.

Question 17

What is venous plexus?

Answer 17

Congregation of multiple veins. In some areas multiple veins will form a network to drain the tissue.

Question 18

What is venal comitantes?

Answer 18

Single vein and artery pair. For example (radial vein and radial artery)

Question 19

What are the differences between origin and insertion?

Answer 19

“Skeletal muscle can attach to bone, fascia, skin or other muscles. The fixed attachment(s) is called the origin. The attachment(s) where movement takes place is the insertion.”

Question 20

Name the two major lymphatic ducts

Answer 20

There are two lymphatic ducts in the body, the thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct. The thoracic duct receives lymphatic drainage from most of the body (area in green), while the right lymphatic duct drains the upper right quadrant

Question 21

What is fascia?

Describe difference between superficial and deep

Answer 21

Fascia is connective tissue

1. Deep: forms covering around muscles, vessels and body cavities
2. Superficial (just below skin): nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels
