Superficial and Osseous Upper Limb Flashcards
____ vein begins at the medial (ulnar) confluence of the dorsal venous network of the hand - sends forearm and arm predominantly anteromedially - then passes through deep fascia near the junction of the inferior and middle thirds of the arm
basilic
The basilic vein joins veins accompanying the ____ artery - to then begin the ___ vein
brachial; axillary
The ___ vein begins at the lateral (radial) confluence of the dorsal venous network of the hand, crosses the anatomical snuff box - ascends forearm and arm predominantly anterolaterally - then at the clavipectoral triangle penetrates deep fascia to join the terminal portion of the axillary vein
cephalic
At the cubital fossa, a communication often courses from the cephalic vein, medially, to join the basilic vein - called the ___ ___ vein
median cubital
Superficial lymph vessels are less numerous than deep lymph vessels. True or false?
false, more numerous
Superficial lymphatics accompanying the basilic vein enter the ___ lymph nodes - located proximal to the medial epicondyle and medial to the basilica vein
cubital
Superficial lymphatics accompanying the cephalic vein enter the ___ lymph nodes
deltopectoral
Cutaneous spinal nerve representations along the upper limb follow a segmental pattern that is easy to recognize if the limb is in the “embryonic position” (abducted, with thumb superiorly) - thus, the lateral portion is more ___ than the medial portion
cranial
In regards to dermatomes, in general, C6 will be ___ from the elbow, C7 will be ___ the elbow, and C8 will be ___ from the elbow
lateral; near; medial
In regards to dermatomes, the thumb is consistently ___, index is ___, and little finger is ___
C6; C7; C8
From which vertebra do the nerves that make up the brachial plexus come from?
C5-T1
The median nerve distribution and ulnar nerve distribution are considered ___ ___ nerve distributions because they mix their way through the brachial plexus before distributing along the extremity
peripheral cutaneous
