Thoracic Limb Vessels Flashcards
left subclavian a
arises from the aorta
right subclavian a
arises from the brachiocephalic trunk
axillary a
becomes this once subclavian passes first lateral rib
superficial cervical a
branch of subclavian that supplies blood to superficial muscles at base of neck, scapula and shoulder
external thoracic a
supply superficial pectoral
internal thoracic a
supply deep pectoral, latissimus dorsi, skin
subscapular a
supply scapula, shoulder muscles, long head triceps, rhomboideus and trapezius muscles
thoracodorsal a
supply latissimus dorsi, teres major and skin
caudal circumflex humeral a
supply triceps brachii, deltoideus, coracobrachialis, infraspinatus and shoulder joint
cranial circumflex humeral a
supply biceps brachii and shoulder joint
deep brachial a
main supply to triceps brachii
bicipital a
supply biceps brachii
collateral ulnar a
supply triceps brachii, ulnar n and elbow
superficial brachial a
gives rise to cranial superficial anterbrachial a
transverse cubital a
supply elbow and adjacent mm
deep antebrachial a
blood supply for flexor mm
radial a
runs close to radius and helps supply the manus
median a
principle source of manus blood supply
after common interosseous
arterial supply to manus
(per digit) dorsal and palmar common digital a
dorsal and palmar metacarpal a
arterial supply to digit
(per digit) dorsal and palmar axial proper digital a
dorsal and palmar abaxial proper digital a
satellite vein
vein draining in the same teritory as he artery
returns blood to heart
axillobrachial v
from cephalic v to axillary v
omobrachial v
from axilobrachial v to external jugular v
accessory cephalic v
arises from veins on dorsal manus surface
joins cephalic vein on cranial aspect of antebrachium
