UE Angiology Flashcards
Region 1 of the Subclavian A. is proximal to the Anterior Scalene M. What is included in this region?
Vertebral A.
Internal Thoracic A.
Thyrocervical Trunk
What arteries branch of the Thyrocervical Trunk?
Inferior Thyroid A.
Suprascapular A.
Transverse Cervical A.
How does the Suprascapular A. travel?
Through the Suprascapular Notch OVER the Transverse Scapular L.
***Remember the Suprascapular N. goes UNDER the Transverse Scapular L. (aka Army Over Navy)
The Transverse Cervical A. branches into a Superficial and Deep branch. The Superficial Branch supplies the Trapezius M. while the Deep Branch (if present) supplies the Rhomboids and Levator Scapulae Ms. by replacing what artery?
Dorsal Scapular A.
What is in region 2 of the Subclavian A. (deep to Anterior Scalene M.)?
Costocervical Trunk (branches into Supreme Intercostal A. and Deep Cervical A.)
What is in region 3 of the Subclavian A. (distal to the Anterior Scalene M. but proximal to the 1st rib)?
Dorsal Scapular A.
This is a continuation of the Subclavian A. distal to the 1st rib.
Axillary A.
Axillary A. is divided into 3 regions by the Pectoralis Minor M. What is in region 1, distal to the 1st rib and proximal to the Pectoralis Minor M.?
Superior Thoracic A.
What is in region 2 of the Axillary A., deep to the Pectoralis Minor M.?
Thoracoacromial Trunk
Lateral Thoracic A.
What are the branches of the Thoracoacromial Trunk?
Pectoral
Acromial
Clavicular
Deltoid
The Lateral Thoracic A. travels along the lateral border of the Pectoralis Minor M. and supplies…
Serratus Anterior M.
What is in region 3 of the Axillary A. distal to the Pectoralis Minor M. and proximal to the Teres Major M.?
Subscapular A.
Anterior Circumflex Humeral A.
Posterior Circumflex Humeral A.
What branches off the Subscapular A.?
Circumflex Scapular A.
Thoracodorsal A. (supplies Latissimus Dorsi M.)
The Circumflex Scapular A. travels around the lateral border of the Scapula, where it is visible in the _______ _______, into the Infraspinous Fossa where it contributes to the Scapular Anastomosis.
Triangular Space
Which artery in region 3 is in the Quadrangular Space?
Posterior Circumflex Humeral A.
This is the largest, yet shortest branch of the Axillary A.
Subscapular A.
Region ______ of the Axillary A. is susceptible to aneurysm in individuals experiencing repeated rapid arm movements (like Baseball pitcher) and can compress the Brachial Plexus, resulting in pain and loss of sensation.
One
Due to extensive anastomoses around the scapula, to cut off all blood supply to the arm, ligation must be where?
Distal to the Subscapular A.
Ligation of the Axillary A. between the Thyrocervical Trunk and Subscapular A. results in a reversal of blood flow in the Subscapular A. due to collateral circulation arriving via which arteries? These provide a continued feed of arterial blood to the Brachial A.
Suprascapular A.
Transverse Cervical A.
Intercostal A.
This is a continuation of the Axillary A. distal to the Teres Major M.
Brachial A.
This is a branch of the Brachial A. that travels with the Radial N. and supplies the posterior Brachial muscles. It terminates at two branches that feed into the Elbow Anastomosis.
Deep Brachial A.
What does the Deep Brachial A. branch into?
Middle Collateral A.
Radial Collateral A. (more lateral)
This branch of the Brachial A. enters the Humeral Nutrient Canal to supply the Humerus.
Humeral Nutrient A.
