Question 38

The small saphenous vein penetrates:

Answer 38

the deep fascia of the popliteal fossa

It ascends between the heads of the gastrocnemius muscle to join the popliteal vein

Question 39

Perforating veins penetrate:

Answer 39

the deep fascia

Question 40

Perforating veins are tributaries of:

the saphenous veins

Question 41

valves of the perforating veins are located where?

Answer 41

just distal to penetration of the deep fascia

Question 42

the perforating veins cross the _____ ____ obliquely

why?

Answer 42

deep fascia

so that muscle contractions cause valves to close prior to venous compression so blood is forces proximally (musculo-venous pump)
