Unit Two Vessels Of Hand Flashcards
What becomes a concern with the vasculature of the hand
Vascular system near the surface so heat loss becomes a concern
The ulnar artery enters the hand where
Superficial/ anterior to the flexor retinaculum lateral to pisiform, medial to hook of hamate (guyons canal) antero lateral to the ulnar nerve
The ulnar artery divides into what branches in the hand
Main branch, superficial palmar arch and deep palmar branch
How does the radial artery enter into the hand
Curves dorsally around the scaphoid and trapezium crossing the floor of the anatomical snuff box
The radial artery enters the palm where
Between the heads of the first dorsal interosseous muscle then turns medially between the heads of the adductor pollicis
As the radial artery crosses the deep palmar space the radial artery divides into a main branch called what
Deep palmar arch
The deep palmar arch turns medially where
Metacarpal bases
When the deep palmar arch turns medially at the metacarpal bases it meets what
Deep palmar branch off the ulnar artery
What forms off the deep palmar arch
Palmar metacarpals arteries
The superficial palmar arch gives off what arteries
Common palmar digital arteries
The common palmar digital attires go to what digits
2-4
What anastomoses to form the pairs proper palmar digital arteries
Common palmar digital arteries and palmar metacarpal arteries
The deep palmar arch also gives off what other arteries
Princeps pollicis artery and radialic indicis artery
What veins parallel the arterial structure in the hand
Superficial and deep palmar venous arches
Dorsal metacarpal veins unite to form what
Dorsal venous network
