Upper Extremities Blood Circulation Flashcards
238
Subclavian arteries supply blood to the Upper Extremities
241
At the border of the 1st rib, subclavian becomes the axillary artery
246
After axillary artery passes the axilla it is called brachial artery
254
Just below the below the brachial artery divides into 2 branches: Radial and Ulnar arteries
265
Both radial and ulnar arteries extend into the palm of the hand where they subdivide into superficial and deep volar arches
270
Superficial and Deep volar arches extend into the digital arteries
275
From digital arteries the blood into arterioles and then into capillaries in order to nourish the cells
290
Trace the path of blood from the heart to the capillaries of the left hand
291
From capillaries the blood flows into venules
294
The venules then carry the blood to the superficial land Deep Volar Venous Arches
313
The blood from the superficial volar venous arches flows into a network of superficial veins, the dorsal venous network of the hand
318
From the dorsal venous network, 2 large veins extend superficially upward, returning the blood toward the heart.
319
Cephalic vein extends superficially from the dorsal venous network along the thumb side of arm
323
Basilic vein extends superficially upward along the little finger of the arm
332
Cephalic vein extends superficially upward to empty into the axillary vein
