Upper extremity Venous Flashcards
Where do the radial and ulnar veins join
Near antecubital fossa
Ulnar and radial veins join into
Brachial veins
Deep veins of hand
Superficial and deep palmar venous arches) draining the hand form paired radial and ulnar veins
Brachial veins
Paired veins that travels with the brachial artery in the upper arm
Axillary vein
Single vein
Where does axillary vein begin
Where the basilic vein joins brachial veins in upper arm and terminates beneah clavicle at outer border of first rib
what does the axillary receive near termination?
Cephalic vein
Subclavian vein
Continuation of the ailary vein
Where does the subclavian vein go?
Extends from outer borer of the first rib to inner end of the clavicle, where it joins the internal jugular vein to form the innominate vein
where does the subclavian lie
Beneath the clavicle and is inferior and anterior to subclavian artery
Right and left innominate veins join to form
Superior vena cava
right innominate vein reieves
right vertebral
internal mammary
inferior thryoid
left innominate vein
Longer than the right vein
what is the primary route of drainage in the upper etremity
Superficial venous system
Where is the superficial venous system
