Q

how does the body get around Subclavian steal syndrome?

A

Blood is ‘stolen’ from the circular vertebrobasilar system to supply the distal territory of the occluded or stenosed artery –> gives time for the blockage to be fixed

Q

what happens to the pressure of blood in the blocked subclavian artery aftery subclavian steal syndrome?

Q

what is the possibility of necrosis and loss of limb when there is ligation proximal to the profunda brachii artery

A

50% –> this is due to the fact there is no blood supply at all going to the arm –> no route for blood to go down

Q

what is the possibility of nerosis and loss of limb when there is ligation distal to the profunda brachii artery ?

A

25% –> this is because there is collateration between the profunda brachii artery and lower blood vessels that can deliver blood supply to the arm and forearm –> reduce the chance

24
Q

how is anastomosis of the medial side of the elbow joint formed?

A

superior and inferior ulna collateral arteries anastomose with the posterior and anterior recurrent arteries –> when there is compression of the brachial artery

25
Q

how is anastomosis of the lateral side of teh elbow joint formed?

A

between the radial collatery artery (branch of the profunda brachii) and the radial reccurent artery ( branch of the radial artery)

26
Q

what does the radial artery supply?

A

Supplies the anterolateral aspect of the forearm including flexors and extensors –> runs along the radial bone

27
Q

what does ulna artery supply?

A

Supplies the medial side of forearm – mainly flexors and pronators

28
Q

what branches come for the ulna artery?

A

Gives off common interosseous artery (trunk) near its origin.

29
Q

what does the common interosseous artery split into?

A

This divides into anterior and posterior interosseous arteries which supply the middle of the flexor and extensor compartments respectively.

30
Q

how is the superfecial palmer artery formed?

A

ulnar artery anastomoses with the superficial branch of the radial artery

31
Q

what structures are supplied by the radial artery?

A

Thumb and lateral half of the 2nd finer supplied by the radial artery

32
Q

how does the ulna artery enter the hand?

A

through the ulnar canal (Guyon’s canal) superficial to the flexor retinaculum

33
Q

how does the radial artery enter the palmar surface of the hand?

A

Passes dorsally and crosses the floor of the anatomical snuff box.
Pierces 1st dorsal interosseous muscle and passes between the transverse and oblique heads of adductor pollicis to enter the palmer surface of the hand.

34
Q

why is allen test done prior too?

A

before blood is taken from the radial artery for blood gases

35
Q

what is the allen test testing for?

A

determine whether the patency of the radial or ulnar artery is normal–> to make sure there is a superfecial palmar arch and therefore no blood clot will form by drawing blood

36
Q

what is the advantage of having a pulse point at the axillary artery?

A

Useful place to control blood flow to the upper limb in the event of injury to the brachial artery

37
Q

what are the two points of palpating the brachial artery?

A

can palpatate the artery in the cleft between the tricep brachii and bicep brachii
also palpatate at the cubital fossa –> medial to the tendons of bicep brachii

38
Q

how is ulna and radial artery palpated?

A

The radial and ulnar arteries can be palpated lateral to the tendons of flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris respectively.
Radial artery can also be palpated at the anatomical snuff box

39
Q

where does dorsal venous drainage begin?

A

with dorsal venous arch which receives blood from digits

40
Q

which veins drain from the dorsal venous arch on the lateral side?

A

Cephalic vein drains lateral side of dorsal venous arch

41
Q

which veins drain from the dorsal venous arch on the medial side?

A

Basilic vein drains medial side of dorsal venous arch

42
Q

what is the route of cephalic vein?

A

Runs through deltopectoral triangle
Pierces clavipectoral fascia
Drains into axillary vein

43
Q

where do you take venepuncture?

A

at the median cubital vein

44
Q

what structure connects the cephalic vein and the basilic vein?

A

the median cubital vein

45
Q

what is the positioning of the median cubital vein?

A

lies superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis –> above the cubital fossa

46
Q

What is the Venae Comitantes?

A

Two veins (sometimes more) that closely accompany an artery in such a manner that the pulsations of the artery aid venous return.

47
Q

in vena comitantes what is the structure that keeps the veins and arteries together?

A

vascular sheath

48
Q

At what point does the venae comitantes of the forearm stop?

A

when the brachial vein joins with the basilic vein at the axilia and forms the axiliary vein –> close to the heart now

49
Q

what branch does axillary vein recieve blood from?

A

the cephalic vein

50
Q

when does the axillary vein become the subclavian rein?

A

once it passess the clavicle

51
Q

what is the route from the subclavian vein to the heart?

A

the subclavian vein joins with the internal jugular vein to form brachiocephalic veins
The two brachiocephalic veins join to form the superior vena cava

52
Q

how is the axillary vein formed?

A

by the brachial venae commitantes and the basilic vein

53
Q

what is the route of the venea commitantes?

A

venea commitants drain blood accompanying the deeper and supperficial palmer arch to the vaena commitants accompanying the ulna and raidal artery. These venae commitants unite at the cubital fossae to form the brachial venae commitants.
this will join with the basilic vein at the axillia to form the axillary artery

54
Q

what is the route of the basilic vein?

A

drains the medial side of the foraearm , moves half way up the arm and then pierces deep to bind with deep veins and form the axillary vein

55
Q

what arch do the digits 2 1/2 to 5 recieve blood from?

A

the superfecial palmar artery so mainly from the ulna artery

56
Q

what arch do the digits 1 and 2 1/2 recieve blood from?

A

the deep palmar artery –> mainly radial artery

57
Q

which side of the digit has the more dominant artery?

A

the medial side of each digit

58
Q

which sides is the ulna and radial artery more dominant on?

A

the little finger –> medial –> ulna artery

the thumb –> lateral –> radial artery
