Week 9 - Lesson 1 (Part 2)

Question 1

Where do anterior tibial veins arise from?

Answer 1

From the arch and accompany the anterior tibial artery

Question 2

Where does the anterior tibial vein travel?

Answer 2

Rise up the calf from the anterior compartment and course between the tibia and fibula

Question 3

What veins unite to form a singular anterior tibial trunk?

Answer 3

.

Question 4

What does the artery trunk unite with to form the popliteal vein?

Answer 4

Posterior tibial-peroneal trunk

Question 5

Where does the posterior tibial vein arise from?

Answer 5

The arch

Question 6

Where does the posterior tibial vein course?

Answer 6

Coursing posterior to the tibia

Question 7

Where does the posterior tibial vein rise up from to form?

Answer 7

Up the calf to form common tibial trunk

Question 8

Where does the peroneal vein arise from compared to the lateral malleolus of the ankle?

Answer 8

Medial

Question 9

What does the peroneal vein follow?

Answer 9

The medial surface of fibula, then course medially to form the common peroneal trunk in upper third of calf

Question 10

What 2 things converge to form the tibioperoneal trunk?

Answer 10

1. Common tibial trunk

2. Common peroneal trunk

Question 11

What drains the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles?

Answer 11

Soleal sinuses and gastrocnemius veins

Question 12

Are the soleal sinuses and gastrocnemius veins superficial or deep?

Answer 12

Deep

Question 13

What does the gastrocnemius veins join up with before dumping into the popliteal vein?

Answer 13

Common trunk

Question 14

What is unique about the soleus sinus? (2)

Answer 14

1. It doesnt have arteries to accompany them

2. Capable of enlarging and drain into the posterior tibial and peroneal veins

Question 15

What does venous sinuses act as?

Answer 15

A reservoir and are an important part of the calf muscle pump

Question 16

What are the typical causes of pain in the calf?

Answer 16

Soleal sinus and gastrocnemius vein

Question 17

What does the common tibial-peroneal trunk and the anterior tibial trunk converge to form?

Answer 17

The popliteal vein

Question 18

How many bicuspid valves do the calf veins contain?

Answer 18

6-12

Question 19

What do valves promote? (2)

Answer 19

1. Unidirectional flow

2. Regulate venous pressure in distal lower extremity

Question 20

What causes the valves to open? (2)

Answer 20

1. Walking
   - muscles contraction/movement
2. Expiration

Question 21

What are the deep veins? (5)

Answer 21

1. External iliac vein
2. Common femoral
3. Deep femoral vein
4. Superficial femoral vein
5. Popliteal vein

Question 22

What does the popliteal vein form into?

Answer 22

The femoral vein

- superficial

Question 23

In the popliteal fossa, where does the popliteal vein extend?

Answer 23

Cephalad to the medial aspect of femur

Question 24

What does the popliteal vein pass through?

Answer 24

Adductor hiatus

- hunter’s canal

Question 25

What does the popliteal vein become once it passes through the hunters canal?

Answer 25

Femoral vein

Question 26

What can happen to the popliteal vein?

Answer 26

It can be duplicated

Question 27

How many valves does the popliteal vein have?

Answer 27

3-4

Question 28

Where does the short saphenous vein run?

Answer 28

Posterior to the calf muscles

Question 29

Is the short saphenous vein superficial or deep?

Answer 29

Superficial

Question 30

What are 2 other names for the short saphenous vein?

Answer 30

1. Small saphenous | 2. Lesser saphenous

Question 31

At what level does the short saphenous dumps into the popliteal vein?

Answer 31

Level of the crease

Question 32

Where does the gastrocnemius vein that drains the calf muscles dumps into?

Answer 32

Just inferior to the short saphenous vein
