Q

If you want to cut off blood supply to the Upper Extremity, where can you not put a ligature due to the Scapular Anastomosis?

A

Between the Thyrocervical Trunk and the Subscapular Artery

The blood can flow around the scapula and feed into the Brachial Artery from there.

23
Q

When the Radial Artery ducks under the Thumb, what structure does it pass through?

A

The Anatomical Snuffbox

24
Q

On the Dorsal side, what two Arteries come off of the Radial artery when it ducks behind the Thumb?

A

Dorsalis Pollicis

1st Dorsal Metacarpal Artery

25
Q

The First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery comes off of the Radial Artery. What structure gives rise to the 2nd through 4th?

A

The Dorsal Carpal Arch

26
Q

What two oddly named Arteries of the Thumb does the Radial Artery make?

Which one is Dorsal, and which one is Palmar?

31
Q

What supplies the medial side of the 5th Digit?

A

The medial Proper Palmar Digital Artery of the 5th Digit

The pinky does not get a medial Dorsal Digital Arteries

32
Q

If the Superficial Palmar Arterial Arch was blocked, how might the Palmar side of the Digits receive blood?

A

Blood can flow from the Deep Palmar Arterial Arch through the Palmar Metacarpal Arteries into the Common Palmar Digital Arteries

33
Q

Where might one find the Cephalic Vein?

A

On the lateral side of the Upper Extremity, crossing the head of the Humerus and joining in with the Scapula.

34
Q

Where might one find the Median Cubital Vein?

What two Veins does it connect?

A

In the Antecubital Fossa

The Cephalic and Basilic Vein

35
Q

What is the Axillary Vein emptied into by?

When does it become the Subclavian Vein?

A

Brachial Veins (Veins of the Brachial Arteries), Cephalic Vein and Basilic Vein

When it passes the First Rib

36
Q

What makes the Median Cubital Vein such a good site for Venipuncture?

A

Because of the protective nature of the Bicipital Aponeurosis.

37
Q

What is the clinical importance of Axillary Lymph Nodes?

A

They are frequently invaded by cancer cells.
