blood vessels to the upper and lower limbs

Question 1

arterial supply towards finger

Answer 1

subclavian becomes axillary at first rib. axillary turns into brachial, and brachial branches into ulnar and radial arteries

Question 2

ulnar artery

Answer 2

supplies medial muscles of anterior forearm. terminates as deep and superficial as ulnar palmar arches

Question 3

radial artery

Answer 3

runs along cubital fossa along lateral forearm and supplies lateral forearm muscles

Question 4

deep veins

Answer 4

follow arteries

Question 5

vena comitantes

Answer 5

2 or more veins that wrap around an artery

Question 6

deep veins path to heart from fingers

Answer 6

1.)proper palmer digital > common palmar digital > superficial palmar venous arch > ulnar vein
2.) right palmar metacarpal > deep palmar venous arch >
radial vein
(both ulnar and radial veins drain into brachial veins)

Question 7

superficial veins path to heart

Answer 7

1.)basilic vein (medial side of arm) > axillary vein
2.)cephalic vein (lateral side of arm) joins axillary at shouler
median cubital vein at elbow is connection between these two superficial veins (used for blood draws)

Question 8

aorta to femoral artery

Answer 8

descending aorta to common iliac artery. common iliac divides into internal external iliac. external iliac supplies blood to remainder of lower limbs and becomes femoral artery. the internal iliac supplies blood to pelvis and gluteal regions

Question 9

gluteal arteries

Answer 9

superior gluteal inferior gluteal and obturator artery

Question 10

femoral artery to the tibial arteries

Answer 10

femoral branches to deep artery of the thigh which becomes the popliteal behind knee and popliteal becomes anterior tibial and posterior tibial artery

Question 11

anterior tibial artery

Answer 11

1.)anterior tibial continues as dorsalis pedis artery and branches into anterior lateral/medial malleloar arteries. lateral joins fibular and anterior joins tibular

Question 12

posterior tibular artery

Answer 12

supplies posterior leg and foot and gives rise to the fibular artery quickly. in the foot gives rise to medial/lateral plantar

Question 13

dorsalis pedis artery gives rise …

Answer 13

to the lateral and medial tarsal arteries which supply the tarsals, the arcuate artery which gives rise to dorsal meta tarsal arteries and supplies blood flow to meta tarsals and digits

Question 14

first dorsal metatarsal artery

Answer 14

supplies first metatarsal and great toe

Question 15

deep plantar artery

Answer 15

goes to plantar surface of foot

Question 16

posterior tibial path to foot

Answer 16

goes to lateral plantar which branches into plantar arch and joins deep plantar artery. also goes to medial plantar

Question 17

superficial veins of the legs

Answer 17

1. )great saphenous which originates from great toe from dorsal venous arch and goes anterior to medial malleolus. medial side of lower limb. drains into femoral vein
2. ) small saphenous which starts along lateral foot and runs on the posterior leg and drains into popliteal vein
