radial 
femoral
popliteal
posterior tibial 
dorsalis pedis

Question 10

describe travel of cephalic vein and is it superficial/deep?

Answer 10

superficial

travels from dorsal venous network on lateral arm pass medial cubital to axillary vein and to subclavian

Question 11

describe travel of basilic vein and is it superficial/deep?

Answer 11

superficial travels from dorsal venous network on medial arm pass medial cubital to brachial vein and to axillary and subclavian

Question 12

describe drainage of superficial and deep palmar venous arches and is it superficial/deep?

Answer 12

deep
drained by radial and ulnar veins which drain to brachial vein, axillary vein, subclavian, merge with IJV to form brachiocephalic trunk and onto IVC

Question 13

describe travel of great saphenous vein and is it superficial/deep?

Answer 13

superficial
origin dorsal venous arch
travels along medial limb to femoral vein, drains to external iliac

Question 14

describe travel of lesser/short saphenous vein and is it superficial/deep?

Answer 14

superficial
origin dorsal venous arch
travels up posterior midline leg and drains to popliteal vein, onto femoral vein and then external iliac

Question 15

describe drainage of plantar arch and is it superficial/deep?

Answer 15

deep
drains to anterior and posterior tibial and fibial vein and onto popliteal vein, then femoral vein, merges with deep femoral and then merges with EIV, to common iliac to IVC

Question 16

what are vena comitantes

Answer 16

veins accompanying the surface of arteries to allow pulsation to carry blood back to the heart

Question 17

what do superficial lymphatics of the upper limb follow

Answer 17

cephalic and basilic veins

Question 18

where do deep lymphatics of the upper limb drain to, and where do they drain to

Answer 18

axillary lymph nodes, draining to subclavian lymphatics

Question 19

where do lymphatics following the GSV go

Answer 19

superficial inguinal nodes, then onto deep inguinal or external iliac

Question 20

where do lymphatics following LSV go

Answer 20

popliteal lymph nodes, then to deep inguinal then external iliac

Question 21

where do deep lymphatics drain

Answer 21

to popliteal then to deep inguinal then to external iliac

Question 22

where do external iliac nodes drain to

Answer 22

common iliac nodes then lumbar lymphatics

Question 23

describe formation of venous ulceration

Answer 23

venous pressure increases to damage blood vessels in skin
skin becomes dry, inflamed and itchy
skin cannot effectively heal due to poor blood supply
skin breaks down

Question 24

in what condition is venous ulceration and DVT more common in

Answer 24

varicose veins

Question 25

lymphatics following the basilic vein may enter what lymph nodes prior to axial?

Answer 25

cubital

Question 26

where does the great saphenous vein drain surface anatomy

Answer 26

femoral triangle

Question 27

if you were to try and find the great saphenous vein at the knee, where would you find it

Answer 27

1 handwidth away from the medial aspect of the knee
