Q

pair of deep veins that accompanies and surrounds a specific arteries of Dorsalis Pedis, Antitibial, Posterior Tibial

Study These Flashcards
A

VENA COMITANTES (of Dorsalis Pedis, Antitibial, Posterior Tibial arteries)

25
1st unpair/single deep vein which accompanies Popliteal Artery behind the knee and change to femoral vein at opening of adductor magnus.
POPLITEAL VEIN
26
begins at opening of adductor magnus. Used for drainage. Carries blood from thigh to heart. Moves superiorly
RIGHT FEMORAL VEIN
27
comes from femoral vein accompanies artery of same name, unites with internal iliac vein to form right common iliac vein
RIGHT EXTERNAL ILIAC VEIN
28
accompanies artery of same name, drains from right gluteal region. Unites with external iliac to form common iliac
RIGHT INTERNAL ILIAC VEIN
29
forms from uniting of the external and internal iliac veins. Left common is longer than right because it crosses under descending abdominal aorta
RIGHT COMMON ILIAC
30
formed by union of right and left common iliac veins. Larges vein of human body. Lies laterally and to right of descending aorta. Will drain blood from lower extremities and abdomen. **only used for drainage in non autopsy infant cases.
IVC INFERIOR VENA CAVA
31
TRIBUTARIES OF IVC | all empty into IVC
1. LUMBAR 2. RIGHT RENAL VEIN 3. LEFT RENAL VEIN  LEFT GONADIAL VEIN (TESTICULAR/OVARIAN)  LEFT SUPERENAL GLAND VEIN 4. RIGHT GONADIAL (TESTICULAR/OVARIAN) 5. INFERIOR PHRENIC VEIN 6. HEPATIC 7. RIGHT SUPERENAL VEIN
32
4 pairs; 1st tributary to drain blood from lumbar arteries
LUMBAR
33
drains right kidney into IVC
RIGHT RENAL VEIN
34
drains left kidney into IVC, crosses over abdominal aorta so it is longer than right
LEFT RENAL VEIN
35
drains blood from reproductive gonads into Tributary to Left Renal Vein.
LEFT GONADIAL VEIN (TESTICULAR/OVARIAN)
36
1st vein to drain left suprarenal gland; drain into Tributary of Left Renal Vein
LEFT SUPRARENAL VEIN
37
drains directly into IVC
RIGHT GONADIAL (TESTICULAR/OVARIAN)
38
drains blood from under surface of diaphragm directly into IVC
INFERIOR PHRENIC VEIN
39
most superior tributary of the IVC. Drains from liver directly into IVC just above right superenal vein
HEPATIC
40
1st vein to drain blood from right adrenal gland; drains directly into IVC
RIGHT SUPRARENAL VEIN
41
DRAINAGE OF THORACIC CAVITY: | AZYGOS SYSTEM
AZYGOS VEIN HEMIAZYGOS VEIN ACCESSORY HEMIAZYGOS VEIN
42
group of veins that drains blood from thoracic cavity, no artery counterpart
AZYGOS SYSTEM
43
drains into SVC; only single vein to drain blood from right side of thoracic cavity; intercostal spaces drains only by means of azygos. It is a continuation of the right and left ascending lumbar veins
AZYGOS VEIN
44
left side, first vein to drain blood from left intercostals spaces 8-12, this drains directly into azygos vein.
HEMIAZYGOS VEIN
45
first single vein to drain blood from intercostals spaces 4-7, empties into hemiazygos vein. *left intercostals spaces 1-3 typically empty into left braciocaphalic vein
ACCESSORY HEMIAZYGOS VEIN
46
VEINS OF THE SKULL | drainage of blood from skull
Brain Tissue Itself: DURAL VENUS SINUS ``` Face and Scalp: FACIAL VEIN POSTERIOR AURICULAR VEIN RETROMANDIBULAR VEIN EXTERIOR JUGULAR ```
47
all veins that drain blood from all of inside skull – gravity drains or feeds these into the internal jugular vein
DURAL VENUS SINUS
48
first vein to drain blood to those areas fed by facial arteries; cheeks, lips, nose, mouth and eyelids
FACIAL VEIN
49
behind ear. 1st to drain blood to those areas fed by posterior auricular arteries and occipital arteries
POSTERIOR AURICULAR VEIN
50
Located behind lower jaw. 1st vein to drain blood from those areas fed by maxillary and superficial temporal arteries; no arterial counterpart.
RETROMANDIBULAR VEIN
51
drain blood from outside of scalp; formed by union of posterior auricular and retromandibular
EXTERIOR JUGULAR
52
drain blood from inside of skull into right braciocaphalic; formed by union of facial vein & retromandibular
INTERNAL JUGULAR
53
PORTAL SYSTEM: | Veins draining blood from digestive organs to liver; starts & ends with capillaries
SPLENIC VEIN SUPERIOR MESENTERIC VEIN PORTAL VEIN INFERIOR MESENTERIC VEIN
54
1st vein to drain blood from stomach, spleen or pancreas.
SPLENIC VEIN
55
1st vein to drain blood from right half of the large intestine including the small intestine, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, and appendix.
SUPERIOR MESENTERIC VEIN
56
unpair/single vein formed by union of splenic vein by super mesenteric vein
PORTAL VEIN
57
1st vein to drain blood from left half of large intestine; rectum, anal canal, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
INFERIOR MESENTERIC VEIN
58
capillaries of liver
HEPATIC SINUSOIDS
