(27 cards)
regions of the arm
axilla arm elbow forearm wrist hand
regions of the leg
inguinal thigh knee leg ankle foot
deep fascia of the arm
pectoral
deltoid
brachial
antebrachial
deep fascia of the leg
fascia lata -thigh
crural fascia - lower
what is the fascia lata lateral aspect called
iliotibial tract
describe flow of arterial blood to hand
subclavian artery axillary brachial bifurcate to radial and ulnar deep (radial) and superficial (ulnar) palmar metacarpal and digital
describe arterial supply to lower limb
external iliac femoral (deep fem to thigh) poplital birfurcate to anterior and posterior tibial dorsalis pedis medial and lateral plantar arcuate anddeep plantar arch metatarsal and digital
true/false - in lower limb if an artery becomes occluded there is a collateral
false
name essential peripheral artery pulses
carotid radial femoral popliteal posterior tibial dorsalis pedis
describe travel of cephalic vein and is it superficial/deep?
superficial
travels from dorsal venous network on lateral arm pass medial cubital to axillary vein and to subclavian
describe travel of basilic vein and is it superficial/deep?
superficial travels from dorsal venous network on medial arm pass medial cubital to brachial vein and to axillary and subclavian
describe drainage of superficial and deep palmar venous arches and is it superficial/deep?
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
describe travel of great saphenous vein and is it superficial/deep?
superficial
origin dorsal venous arch
travels along medial limb to femoral vein, drains to external iliac
describe travel of lesser/short saphenous vein and is it superficial/deep?
superficial
origin dorsal venous arch
travels up posterior midline leg and drains to popliteal vein, onto femoral vein and then external iliac
describe drainage of plantar arch and is it superficial/deep?
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
what are vena comitantes
veins accompanying the surface of arteries to allow pulsation to carry blood back to the heart
what do superficial lymphatics of the upper limb follow
cephalic and basilic veins
where do deep lymphatics of the upper limb drain to, and where do they drain to
axillary lymph nodes, draining to subclavian lymphatics
where do lymphatics following the GSV go
superficial inguinal nodes, then onto deep inguinal or external iliac
where do lymphatics following LSV go
popliteal lymph nodes, then to deep inguinal then external iliac
where do deep lymphatics drain
to popliteal then to deep inguinal then to external iliac
where do external iliac nodes drain to
common iliac nodes then lumbar lymphatics
describe formation of venous ulceration
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
in what condition is venous ulceration and DVT more common in
varicose veins
