27
Q

Radial artery terminate as

A

Deep palmar arch

Supplies palmar metacarpal arteries princeps policis artery and radial indices artery

28

Superficial palmar arch is anastomsosis betwen

A

Continuation of ulnar artery

Superficial palmar branch of radial artery

29
Q

Venous drainage of upper limbs

A

Cephalic thumb
Basilic
Median cubital
Median vein

30
Q

Pulses can be felt

A

Brachial artery in mid shift of humerus
Median cubital vein in cubital fossa
Radial artery on wrist

31
Q

Venipunctuee

A

Cubital fossa
Median cubital vein

Cephalic and basilic also used

32
Q

Major arterial supply to lower limb and consequence

A

Femoral artery

Risk of arteriosclerosis

33
Q

Abdominal aorta terminates into

A

Left and right common iliac arteries - each gives rise to external and internal iliac arteries

34
Q

External iliac artery branches into

A

Femoral artery and profunda femoris artery which supply hip joints, thighs, legs and feet

35
Q

Internal iliac artery branches into

A

Superior and inferior gluteal arteries

And internal pudenal artery

36
Q

What do the superior and inferior gluteal arteries supply

A

Enter via greater sciatic foramen

Supply buttocks and take part in anastomoses around the hip

37
Q

Femoral artery branches

A

Common femoral
Superficial femoral
Profunda femoris

Anterior tibial
Dorsalis pedis

Posterior popliteal
Tibial
Fibular
Medial and lateral plantaris

38
Q

When does femoral artery enter femoral triangle

A

Under inguinal ligament at mid inguinal point

39
Q

Femoral triangle contains

A

Femoral nerve artery and vein

40
Q

Femoral triangle boundaries

A

Inguinal ligament at base
Sartorius muscle laterally
Adductor longus muscle medially

Femoral nerve lateral
Femoral artery middle
Femoral vein medial

Femoral sheath encloses femoral artery and vein not nerve

41
Q

What is the adductors canal

A

Area in thigh distal to femoral triangle and deep to sartorius where neurovascular bundle traverses middle 1/3 of thigh.

Groove between vastus medialis and initially adductor longus then Magnus and overlain by fascia and sartorius

42
Q

Femoral artery continues as

A

Superficial femoral and also gives the superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac and deep superficial external pudendals

43
Q

What does femoral artery pass through

A

Adductor hiatus under adductor Magnus muscle

(Therefore is deepest structure in popliteal fossa)

Only femoral artery and vein pass through hiatus to enter popliteal fossa

44
Q

Obturator supplies

A

Acetabulum
Hip adductors
Knee
Skin of medial thigh

Anastomoses with branches from profunda femoris

Passes through obturator canal to divide into anterior and posterior branches that runs either side of the adductor brevis

45
Q

Supply to femoral head

A

Derived from circumflex femoral (profunda femoris) and obturator arteries

Retinacular vessels over head and blood supply to femoral head compromised if fracture of femoral head

46
Q

Popliteal artery ends as

A

Posterior and anterior tibial arteries

47
Q

Popliteal artery gives rise to

A

5 genicular branches that anastomoses with themselves

48
Q

Popliteal branches supply

A

Hamstring
Gastrocnemius
Soleus
Plantaris muscles

49
Q

What’s an aneurysm

A

Can form at popliteal and may be compromised in dislocation of knee and fractures below femur

50
Q

What artery supplies anterior compartment muscles of leg

Dorsiflexiors

A

Anterior tibial artery

51
Q

What supplies muscles of posterior compartment of leg (plantar flexors)

A

Posterior tibial artery

Gives off fibular
Circumflex fibular
Nutrient arteries

52

What supplies the dorsum of foot with blood

A

Dorsalis pedis

Branches are lateral tarsal

53
Q

What supplies sole of foot

A

Medial and lateral plantar arteries

Along with branches
Superficial and deep plantar arches
Which give rise to the plantar digital arteries of phalanges

54
Q

Where is dorsalis pedis pulse taken

A

Between EDL and EHL tendons

55
Q

Where do superficial veins arise from

A

Ascend in subcutaneous tissue originating from dorsal venous arch of foot and dorsal veins of foot

56
Q

Great saphenous vein

A

Enters fascia lata to join femoral vein

57
Q

Small saphenous vein

A

Penetrates deep fascia of leg between the heads of gastrocnemius muscle and merges to form

Popliteal vein

58
Q

What happens if venous drainage flows backwards

A

Leads t varicose veins

59
Q

Deep veins

A

Ascend internal to deep fascia of lower limb

Communicate with superficial veins via perforating veins
