blood vessels (arteries and veins) Flashcards
(7 cards)
what is the order from proximal to distal of the arteries and anatomical landmarks
Subclavian artery
First rib
Axillary artery
Location of teres major muscle
Brachial artery
Bifurcation within the cubital fossa
Ulnar artery
Radial artery
Palmar arches (superficial and deep)
at which anatomical landmark does the subclavian artery become the axillary artery
1st rib
at which anatomical landmark does the axillary artery become the brachial artery
teres major
where does the brachial artery bifurcate and what does it turn into
cubital fossa
ulna artery and radial artery
where is ulna artery
near 5th digit
where is radial artery
near thumb
what is the order of the veins in the upper limb
superficial and deep palmar venous arches - form ulnar and radial veins
ulnar and radial veins - unite in cubital fossa to form brachial veins
brachial veins - from cubital fossa to teres major
axillary veins - from teres major to 1st rib
subclavian vein - proximal to 1st rib
