34
T/F the gastrocnemius a is often used in balloon angioplasty
false
35
in a bypass graft reverse flow is detected in teh artery just proximal to the distal anastmosis. Explain:
normal finding, because blood moves from higher pressure of the graft to the lower pressure of the diseased native vessels.

37
T/F the ICA has only one branch
false
38
what is the carotid siphon
the curve of the ICA near the take off of the ophthalmic a.
39
the basilar a differs from most arteries in that it is fromed by two ____
arteries.
40
are the vertebrals symmetrical or asymmetrical?
asymmetrical.
41
T/F the anterior choroidal arteries are in the circle of willis
false
42
T/T the distal internal carotid arteries are in the circle of willis
true
43
name the 3 major branches of the ophthalmic artery that exits the orbit
supraorbital, frontal, and nasal
44
Bernoullis principle expains which phenomenon of the carotid bulb
areas of flow separation
45
according to poiseuilles law which factor has the most dramatic effecto on blood flow
radius of the vessel
46
T/F Laminal flow can resume distal to a stenosis
true
47
T/F flow remains accelerated distal to a stenosis
false
48
the cause of a right hemispheric infarction
may be right ICA occlusion
49
During a periorbital exam flow diminishes in the left frontal artey when the left superficial temporal artey is compressed meaning
it signifies a left ICA stenosis
50
``` a false negatice OPG-GEE can be attributed to all the following except: A) bilateral ICA stenosis B)well developed collateral channels C) subcritical stenoses D) acute occlusion ```
D
51
one difference between continuous wave and pulsed doppler is CW cannot sample a _______ ______
specific point

66
``` the return of venous flow from the lower extremity to the heart is assisted by all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT: A) venous valves B) calf muscle C) expiration D) inspiration ```
D
67

69
most important criteria fro correctly identifing a deep vein is:
an adjacent artery
70
a continuous wave doppler venous study can be falsely negitive for what reasons

74
limitiation in utilizing PPG for venus reflux studies
pt has acute DVT, Sensor is placed on a varicosity, nonintact skin.
