Thoracic Limb Arteries Flashcards
external thoracic A
may arise from common trunk of axillary A with lateral thoracic A or from the deltoid branch of the superficial cervical A
lateral thoracic A
runs caudally along dorsal border of deep pectoral M ventral to latissmus dorsi M
subscapular A
caudodorsally between subscapularis and teres major Mm
thoracodorsal A
on deep surface of latissimus dorsi
caudal circumflex humeral A
corsues laterally between the head of the humerus and the teres major M
cranial circumflex humeral A
from axillary A distal or proximal to the subscapular A
brachial A
continuation of the axillary A
deep brachial A
to muscles of the caudal brachium; may come off the median A; can be more than one; variable
biciptial A
enters the biceps brachii M
collateral ulnar A
caudal branch in distal third of arm; follows the ulnar N
superficial brachial A
loops around cranial surface of distal biceps brachii
common interossous A
short; passes to proximal part of the interosseus space then divides
ulnar A
curses caudally and continues distally with ulnar N
caudal interossous A
lies between apposed surfaces of the radius and ulna
cranial interosseous A
through proximal part of the interosseous space cranially
