Q

Ligation of the axillary A between the thyrocervical trunk and subscapular A results in what?

A

A reversal of blood flow in the subscapular A due to collateral circulation arriving via suprascapular, transverse cervical and intercostal A to the scapular region and continued feed of arterial blood to the brachial A

24
Q

What are the two terminal branches of the brachial A?

A

Radial and ulnar A

25
Q

What does the deep brachial A run with?

A

Radial N

26
Q

What does the deep brachial A supply?

A

Posterior brachial muscles

27
Q

The deep brachial A terminates as two arteries that feed into what?

A

The elbow anastomosis including middle and radial collateral arteries

28
Q

What does the muscular branch of the brachial A supply?

A

Muscles of the anterior brachial compartment

29
Q

What does the ulnar branch of the brachial A supply?

A

Most of the flexor muscles of the forearm

30
Q

What are the branches of the thoracoacromial trunk?

A

Pectoral, deltoid, acromion and clavicular branches

31
Q

What does the anterior interosseous A (of common interosseous of brachial A) supply?

A

Sends perforating branches through the interosseous membrane to supply deep muscles of the posterior forearm

32
Q

Which arteries form the elbow anastomosis?

A

Superior and inferior ulnar collateral, middle collateral and radial collateral A

33
Q

The superior ulnar collateral A runs with which structure?

A

Ulnar N

34
Q

What does the radial collateral A anastomosis with?

A

Radial recurrent A of the radial A

35
Q

What does the middle collateral A anastomosis with?

A

Interosseous recurrent A of the ulnar A

36
Q

What does superior ulnar collateral A anastamosis with?

A

Posterior ulnar recurrent A of the ulnar A

37
Q

What does inferior ulnar collateral A anastomosis with?

A

Anterior ulnar recurrent A of the ulnar A

38
Q

What structure is the most common site for venipuncture?

A

Median cubital vein because of its superficial location and the protection of underlying deep structures by the bicipital aponeurosis

39
Q

Why are the axillary LNs important?

A

Due to their frequent invasion by cancer cells from elsewhere in the body (usually breast)

40
Q

What are the branches of the ulnar A?

A

Anterior and posterior ulnar recurrent A, common interosseous A (branches into posterior and anterior interosseous), palmar and dorsal carpal branch

41
Q

What forms the palmar carpal arch?

A

Palmar carpal branch of ulnar A travels anteriorly to the wrist and anastomoses with the palmar carpal branch of the radial A to form the palmar carpal arch

42
Q

What forms the dorsal carpal arch?

A

Dorsal carpal branch of ulnar and radial A + anterior interosseous A
Gives rise to four dorsal metacarpal arteries —> dorsal digital As

43
Q

What forms the deep palmar arch?

A

Mostly radial A with some contribution from ulnar A

44
Q

What forms the superficial palmar arterial arch?

A

Mostly the ulnar A with a small contribution from radial A

45
Q

What do the superficial and deep arches form?

A

Palmar Metacarpal As —> common palmar digital A —> proper palmar digital As

46
Q

What is the princeps pollicis A?

A

Branch from the deep palmar arterial arch that travels to the thumb on the palmar side of the hand
Can branch into radialis indicis which travels along the index finger on the radial side

47
Q

What branches does the radial A form when it goes posteriorly around the thumb on the dorsal side of the hand?

A

Dorsal pollicis and 1st dorsal metacarpal A

48
Q

What does the radial artery supply?

A

1/2 of index finger to thumb

Remainder is ulnar A

49
Q

What is the subclavian vein?

A

Continuation of the axillary V proximal to 1st rib

Forms the brachiocephalic vein with the internal jugular

50
Q

What is the axillary vein?

A

Formed in the medial brachium when the brachial veins unite with the superficial basilic vein
Branches into cephalic, brachial and basilic veins

51
Q

What is the dorsal venous network?

A

Superficial venous plexus on the dorsum of the hand

Feeds medially into the basilic vein and laterally into the cephalic vein

52
Q

What is the communication for basilic and cephalic veins?

A

Median cubital vein which is superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis

53
Q

Basilic vein forms what?

A

Forms the axillary vein by uniting with brachial veins

54
Q

What forms the brachial veins?

A

Deep veins of the UE including ulnar, radial, posterior interosseous and anterior interosseous veins

55
Q

Describe the cephalic vein

A

Drains into the dorsal venous network and traverses the clavipectoral triangle to empty into the axillary V
