Term
At what level does the descending abdominal aorta biforcates into right and left common iliac arteries?
Definition
L4 (lumbar 4)
Term
the left and right internal iliac arteries will go down into where?
Definition
the pelvis
Term
which artery is deep to the inguinal ligament (border between trunk and lower limbs)?
Definition
external iliac artery
Term
when the external iliac artery emerges from the inguinal ligament, what is its new name?
Definition
femoral artery
Term
what artery and its branches will supply the majority of the thigh, all of the leg, and all of the foot?
Definition
femoral artery and its branches
Term
this artery goes into the pelvis, and has gluteal branches that go to the buttocks
Definition
internal iliac artery
Term
this artery supplies blood to the medial aspect of the thigh
Definition
obturator artery
Term
what is the order of the arteries from the left ventricle and the way to the femoral artery?
Definition
1) left ventricle
2) ascending aorta
3) arch of aorta
4) descending thoracic aorta
(diaphragm between here)
5) Descending Abdominal aorta
(L4)
6) common iliac artery (Right and left)
7) external iliac artery (right and left)
8) femoral artery
Term
a branch off of a main artery that doesn't end the artery
Definition
non-terminal artery
Term
what is the non-terminal branch off the femoral artery?
Definition
deep femoral artery
Term
an artery that ends because it branches off into two smaller arteries and they both get renamed
Definition
terminal arteries
Term
this artery branches off of the femoral artery dorsolaterally
Definition
deep femoral artery
Term
this artery supplies the posterior femoral muscles AKA posterior thigh muscles
Definition
deep femoral artery
Term
true or false, the femoral artery DOES NOT pass through the femoral triangle?
Definition
false
Term
as the femoral artery passes through the femoral triangle, and through the adductor canal, what opening does it go through?
Definition
adductor hiatus
Term
an opening in the adductor magnus muscle
Definition
adductor hiatus
Term
what is the femoral artery called after it passes through the adductor hiatus
Definition
popliteal artery
Term
when the popliteal artery reaches the border of the popliteaus muscle, what two arteries is the popliteal artery going to divide into? (these are terminal arteries)
Definition
1) anterior tibial artery
2) posterior tibial artery
Term
this artery passes in between the fibula and tibia
Definition
anterior tibial arter
Term
this artery supplies muscles in the anterior compartment of the LEG
Definition
anterior tibial artery
Term
this artery passes anterior to ankle joint and onto the DORSUM of the foot
Definition
anterior tibial artery
Term
as the anterior tibial nerve passes the ankle region, it becomes what new artery?
Definition
dorsalis pedis artery
Term
this artery supplies the skin, muscles, joints in the dorsal aspect of the foot; people check pulses here sometimes
Definition
dorsalis pedis artery
Term
what is a branch of the posterior tibial artery?
Definition
fibular artery (laterally)
Term
this artery runs posterior the the medial malleolus--will come down to PLANTAR surface aspect of the foot
Definition
posterior tibial artery
Term
what two branches does the posterior tibial artery divide into?
Definition
medial and lateral plantar branches
Term
what arteries branch off of the abdominal aorta?
Definition
the right and left common iliac arteries
Term
DRAW OUT THE PATH OF THE ARTERIES
Definition
Term
What are the two sets of veins?
Definition
1) deep veins
2) superficial veins
Term
which set of veins is almost similar to the path of the arteries?
Definition
deep veins
Term
what is the path of the deep veins?
Definition
both anterior and posterior tibial veins come together to make the popliteal vein--> that goes through adductor hiatus and becomes the femoral vein--> that goes deep to the inguinal ligament and becomes the external iliac vein--> gets together with internal iliac vein to make the common iliac vein--> left and right common iliac vein come together to form the INFERIOR VENA CAVA--> goes abdomen to diaphragm--> through thorax and dumps deoxygenated blood into the right atrium
Term
what are the 2 superficial veins?
Definition
1) great(er) saphenous vein
2) lesser (small) saphenous vein
Term
what is the largest vein in the human body?
Definition
greater saphenous vein
Term
this vein begins in the dorsum of foot and crosses anterior to medial malleous and ascends along medial aspect of leg and comes up medial aspect of thigh and will dump into the femoral vein
Definition
greater saphenous vein
Term
which vein comes all the way from the dorsum of the foot all the way up the leg and thigh and into the femoral vein?
Definition
greater saphenous vein
Term
this vein begins in the dorsum of the foot and goes superiorly along the lateral aspect of the leg and dumps into the popliteal fossa
Definition
lesser (small) saphenous vein
Term
one of the 2 superficial veins that will dump into the popliteal vein
Definition
lesser (small) saphenous vein
Term
TRACE THE 2 PATHWAYS OF THE VEINS
