Term
right side
Definition
does the right side or left side of the body have to go through the brachiocephalic trunk for the blood flow to the upper limbs?
Term
anterior and posterior circumflex humeral artery
Definition
what two non-terminal arteries branch off of the axillary artery?
Term
the anterior/posterior circumflex humeral artery and the axillary nerve
Definition
what two arteries and one nerve are at the surgical neck of the humerus?
Term
deep brachial artery
Definition
what non-terminal artery branches off the brachial artery?
Term
deep brachial artery and the radial nerve
Definition
what artery and what nerve are found at the radial (spiral) groove
Term
profunda brachii artery
Definition
what is another name for the deep brachial artery?
Term
ulnar nerve
Definition
the common interosseus artery, whose branches supply those muscles that arise from the anterior and posterior surface of the interosseus, branches off of what nerve?
Term
where the radial artery lies on the anterior surface of the distal end of the radius
Definition
where is the most common place for measuring the pulse rate?
Term
superficial and deep palmar arches
Definition
created through branches of the radial and ulnar arteries (arterial anastomosis)
Term
vascular anastomoses
Definition
where vascular channels unite or join
Term
arterial anastomoses
Definition
different arteries serving the same territory will often merge; union of branches of two or more arteries supplying the same body region
Term
venous anastomoses
Definition
very abundant; interconnection of more than one vein draining the same tissue area
Term
anastomoses
Definition
can allow for blood supply or drainage to continue through
Term
anastomoses
Definition
can allow for blood supply or drainage to continue through the collateral circulation (or alternate pathways)
Term
venae comitantes
Definition
paired vains
Term
superficial veins
Definition
these veins originate from the venous anastomoses on the dorsum of the hand
Term
1. cephalic vein
2. basilic vein
Definition
what are the 2 types of superficial veins?
Term
cephalic vein
Definition
travels on the lateral side of forearm and arm; drains into axillary vein just inferior to the clavicle
Term
basilic vein
Definition
travels on medial side of forearm and arm; when traveling through the arm, it dives deep to join the brachial venae comitantes to from the axillary vein
Term
median cubital vein
Definition
connection between the basilic and cephalic veins; lies anterior to the cubital fossa and the bicipital aponeurosis; commonly used for venipuncture
Term
cephalic vein
Definition
runs through the deltopectoril groove (between deltoid and pectoralis major)
Term
brachial artery
Definition
this artery supplies oxygenated blood to muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm
Term
1. trapezius- superior border
2. medial border of scapula- lateral border
3. latissimus dorsi- inferior border
Definition
what are the 3 borders of the triangle of ausculatation?
Term
trapezius
Definition
superior border of the triangle of auscultation
Term
medial border of scapula
Definition
lateral border of the triangle of auscultation
Term
latissimus dorsi
Definition
the inferior border of the triangle of auscultation
Term
1. brachioradialis - lateral border
2. pronator teres - medial border
3. line between epicondyles of humerus - superior border

what are the 3 borders of the cubital fossa?
Term
brachioradialis
Definition
lateral border of the cubital fossa
Term
pronator teres
Definition

Term
line between epicondyles of humerus
Definition
the superior border of the cubital fossa
Term

3. median nerve
(TAN)
Definition
from lateral to medial the cubital fossa contains:

what are the 2 muscles that make up the floor of the cubital fossa?
Term
tendons of abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB)
Definition
what is the anterior border of the anatomical snuff box?
Term
tendon of extensor pollicis longus (EPL)

what makes up the posterior border of the anatomical snuff box?
Term
scaphoid and trapezium
Definition
what two wrist bones make up the floor of the anatomical snuff box
Term
radial artery
Definition
what artery goes through the anatomical snuff box?
