Veins of Upper limb
veins of upper limb
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 2 main groups of veins | Superficial veins and Deep veins |
| What are the names of the Superficial veins? (5) | Cephalic veins, basilic vein, median antebrachial vein, dorsal digital veins, palmar digital veins |
| What is the difference between deep and superficial veins | Superficial veins lie in superficial fascia just under the skin Deep veins accompany the arteries |
| Vein that travels on the lateral aspect of upper limb and drains the dorsal venous network of the hand; receives accessory cephalic. As it ascends it travels through the deltopectoral triangle and terminates in the axillary vein | Cephalic Vein |
| Vein that travels on the medial aspect of upper limb and drains the dorsal venous network of the hand; receives medial cubital vein which communicates with the cephalic vein. Ends by joining the brachial veins to form the axillary vein | Basilic Vein |
| Where does the basilic vein end by joining the brachial veins to form the axillary vein? | Approx. the inferior border of teres major |
| vein that travels on anterior surface of forearm and drains the palmar surface of hand. It ends in the median cubital vein | Median Antebrachial vein |
| What 2 vessels does the median antebrachial vein divide in to | Cephalic vein and Basilic vein |
| vein that drains into the dorsal metacarpal veins-->cephalic and basilic veins | Dorsal Digital veins |
| vein that goes to palmar venous plexus-->median antebrachial vein | Palmar Digital Veins |
| Veins that usually follow the arteries and are in pairs, communicate at intervals, and are usually quite small | Deep Veins |
| Names of the deep veins (5) | Deep veins of the hand, Deep veins of forearm, Brachial veins, axillary vein, Subclavian Vein |
| Deep Veins that correspond to arteries and arches of hand | Deep veins of the hand |
| deep veins that are companions of the radial and ulnar arteries | Deep veins of Forearm |
| Deep veins that accompany thebrachial artery, join basilic to form axillary vein | Brachial Veins |
| Vein that begins at lower border of teres major muscle, ends at lateral border of 1st rib where it becomes the subclavian vein | Axillary Vein |
| What vein is the axillary vein primarily a continuation of? | Basilic vein |
| Deep vein from outer border of 1st rib, passes anterior to the anterior scalene muscle, thus is separated from the subclavian artery which lies posterior to anterior scalene muscle | Subclavian Vein |
| The subclavian vein joins the internal jugular vein to form what? | The brachiocephalic vein |
