New cards

The right side of the heart contains what type of blood from the body traveling to the lungs?

deoxygenated

2
New cards

The left side of the heart takes what type of blood from the lungs to the rest of the body?

oxygenated

3
New cards

When the blood is deoxygenated it is moving from ..... to ...... from.....

superior/inferior vena cavas TO

pulmonary artery FROM heart

4
New cards

Oxygenated blood is moving from.... to ...... from.....

pulmonary vein TO heart

aorta FROM heart

5
New cards

Why are arteries thicker than veins?

They are under constant pressure from the heart and blood flow, so they need to be strong enough to hold against the pressure, they contain muscles

6
New cards

What are the 3 branches of the aortic arch?

1. brachiocephalic artery

2. left common carotid

3. left subclavian artery

7
New cards

Where do the branches of arterys come off of on the heart?

the aortic arch

8
New cards

What is the division of the left subclavian artery?

left vertebral and axillary

9
New cards

What is the division of the brachiocephalic artery?

carotid, subclavian

10
New cards

When an axillary artery passes the ....... muscle it becomes the brachial artery?

tendon of the teres major

11
New cards

When the brachial artery passes through the elbow crease, it breaks into what arteries?

ulnar and radial arteries

12
New cards

What is a collateral artery?

branches from other arteries, typically rejoins w/ other arteries distally

13
New cards

What is a recurrent artery?

branches & turns around to direct blood flow in the opposite direction. Hooks a U turn

14
New cards

What are interosseus arteries?

arteries that supply the muslces of the forearm

15
New cards

The brachial artery supplies theses muslces: (3)

biceps brachii, triceps brachii, coracobrachialis

16
New cards

The anterior ulnar recurrent artery supplies these 3 areas:

elbow, pronator teres, brachialis

17
New cards

The elbow, forearm flexors is supplied by this artery

posterior ulnar recurrent artery

18
New cards

The deep anterior forearm is supplied by this artery

anterior interosseous artery

19
New cards

The posterior interosseous artery supplies this:

deep posterior forearm

20
New cards

The radial recurrent artery supplies these 2 muscles

brachioradialis, brachialis

21
New cards

What forms the four arterial arches of the hand?

palmar carpal, dorsal carpal, deep palmar, superficial palmar

22
New cards

Palmar capral and dorsal capral arterial arches are deep or superficial?

superficial

23
New cards

Which arterial arch in the hand is mostly radial artery?

Deep Palmar arch

24
New cards

Which artery arch supplies intrinsic hand muslces ?

Deep Palmar arch

25
New cards

Which artery arch in the hand supplies the thenar muslces & intrinsic hand muslces?

superficial palmar arch

26
New cards

Which arterial arch in the hand is mostly ulnar artery?

Superficial palmar arch

27
New cards

Which vein is mostly used for blood draws?

Median antebrachial / median cubital vein

28
New cards

What are the 3 deep veins in the arm?

Radial, ulnar, palmar venous arches

29
New cards

Median cubital vein is considered deep or superificial?

superficial

30
New cards

Radial vein is a deep vein that runs alongside this superficial vein?

Cephalic

31
New cards

Basilic is a superficial vein that runs alongside this deep vein?

Ulnar

32
New cards

The radial vein is deep to what vein?

Median cubital vein in the cubital fossa

33
New cards

Blood pressure is measured via what artery? placed where?

Brachial , just above antecubital fossa

34
New cards

Radial arteries can be used for blood pressure, but why wouldn't you want to?

it is further down the artery track, so if the patient has blood flow concerns you wouldn't get the best reading of their BP , so it could be weaker

35
New cards

When you want a pulse rate via at the wrist, what type of pulse is that?

radial pulse, at the radial artery

36
New cards

When there is a cuff on the arm to take a pulse, what artery are you using?

Brachial pulse on the brachial artery

37
New cards

BP cuff for pulse IS NOT good when a patient has this condition?

AFib

38
New cards

What vein should NOT be used for blood draws & why?

basilic vein, it lies close to the brachial nerve/artery

39
New cards

What is a lesser common vein to draw blood from but can be used?

Cephalic vein , it just rolls around

40
New cards

What veins does a PICC line go into usually?

basilic, brachial, cephalic

41
New cards

PICC lines are high risk for infection, why?

They are inserted in veins, so the infection can travel directly to the heart...

42
New cards

Central lines are inserted in what veins?

Internal jugular

43
New cards

Ports are inserted in what veins & why do they use ports?

subclavian, to recieve chemo/antibotics, longterm medicine

44
New cards

What is the most common site for lines & drains on the artery side?

Radial artery in the wrist

45
New cards

If an arterial line pulls out of someone, what is the danger?

blood spewing everywhere on that bih

46
New cards

What is a AV fistula? What is it used for?

Connect an artery & a vein to create a larger area to stick w/ lines/needles. It is used for dialysis uslally

47
New cards

What are the 2 arteries/veins preferred for an AV fistula?

radiocephalic, brachiocephalic

48
New cards

What is the purpose of an LVAD?

help stimulate left ventricle to send blood out arteries , short term waiting for new heart

49
New cards

Who died because his girlfriend cut his LVAD wire?

Denny :(

50
New cards

What is an IABP?

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump

51
New cards

When someone has an IABP what controls the heart rhythm?

the balloon inside the heart is connected to the machine outside the body, that pumps it according to their rhythm

52
New cards

What does ECMO stand for and what does it do?

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Insert a tube in the body that connects to a pump/oxygenator that pumps the body through the body. The heart DOES NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL.

53
New cards

Veno-Venous Cannulation follows what rotation?

PUmps blood from femoral artery, to the 'heart' (pump), then to the oxygenator machine, then to the internal jugular then to hte right atrium of heart

54
New cards

Veno-arterial Cnnulation follows what rotation?

starts at femoral vein, goes to pump, then oxygenator, then femoral arterys

55

New cards

The left collecting duct of the lymphatic system drains where?

Lower body, rest of the thorax

57
New cards

Define lymph?

leadked fluid from capillaries that is not reabsorbed

58
New cards

Define lymphatic vessels?

one way, valve vessel that transport lymph through nodes en route to collecting ducts

59
New cards

Define lymph nodes?

Glads that filter lymph, support immune health

60
New cards

Define lymphatic ducts

all lymph vessels drain into, fluid goes to the subclavian veins and returns to system
