New cards
most internal layer of arteries
tunica intima
2
New cards
middle layer of arteries
tunica media
3
New cards
external layer of arteries
tunica adventitia (externa)
4
New cards
arteries carry blood away from the _____
heart
5
New cards
arteries have ______ blood pressure
higher
6
New cards
arteries have thicker smooth muscle which allows arteries to _____ __or__ _______
vasoconstriction, vasodilation
7
New cards
veins carry blood ______ from heart
away
8
New cards
veins are
compressible
9
New cards
veins contain
valves
10
New cards
external iliac
becomes common femoral after passing under inguinal ligament
11
New cards
common femoral -cfa
located near medial groin
12
New cards
deep femoral -dfa-profunda
deep branch of the CFA in thigh
13
New cards
superficial femoral-sfa
superficial branch of the common femoral in the medial thigh- becomes popliteal artery after passing through adductor hiatus
14
New cards
popliteal artery
visualized posterior to the knee (artery)
15
New cards
anterior tibial- ata
first branch of the popliteal-travels down anterior calf lateral to the tibia (becomes dorsals pedis at anterior ankle)
16
New cards
peroneal
travels down posterior calf
17
New cards
posterior tibial-pta
travels down medial calf posterior to the tibia (distal pea found posterior to medial malleolus)
18
New cards
external iliac artery and vein become common femoral artery and vein after passing under ________
inguinal ligament
19
New cards
the superficial femoral becomes popliteal after passing through _____
adductor hiatus
20
New cards
common femoral artery and vein travel down medial thigh and bifurcate into the deep and superficial _______
femoral
21
New cards
arteries are ______ in cross section
round
22
New cards
common femoral vein-cfv
the cdv becomes the external iliac after passing under the inguinal ligament
23
New cards
greater saphenous vein-gsv
travels up the entire medial leg and joins the cfv in the superior thigh- this is known as the saphenofemoral junction (sfj)
24
New cards
deep femoral vein-dfv (profunda)
joins FV distal to the saphenofemoral junction
25
New cards
femoral vein -fv
travels up the medial thigh superficial to the dfv
26
New cards
popliteal vein
this travels posterior to the knee and becomes the femoral v after passing through the adductor hiatus
27
New cards
the small saphenous vein (ssv)
joins pop v proximal to the paired calf veins-does not have an accompanying artery
28
New cards
paired peroneal, posterior tibial (ptv), anterior tibial veins come together to form the
popliteal vein
29
New cards
superficial veins are located near the skins surface and drains superficial tissues like
small saphenous veins, greater saphenous veins
30
New cards
deep veins are paired with an artery and lie deeper within the muscle or abdomen like
external iliac, common femoral, femoral, deep femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, anterior tibial, peroneal
31
New cards
veins change shape when patient ______
breathes
32
New cards
veins have an ______ shape when not distended
ovoid
33
New cards
arterial
used to describe arteries
34
New cards
venous
used to describe veins
35
New cards
vascular
refers to the vascular system in general- arteries and/or veins
36
New cards
subclavian artery
posterior to clavicle
37
New cards
axillary artery
in area of armpit- bifurcates to become deep brachial artery and brachial artery
38
New cards
brachial artery
travels anterior to the humerus and bifurcates into the radial and ulnar arteries and the cubical fossa
39
New cards
radial artery
travels down lateral side of arm (artery)

carries blood to the face

has extracranial branches
50
New cards
vertebral arteries
branch off the subclavian artery and courses along either side of the posterior lateral neck
