most internal layer of arteries

tunica intima

middle layer of arteries

tunica media

external layer of arteries

tunica adventitia (externa)

arteries carry blood away from the _

heart

arteries have blood pressure

higher

arteries have thicker smooth muscle which allows arteries to or __

vasoconstriction, vasodilation

veins carry blood from heart

away

veins are

compressible

veins contain

valves

external iliac

becomes common femoral after passing under inguinal ligament

common femoral -cfa

located near medial groin

deep femoral -dfa-profunda

deep branch of the CFA in thigh

superficial femoral-sfa

superficial branch of the common femoral in the medial thigh- becomes popliteal artery after passing through adductor hiatus

popliteal artery

visualized posterior to the knee (artery)

anterior tibial- ata

first branch of the popliteal-travels down anterior calf lateral to the tibia (becomes dorsals pedis at anterior ankle)

peroneal

travels down posterior calf

posterior tibial-pta

travels down medial calf posterior to the tibia (distal pea found posterior to medial malleolus)

external iliac artery and vein become common femoral artery and vein after passing under

inguinal ligament

the superficial femoral becomes popliteal after passing through _

adductor hiatus

common femoral artery and vein travel down medial thigh and bifurcate into the deep and superficial _

femoral

arteries are in cross section

round

common femoral vein-cfv

the cdv becomes the external iliac after passing under the inguinal ligament

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)

deep femoral vein-dfv (profunda)

joins FV distal to the saphenofemoral junction

femoral vein -fv

travels up the medial thigh superficial to the dfv

popliteal vein

this travels posterior to the knee and becomes the femoral v after passing through the adductor hiatus

the small saphenous vein (ssv)

joins pop v proximal to the paired calf veins-does not have an accompanying artery

paired peroneal, posterior tibial (ptv), anterior tibial veins come together to form the

popliteal vein

superficial veins are located near the skins surface and drains superficial tissues like

small saphenous veins, greater saphenous veins

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

veins change shape when patient

breathes

veins have an shape when not distended

ovoid

arterial

used to describe arteries

venous

used to describe veins

vascular

refers to the vascular system in general- arteries and/or veins

subclavian artery

posterior to clavicle

axillary artery

in area of armpit- bifurcates to become deep brachial artery and brachial artery

brachial artery

travels anterior to the humerus and bifurcates into the radial and ulnar arteries and the cubical fossa

radial artery

travels down lateral side of arm (artery)

ulnar artery

travels down medial side of arm (artery)

subclavian vein

posterior to clavicle

cephalic vein

large proximal and superior superficial vein of the arm

axillary vein

in armpit area (vein)

basilic vein

paired veins with the brachial artery in upper arm

radial veins

paired veins with the radial artery on the lateral side of the forearm

ulnar veins

paired veins with the ulnar artery in the medial side of the forearm

common carotid arteries (cca)

found in the anterior lateral neck on either side of the trachea

bifurcates into the internal and external carotid arteries

internal carotid artery (ICA)

carries blood to the brain

external carotid artery (ECA)

carries blood to the face

has extracranial branches

vertebral arteries

branch off the subclavian artery and courses along either side of the posterior lateral neck

carries blood to spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebellum

brachiocephalic artery

first branch of aortic arch

bifurcates into the right common carotid and right subclavian artery

left common carotid

second branch of the aortic arach

left subclavian

third branch of the aortic arch
