anatomical guide and limits

Which blood vessel continues as the brachial artery?

Axillary artery

Which blood vessel is the continuation of the external iliac artery?

Femoral Artery

What muscle acts as the anatomical guide for the external iliac artery?

Pssoas major

Which artery should be raised and injected to facilitae the embalming of the body between the antecubital fossa and the wrist?

Radial

Which blood vessel lies just lateral of the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle?

Radial

Which artery can be located along a line from the center of the antecubital fossa to a point between the fourth and fifth digits of the upper extremity?

Ulnar

The femoral artery is bordered medially by the muscle

adductor longus

The femoral artery originates at a point behind the center of the inguinal ligament and terminates at the opening in the muscle

adductor magnus

Any surface, promience, or structure which is used in establishing the location of an adjacent structure or prominence is a(n)

anatomical guide

Just behind the medial border of the coraco-brachialis muscle is the anatomical guide for the artery.

axillary

Blood vessel at the origin of the brachial artery

axillary artery

The anatomical guide for the artery is posterior to the medial border of the belly of the biceps brachii muscle

brachial

Which of these blood vessels is located posterior to the medial border of the belly of the biceps brachii muscle?

brachial artery

The linear guide for the axillary artery is from the

center of the axillary space parallel to the long axis of the upper extremity

The linear guide for the femoral artery is from the

center of the inguinal ligament to the center of the medial condyle of the femur

The anatomical guide for the artery is along the medial border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

common carotid

The anatomical guide for the axillary artery is at the medial border of the

coracobrachialis muscle

The inferior vena cava is the vein which accompanies the

descending aorta

The artery which is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery is the

dorsalis pedis

From the center of the anterior surface of the ankle joint to a point between the first and second toe is the linear guide for the

dorsalis pedis artery

The artery changes its name to the femoral and is used in the embalming of an autopsied body.

external iliac

Through the center of the femoral triangle bordered laterally by the sartorius muscle and medially by the adductor longus muscle, is the anatomical guide for the artery.

femoral

Which of the following blood vessels is the origin of the popliteal artery?

femoral artery

Where is the common carotid artery found?

in the neck

Which vein is considered to be the companion to the common carotid artery?

internal jugular vein

What is the relationship of the femoral vein to the femoral artery?

it lies medial and deep

Improper positioning of the head on the headrest may interfere with drainage from the

jugular vein

The ulnar artery lies along the border of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.

lateral

Which of the following arteries begins at the level of the second costal cartilage?

left common carotid

Where are the iliac arteries and veins located?

pelvic cavity

The artery which originates at the opening in the adductor magnus muscle and terminates at the inferior border of the popliteous muscle

popliteal

From the center of the popliteal space to a point midway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneus bone is the linear guide for the

posterior tibial artery

The anatomical guide for the artery is just lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle.

radial

In the femoral triangle the femoral artery is bordered laterally by the muscle

sartorius

The right common carotid artery begins at the level of the

sternoclavicular articulation

The right artery is shorter than the left one due to its origin

subclavian

Blood vessel that is the origin of the axillary artery

subclavian artery

The common carotid arteries terminate at the level of the

superior border of the thyroid cartilage

On the surface of the forearm from the center of the antecubital fossa to a point between the fourth and fifth finger is the linear guide for the

ulnar artery
