Study Notes

Blood Vessels II: Head, Neck, and Upper Limb

  • Cardiovascular Objectives: Recall structures enabling gas and nutrient exchange throughout the body. Trace blood flow and identify related structures within the cardiovascular system.

Lecture Learning Objectives

  • Objective 1: Visually identify blood vessels in cranial, superior mediastinum, neck, and upper limb regions.
  • Objective 2: Trace blood pathways, naming vessels for each region. Differentiate arterial and venous blood flow. Recognize anatomical landmarks identifying vessel changes.
  • Objective 3: Identify areas supplied by listed blood vessels.
  • Objective 4: Describe arterial supply and venous drainage of the internal cranium.
  • Objective 5: Describe the cavernous sinus' importance.
  • Objective 6: Identify upper limb arteries used to measure pulse at specific locations.

Systemic Blood Vessels

  • Most arteries and veins are paired, sharing the same name except for largest vessels.
  • Vessels are often named for tissue they supply or traverse.
  • While tracing vessels, note that the same vessel may have different names.
  • All named vessels in the text can be tested.

Arteries of the Superior Mediastinum, Head, and Neck

  • No details provided, only a title.

Systemic Blood Vessels (LO 1 and 2)

  • Diagrams show the aorta's path to the head, upper limbs, and abdomen, pelvis, and lower limbs. Also shows the superior vena cava. Heart positioned in a central location to receive blood from all regions.

Arterial Supply to Head, Neck, and Upper Limbs

  • Information presented in a diagram of a heart and aorta.
  • Aorta supplies the regions.

Arteries of the Upper Limb

  • Detailed images of the upper limbs with multiple arteries and veins labeled.
  • Also, shows regions and structures of the superior thoracic wall, axilla, and shoulder joint, and their branches.

Major Brachial Arterial Branches

  • Profunda brachii artery location and relationship with the radial nerve.
  • Locations of collateral vessels from the brachial artery to the radial and ulnar arteries.
  • Recurrent vessels branching proximally and distally from the brachial and other vessels.

Clinical Application

  • Anterior dislocation of the humeral head can compress the axillary artery.
  • Vessel occlusion may result from the compression.
  • Nerves in the region may also be damaged.

Vessels of the Forearm and Hand

  • Arterial supply of the forearm and the hand's vascular network (common interosseous artery, radial artery, ulnar artery, superficial palmar arch).

Venous Drainage of Upper Limb

  • Upper limb drainage, including unpaired superficial veins like basilic and cephalic veins.
  • Venous branches matching arterial branches of the axillary artery.

Superficial Veins of the Upper Limb

  • Basilic and cephalic veins.
  • Joining of basilic and brachial to form the axillary vein.
  • Median cubital vein.

Clinical Application: Pulse and Blood Pressure Measurements in the Upper Limb

  • Several upper limb locations for measuring pulse.
  • Brachial artery use to measure blood pressure.
