Study Notes
Venipuncture and Catheter Placement
- Accessory cephalic vein: located on the dorsum of the paw and distal antebrachium, can be used for venipuncture
- Median cubital vein: forms a connection between the cephalic vein and the median or brachial vein
- Median vein: drains into both median cubital and brachial veins
- Brachial vein: continuation of the median vein in the brachial region
Nerves of the Thoracic Limb
- Cranial pectoral nerves: innervate superficial pectoral muscle
- Caudal pectoral nerves: innervate deep pectoral muscle, often combined with the lateral thoracic nerve
- Lateral thoracic nerve: innervates cutaneous trunci muscle, involved in the panniculus reflex
- Suprascapular nerve: innervates lateral stabilizers of the shoulder (supraspinatus, infraspinatus muscles), loss of innervation could affect stability of the shoulder joint
- Subscapular nerve: innervates subscapularis muscle
- Musculocutaneous nerve: innervates extensors of the shoulder and flexors of the elbow (coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, brachialis muscles), autonomous (cutaneous) innervation to the medial aspect of the antebrachium
- Axillary nerve: innervates flexors of the shoulder (teres major, teres minor, deltoideus muscles)
- Thoracodorsal nerve: innervates latissimus dorsi muscle
- Radial nerve: innervates all extensor muscles of the elbow, carpus, digits, and supinator muscle, autonomous innervation to the lateral antebrachium and dorsal paw
Arteries of the Thoracic Limb
- Brachial artery: continuation of the axillary artery
- Deep brachial artery: supplies the triceps brachii muscle
- Bicipital artery: supplies the biceps brachii muscle
- Collateral ulnar artery: supplies the caudal elbow area
- Transverse cubital artery: supplies the cranial elbow and adjacent muscles
- Common interosseus artery: last branch of the brachial artery, short common trunk with three branches (ulnar, caudal interosseous, and cranial interosseous arteries)
- Median artery: principal source of blood to the paw, passes through the carpal canal with the deep digital flexor tendon to supply the palmar surface of the paw
- Deep antebrachial artery: supplies the deep antebrachium
- Radial artery: supplies the radial aspect of the antebrachium
- Superficial palmar arch: supplies the palmar paw
Veins of the Thoracic Limb
- Cephalic vein: named the same as the arteries they accompany
- Median vein: principal source of blood to the paw, passes through the carpal canal with the deep digital flexor tendon to supply the palmar surface of the paw
- Ulnar vein: accompanies the ulnar artery
- Radial vein: accompanies the radial artery
- Superficial palmar arch: supplies the palmar paw
