CVS 102 Vascular Techniques 2 Final
Exam Questions & Answers 2024/2025
- ANSWERS
LE Arteries runs lateral to the - ANSWERSLE deep veins
The LE Arteries originate from the - ANSWERSAbdominal Aorta
LE Arteries terminate in the - ANSWERSarterioles of the toes
LE Arteries supply blood to - ANSWERShigh resistance arteriole beds
The Abdominal Aorta terminates as the - ANSWERSRight and Left Common Iliac Arteries (RCIA and LCIA)
RCIA and LCIA bifurcates into the - ANSWERSInternal and External Iliac Arteries (IIA & EIA)
Internal Iliac Artery brings blood to the - ANSWERSPelvis (AKA: Hypogastric artery)
External Iliac Artery brings blood to the - ANSWERSInferior abdominal wall and LE
External Iliac Artery travels - ANSWERSlaterally entering the thigh at the inguinal ligament where it
becomes the Common Femoral Artery
The Common Femoral Artery travels about - ANSWERS4 cm then bifurcates into superficial and deep
femoral arteries (SFA and DFA)
,Deep Femoral Artery travels laterally and medially to supply the - ANSWERSdeep thigh muscles with
blood
DFA is also known as the - ANSWERSprofunda femoris
DFA distal branches communicate with the - ANSWERSpopliteal artery
SFA travels the - ANSWERSlength of the entire thigh
SFA enters the - ANSWERSHunter's/Adductor's Canal then into popliteal fossa
PopA has 6 branches - ANSWERSGastrocnemius (sural), medial and lateral superior genicular, medial and
lateral inferior genicular and middle genicular
PopA bifurcates into the - ANSWERSanterior tibial and tibioperoneal trunk
PopA also known as - ANSWERSGastrocnemius artery that supplies blood to the gastroc muscle
Anterior Tibia Artery (ATA) travels anteriorly and laterally between the - ANSWERStibia and fibula, name
changes to Dorsalis Pedis as it travels across the dorsum of the foot.
DPA crosses the dorsal aspect of the foot and branches into the - ANSWERSarcuate artery and then into
the metatarsal arteries
TibioPeroneal trunk (TPT) short segment of artery bifurcates into the - ANSWERSPosterior Tibial and
Peroneal arteries.
PTA travels posterior to the - ANSWERSmedial malleolus
PTA bifurcates into the - ANSWERSmedial andlateral plantar arteries in the foot
, PeroA travels down the - ANSWERSmidline of the calf
PeroA also known as the - ANSWERSfibular artery
PeroA supplies blood to the - ANSWERSlateral outside portion of the calf.
Lateral plantar artery and four plantar metatarsal arteries join to form the - ANSWERSplantar arch
Plantar digital arteries runs along the side of the - ANSWERS2nd and 4th toes 5th toe receives blood on
its medial side from a plantar digital branch and its lateral side from the lateral plantar artery.
Great toe receives blood on its medial side from the - ANSWERS1st dorsal metatarsal artery.
Arterial Hemodynamics is the - ANSWERSstudy of blood flow
Primary source of pressure is - ANSWERSsystolic contraction of ventricles
Contraction creates a - ANSWERSpressure (energy) gradient to move blood
systolic pressure - ANSWERSblood expelled from the LV into the aorta= stroke volume
systolic pressure is pressure on the artery walls that expand from increased - ANSWERSvolume and
creates potential energy in the form of an expanded artery.
Systolic pressure slightly increases in the - ANSWERSdistal arteries
Diastolic pressure - ANSWERSas volume decreases in the artery during diastole, the artery decreases in
size (recoils) pressure is reduced and blood flows on its own momentum since the heart is resting.
