CVS 202T vascular exam 1 questions
with 100% complete solutions
abdominal aorta characteristics - correct answer ✔✔largest artery
begins after DA passes through diaphragm
bifurcates into RCIA & LCIA (terminates)
brings blood to LE & abdomen organs
runs on left of midline
characteristics:
pulsatile
non-collapsible
"most of the time" red
higher pressure/resistance
oxygenated
more defined circular shape (trans)
consistent diam in long: straight appearance
more echogenic walls
IVC characteristics - correct answer ✔✔widest vein in body
runs on right of midline
receives blood from LE & abdom organs
confluence of RCIV & LCIV form IVC
, terminates at RA
characteristics:
collapsible
non-pulsatile
"tear drop" shape in trans
deoxygenated
non consistent in diameter; "hammock" shape in long
low pressure/ resistance
varies in size w/ inspiration & expiration
what are the 5 main branches of the abdominal aorta? - correct answer ✔✔1st
Celiac Artery
2nd Superior Mesenteric Artery
3rd & 4th R & L Renal Arteries
5th Inferior Mesenteric Artery
renal views on ultrasound exam - correct answer ✔✔suprarenal (prox)
(supra=above renal arteries)
diaphragm to origin of SMA
juxtarenal (mid) (supra= above renal arteries)
SMA to renal arteries
infrarenal (distal)
renal arteries to aortic bifurcation
