COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ At the inguinal ligament- superior to the inguinal crease (groin
area). Answer: Where does the External Iliac Artery terminate into
thenCFA?
◉ The Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) & Deep Femoral Artery
(DFA). Answer: What does the CFA divide into?
◉ SFA. Answer: Which Artery, SFA or DFA,courses medial in the
thigh and terminates at the adductors canal becoming the Popliteal
Artery?
◉ Profunda Femoris. Answer: What is another name for the Deep
Femoral Artery?
◉ False, The popliteal artery has many genicular branches that
connect to the DFA. Answer: True or false the Popliteal Artery has
many genicular branches that connect to the SFA, the reason why
SFA occlusion reconstitute in the distal thigh?

To carry away waste
Veno motor tone ( contraction of smooth muscle cells in response to
the nervous system stimulant- temp, stress, exercise). Answer: What
are the functions of veins?

layer in veins that are bicuspid, thin , leaflet like called?
◉ In a valve sinus ( slight dilation of vessel diameter). Answer:
Where do venous valves occur?
◉ Unidirectional flow. Answer: What type of flow do valves normally
allow?
◉ False they increase. Answer: True or false the number of valves
decreases dismally especially infrapopliteal?
◉ The GSV. Answer: What vein is the longest vein in the body?
◉ SVC ( superior Vena Cava)
IVC ( Inferior Vena Cava)
Innominate/ Brachiocephalic
Soleal veins/ sinuses
Intracranial sinuses. Answer: What veins normally do not have
valves?
