the: Answer: Superficial Temporal and Facial arteries
◉What is the most common anomaly of the Circle of Willis Answer:
Absence or Hypoplasia of 1 or both of the communicating arteries.
◉The Brachial veins connect the: Answer: Ulnar and radial veins to
the axillary vein
◉Which vein in the antecubital fossa connects the cephalic and
basilic veins? Answer: Median cubital vein.
◉The axillary artery connects the: Answer: Brachial artery to the
subclavian artery
◉The renal arteries arise from the aorta: Answer: laterally
,◉In a cross section of the aorta and the surrounding regions the
vein that is visualized superficial to the aorta and the origins of the
right and left renal arteries in deep to the superior mesenteric artery
is the: Answer: Left Renal Vein
◉The splenic common hepatic and left gastric arteries arise from
this abdominal artery: Answer: Celiac Trunk
◉The smallest vessels in the body are: Answer: capillaries
◉The term Tunica Intima denotes: Answer: The inner lining of the
arterial wall
◉The layer of arterial or venous wall composed entirely of
endothelial cells is the: Answer: Tunica Intima
◉A venule contains which vessel layers: Answer: Tunica media and
Tunica Intima
◉Atherosclerosis is a disease the begins in the: Answer: Intima
◉A disease that affects primarily the Intima and may extended into
the media is: Answer: Atherosclerosis
,◉In the cerebrovascular system, atherosclerosis occurs my
commonly in the: Answer: Carotid Bulb
◉The NASCET (north American symptomatic carotid
endarterectomy trial) used the following arterial graphic
criteria/criterium to classify internal carotid artery disease:
Answer: Diameter percentage stenosis calculated by diving the
minimal diameter by the diameter of the unstenosed distal internal
carotid artery.
◉A patient complains of temporary shading of the vision in 1 eye,
this symptom is called: Answer: Amaurosis Fugax

◉The abbreviation TIA stands for: Answer: transient ischemic
attack
◉Subclavian steal occurs: Answer: more often on the left side
◉Why are brachial blood pressures obtained bilaterally when
evaluating a patient for cerebrovascular disease? Answer: The
brachial blood pressures are compared to see if they are equal.
, ◉Lose of the spectral window with pulsed Doppler ultrasound
occurs with: Answer: Flow Turbulence
◉A duplex image of the carotid bifurcation that demonstrates a
goblet-like configuration of the internal and external branches
curving around a highly vascularized mass suggests: Answer:
Carotid Body Tumor
◉TCD findings consistent with vasospasm following subarachnoid
hemorrhage would include Answer: Greatly increased mean
velocities in the middle cerebral arteries
◉In TCD the normal direction of flow in the Vertebral artery is:
Answer: Away from the beam
◉The usual instrumentation for hand held TCD includes a probe
with a operating frequency of: Answer: 2 MHz
◉Which of the following would alter the frequency shift of the
internal carotid artery Doppler signal: Answer: Tapering of the
vessel from the bulb to the distal visualized segment and Increasing
the transmitted frequency.
◉In TCD the normal direction of flow in the middle cerebral artery
is: Answer: Towards the beam.
