Peripheral Vascular System

Front 1

Artery

Back 1

carry O2 blood

Front 2

Pulmonary Artery

Back 2

carries blood to heart

Front 3

Major arm arteries

Back 3

brachial
radial
ulnar

Front 4

Major leg arteries

Back 4

Femoral
popliteal divides below knee 2
dorsalis pedis (top of foot) ANT
dorsalis tibial (POSTERIOR)

Front 5

Dorsal arch

Back 5

formed by dorsalis pedis
and dorsalis tibial

Front 6

Veins

Back 6

carry DeOxygenated blood from tissues to heart.

Front 7

Veins of upper trunk
arms, head and neck

Back 7

carry blood
TO SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
passes into RT atrium

Front 8

blood from lower trunk goes upeward into...

Back 8

Inferior Vena Cava

Front 9

Veins contain....

Back 9

nearly 70% of body's blood volume

Front 10

Vein walls are much thinner b/c
ALSO, larger in diameter....

Back 10

carried under much lower pressure than arteries
...can expand if volume increases.

Front 11

3 types of veins

Back 11

deep-
superficial-
perforator (communicater)

Front 12

Superficial

Back 12

great and small saphenous
femolar
popleteal

Front 13

Venous stasis

Back 13

result from venous return impeded as a result of a faulty mechanism0

Front 14

capillaries

Back 14

small blood vessels that connect arterioles & venules
ensures removal of excess fluid from interstitial spaces as well as delivery of O2 & removal of CO2

Front 15

Lymphatic System

Back 15

is THE filter of the blood

Front 16

includes

Back 16

lymphatic capillaries,
lymph node
lymph ducts

Front 17

3 types of lymph nodes

Back 17

epitrochlear ( look for infection @ wrist or hand)
axillary
inguinal

Front 18

DVT risk factors

Back 18

any condition that increases blood clotting, including inhereited conditions;low blood flow from surgery or immobility;

Front 19

Peripheral vascular disease
(5 disorders)

Back 19

5 disorders:
aortic anyeurisms
cerebrovascular disease (clotting problems)
DVT & pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary artery occlusive disease ( causes arterial wounds)
Varicose veins

Front 20

arterial risk factors

Back 20

poor diet
history of diabetes;
cigarette smoking
males

Front 21

Veinous Insufficiency
risk factors

Back 21

Female
surgery
pregnancy (increases blood volume & weight)
HRT therapy & oral birth contr.

Front 24

Raynaud's disease

Back 24

vascular disorder caused by vascoconstriction or vasospasm of fingers or toes.
characterized by rapid changes in color, swelling, pain, numbness, burning, throbbing. Occurs bilaterally; symptoms last minutes to hours.

Front 25

Objective inspection arms

Back 25

sarms-size, venous pattern, palpation of pulses, temp. brachial pulses, epitroclear lymph nodes, allens test

Front 26

Allen's test

Back 26

occlude the blood flow to the hand, if the patient complains of tingling, make sure the blood flow returns ( similar to cap refill).

Front 27

Obj. inspect of arms

Back 27

LOOK FROM TOES TO GROIN, palpate and ausultate pulses, inspect for varicosities and thrombophlebitis ( swelling/inflammation in vessels) look and stage pitting edema. Do homan's sign

Front 28

Homans sign

Back 28

patient is lying down, dorsiflex ankle quickly, does patient feel pain in calf?
Posive sign indicates DVT

Front 29

Venial insufficciency

Back 29

Pain is achy or cramping. (common w/ pregnant women).
Pulse is present but diff. to PALPATE b/c of EDEMA.
common to diabetics. edema blocks circultaion, SHALLOW +=diminished blood flow.

Front 30

Arterial insufficiency

Back 30

loss of hair CRATER like
silvery, thin skin
PAIN... intermittant claudification; from poor circulation w/in the leg. Burning, can be associated w/ activity. can progress to be sharp, unrelenting and constant. Pulses diminished.
PALLOR
DEPENDENT RUBOR hand a limb off exam table.
DEEP =no blood flow
