Lecture 10 Arteries and veins of the upper limb 1. Identify the Subclavian, axillary, brachial (deep and superficial), radial and ulnar arteries and superficial/deep palmar arches 2. Describe the major course and relations of these arteries Originate at Subclavian (under clavicle from upper aorta) Through neurovascular bundle at axilla Axillary Circumflex wrap around humerus posteriorly and anteriorly Down to Brachial (passes via cubital fossa) with superficial and profundal branches Brachial division supplies interosseous and branches into Radial) and Ulnar Radial and Ulnar join at palm to Superficial and Deep Arch 3. Identify the main pulse sites of the upper limb Axillary Brachial mid arm Brachial at cubital fossa Radial pulse at distal forearm Radial pulse at anatomical snuffbox Ulnar pulse at distal forearm 4. Identify superficial veins: Cephalic, basilic, median cubital, median 1. Dorsal venous arch 2. Cephalic toward head along anterior border of deltoid 3. Basilic deeper in brachium 4. Median cubital runs along brachial artery and joins veins 2, 3 and 5 5. Median - antebrachial 5. Describe the general location and arrangement of deep veins Accompany artery and carry same name venae comitantes Often several deep veins accompany one artery until vein gets larger and reduces to one Thin walled and dispensable rely on valves to prevent backwash 6. Describe the pattern of superficial and deep venous return As veins become more proximal they increase in size Deep veins accompany artery Flow: Superficial - > deep - > heart
Originate at distal, terminate at proximal Oppose arterial flow 7. Explain the hazards relating to applying an injection in the cubital fossa Brachial artery can be punctured to cause bruising and pain Median nerve can also be pinched and can cause nerve damage or pain Lecture 11 Nerves of the upper limb 1.

Describe the sensory representation of the radial, ulnar and median nerve in the hand Radial Posterior lateral half (non mid or distal phalanges) 1-3 some 4 Ulnar Posterior and anterior palm/phalanges 4-5 Median palmar surface and 1-3 phalanges 7. Understand the consequences of damage to the main nerves of the upper limb Ulnar damage = claw hand atrophy of hypothenar and interossei with muscle imbalance Median nerve in forearm Pronators, FCR, FDS, ½ FDP Median nerve at carpal tunnel 3 thenar muscles ONLY Radial nerve at proximal humerus all extensors of arm, forearm, fingers and supinator Axillary in axilla deltoid, teres major Lecture 12 The Pelvic Girdle 1.
