Regarding the radial artery, which is true? Pg 751 Moore
a.
it is medial to the radial nerve in the forearm
T – brachial artery splits into Y shape making radial and ulnar artery and the
nerves lie outside the arteries ie never cross. Therefore radial nerve is lateral to
radial artery and ulnar nerve is medial to ulnar artery in anatomical position
b.
it goes under supinator at the elbow goes under BR
F - above
c.
it is medial to the brachial artery in the antecubital fossa F – lateral
d.
in its middle third has the radial nerve medial to it
F - No. It is medial to it
e.
lies on brachioradialis in the upper arm
F - No. Deep to BR
f.
passes between the tendons of EPB and APL
F - Not between them but under both of them
g.
forms both the anterior and posterior carpal arches
T
h.
Largest branch of brachial a.
F - Who the fuck knows
i.
Lateral to rad n.
F - it lies medial to it
57.
The brachial artery p725
a.
is a continuation of the subclavian artery
T - sort of. BLITZ SAYS YES BUT AXILLARY COMES FIRST….
b.
runs parallel but deep to the profunda brachii
F - It shouldn’t be deep to profunda which is deep….
c.
is crossed posteriorly by the median nerve
F - No Anteriorly
d.
lies anterior to the cephalic vein
F
e.
lies lateral to the brachial plexus
T - YES accord to BLITZ
58.
Which is not a branch of the axillary artery ?
59.
The axillary artery p702, 699
a.
arises from the vertebral artery
F - No from the subclavian
b.
has no branches in it’s 3rd part
F - - No. It has three (circumflex scapular, posterior circumflex scapular,
Thoracodorsal
c.
is clasped in it’s 3rd part by the chords of the
brachial plexus
F - No. 2
nd
part is clasped by the cords
d.
supplies the pectoral muscles via the superior
thoracic artery
T - ?YES. Superior thoracic comes off the first part and supplies 1
st
and second
IC space ??pec muscles
e.
is divided into 3 parts by teres minor
F - No. By Pec minor
