(a)   accompany arteries and share the same

names

Peripheral veins return (a)   blood back to heart

provide channels between superficial and deep veins

(a)  

Veins have (a)   tunica media

(a)   are folds of the intima, the innermost layer of vein wall

Venous valves are (a)   , more numerous in distal leg (GSV).

Venous valves maintain (a)   blood flow from peripheral veins to central veins

Help fight against effects of hydrostatic pressure—gravity when standing upright

(a)  

• Anterior tibial veins

• Posterior tibial veins

• Peroneal veins

• Popliteal vein

• Femoral vein

• Common femoral vein

• Deep femoral vein

• External iliac vein

• Common iliac vein

(a)  

RT and LT (a)   converge to form IVC

In most people, LT common iliac vein is compressed by ___ ___artery as it crosses over to join IVC

(a)  

This anatomical variation, known as (a)   syndrome or iliac vein compression syndrome, obstructs blood flow from the left leg, creating an environment ripe for blood clots (deep vein thrombosis -DVT) and swelling

Normally, there are no valves in __ __

(a)  

ends as it joins common femoral vein at the saphenofemoral junction in proximal thigh

(a)  

is longest vein in body

(a)  

has approximately 10 to 20 valves, and receives many tributaries

(a)  

originates on dorsum of foot, runs superiorly anterior to medial malleolus

(a)  

Medial, lateral, and posterior perforators, with Cockett’s I, II, and III having greatest clinical

significance

(a)  

So called because they perforate the deep fascia of muscles, to connect the superficial veins to the deep veins where they drain

(a)  

Their role is maintaining correct blood draining

(a)  

The lumen is anechoic Walls of the vein will coapt entirely with gentle transducer pressure

(a)  

Normal venous waveform shows cardiac pulsatility in (a)   (common femoral vein)

Normal venous waveform shows respiratory phasicity in (a)  

The superficial femoral vein is a (a)   vein in the lower extremity

The term "superficial" refers to (a)   that are close to the surface of the body, while deep veins are located further away

1. Aortoiliac (inflow)

2. Femoropopliteal (outflow)

3. Tibioperoneal (runoff)

(a)  

Originates at aortic bifurcation and terminates at the level of inguinal ligament

(a)  

INFLOW segment of the lower extremity arterial tree

(a)  

Distal abdominal aorta, common iliac arteries, external iliac arteries, and internal iliac arteries are apart of the (a)   segment

The red marker is indicating the (a)   segment

Abdominal AO terminates in bifurcation of RT and LT (a)  

Each CIA bifurcates into __ and __ iliac arteries.

(a)  

External iliac artery terminates at inguinal ligament, where it becomes (a)  

(a)   originates beneath inguinal ligament and terminates by dividing into the Femoral and Profunda femoris arteries

Begins at level of inguinal ligament and ends at trifurcation of popliteal artery in popliteal fossa behind knee

(a)  

OUTFLOW segment

(a)  

Common femoral artery, deep femoral (profound femurs) artery, superficial femoral artery, and popliteal artery

(a)  

The red section highlights the (a)  

(a)   is located at the level of the groin, and it is evaluated in the longitudinal plane

In the distal thigh, the femoral artery becomes the (a)   artery, which travels through the popliteal fossa

Begins at termination of popliteal artery and ends at ankle, where tibial arteries anastomose with plantar and metatarsal arteries of foot

(a)  

RUNOFF segment

(a)  

Anterior tibial arteries, posterior tibial arteries, and peroneal arteries

(a)  

The highlighted section of this image shows the (a)   segment

origin can be visualized diving deep in the proximal calf.

(a)  

The remainder of the vessel can be located distally by placing the transducer on the lateral calf and following it to the level of the ankle

(a)  

extends into the calf from the popliteal artery, distal to the origin of the ATA

(a)  

arteries can be visualized by placing the transducer on the medial calf

(a)  

is located deep to, and runs parallel with, the PTA

(a)  

takes off after anterior tibial artery and bifurcates into posterior tibial artery and peroneal artery

(a)  

travels down medial calf in posterior compartment and terminates between ankle and heel into medial and lateral plantar arteries

(a)  

located deep within calf and travels near medial aspect of fibula

(a)  

Terminates in distal third of calf; its branches communicate with branches

of posterior and anterior tibial arteries

(a)  

arteries take off at popliteal and travel down lateral calf in the anterior compartment to the level of the ankle

(a)  

artery is a continuation of anterior tibial artery on top of the foot
