Anatomical (& linear) guides and limits ASUMH_FUS

• Anatomical Guide


  A method of locating a structure, such as an artery or a vein, by reference to an adjacent known or prominent structure.
• Linear Guide


  A line drawn of visualized on the surface of the skin to represent the approximate location of some deeper lying structure.
• Anatomical Limit


  The point of origin and point of termination of a structure in relation to adjacent structures.
• Common Carotid Artery & Internal Jugular Vein

  Anterior Triangle of the NeckSuperiorly – inferior border of the mandible (jawbone).Laterally – anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid.Medially – Sagittal line down the midline of the neck.

  
• Common Carotid Artery Linear Guide:


  From sternoclavicular articulation to anterior surface of ear lobe

  
• Common Carotid Artery Anatomical Guide

  Right and Left CCA located posterior to the medial border of the SCM.

  
• Common Carotid Artery Anatomical Limit

  
• Common Carotid Origins


  The right common carotid is a terminal branch of the Brachiocephalic Artery The left common carotid is a branch off the Arch of the Aorta
• Common Carotid Artery Branches

  No branches except terminal bifurcation into right internal and external carotid arteries.

  
• Branches of the Right and Left External Carotid Arteries

  
• Branches of the Right and Left Internal Carotid Arteries

  
• Relationship of the Common Carotid to the Internal Jugular Vein

  The common carotid artery lies MEDIAL and DEEP to the internal jugular vein
• Axillary Artery Linear Guide

  Parallel to the long axis of the abducted arm

  
• Axillary Artery Anatomical Guide

  Posterior to the medial border of the Coracobrachialis Muscle

  
• Axillary Artery Anatomical Limit

  
• Axillary Artery Origin

  Continuation of the Subclavian Artery

  
• Axillary Artery Branches

  
• Relationship of the Axillary Artery to Axillary Vein

  The Axillary Artery is located LATERAL and DEEP to the Axillary Vein.
• Femoral Artery and Vein


  Femoral TriangleThe inguinal ligament is the base and the sides are the medial border of the sartorius muscle and the lateral border of the adductor longus muscle

  
• Femoral Artery Linear Guide

  On the thigh from the center of the inguinal ligament to the medial condyle (knee) of the femur.
• Femoral Artery Anatomical Guide


  passes through the center of the femoral triangle and is bound laterally by the sartorius muscle and medially by the adductor longus muscle
• Femoral Artery Anatomical Limit


  Extends from a point behind the center of the INGUINAL LIGAMENT to the opening in the ADDUCTOR MAGNUS MUSCLE
• Femoral Artery Origin

  A continuation of the external iliac artery
• Relationship of the Femoral Artery and Vein

  The femoral artery lies LATERAL and SUPERFICIAL to the femoral vein.

  
• Brachial Linear Artery


  from a point over the center of the lateral border of the base of the axillary space to a point approximately 1 inch below and in front of the elbow joint
• Brachial Artery Anatomical Guide


  Lies in the bicipital groove at the posterior margin of the medial border of the belly of the biceps brachii muscle
• Brachial Artery Anatomical Limit


  Extends from a point beginning at the inferior border of the tendon of the teres major muscle to a point inferior to the antecubital fossa
• Brachial Artery Origin

  continuation of the axillary artery
• Relationship of the Brachial Artery and the Basilic Vein

  The accompanying Basilic Vein is located MEDIAL and SUPERFICIAL to the brachial artery
• anatomical position

  To stand erect with arms at the sides and palms of the hands turned forward

• Anatomical Limits


  points of origin and points of termination in relation to adjacent structures; used to designate the boundaries of arteries
• Blood in the veins flows in the direction _____ that of blood in the arteries

  opposite

  Opposite
• Bony boundaries of cervicoaxillary canal.

  clavicle, scapula, and first rib
• Common Carotid Artery Linear Guide:

  Linear guide - a point from sternoclavicular articulation to the anterior surface of the lobe of the ear.

  
• Common Carotid Artery Anatomical Guide:

  along medial border of sternocleidomastoid muscle.

  
• R. Common Carotid Artery Anatomical Limits:

  Right common carotid - begins at the level of sternoclavicular articulation andterminates at the level of the superior border of the thyroid cartilage.

  
• L. Common Carotid Anatomical Limits:

  Left common carotid - begins at the level of second costal cartilage and terminates at the superior border of the thyroid cartilage.
