The first major arterial branch of the Aorta is the: Correct Answer:
Innominate Artery
Which of the following arteries does NOT arise from the Subclavian
Artery? Correct Answer: Superior Thyroid
The angular artery is the terminal part of the: Correct Answer: Facial
artery
The arterial pulsations felt in front of the ear and just above the
zygomatic arch are from which artery? Correct Answer: Superficial
Temporal
The CCA divides into its external and internal branches usually at the
level of the upper border of the: Correct Answer: Thyroid cartilage
What artery is usally the first branch of the ECA Correct Answer:
Superior thyroid artery
Which of the following is not an artery in the circle of Willis? Correct
Answer: Middle communicating artery
Which of the following arteries arise(s) from the ECA? Correct Answer:
All
- superior thyroid
- lingual
- facial
- ascending pharyngeal
The prominence of the larynx is form by the Correct Answer: Thyroid
cartilage
,(thyroid cartilage forms a prominenc that is especially visible in tall,
thin, socially awkward males)
The Vertebral artery usually arises from the: Correct Answer:
Subclavain artery
The infraOrbital artery is a terminal branch of the: Correct Answer:
Maxillary artery
(infraorbital artery is a terminal branch of the maxillary artery. It creates
one of the potential anastomoses w/ orbital branches that can provide
collateral pathways in the event of carotid obstruction)
The vertebral arteries branch from the Subclavian arteries to unite and
form the: Correct Answer: Basilar artery
The first intracranial branch of the ICA is the: Correct Answer:
Ophthalmic artery
The circle of Willis receives its blood supply from which combination of
arteries? Correct Answer: Carotid and Vertebral arteries*
( remarkable connection of carotid and vertebral arteries: makes possible
the ability of the brain to withstand extracranial carotid occlusion w/o
significant symptoms)
The 3 terminal branches of the Opthalmic artery are the: Correct
Answer: Nasal, Frontal and Supraorbital arteries
2 of the major branches of the ECA include the: Correct Answer:
Superficial temporal and facial arteries
Intracranial potential collateral arteries include all but the following:
Correct Answer: Superficial temporal artery
Which of the following is NOT true regarding the ICA? Correct Answer:
It supplies high-resistance system is false!
,(ICA feeds low-resistance system)
The 2 arteries creating the bidirectional signal observed 60-65 mm deep
during transcranial insonation of the temporal window are the: Correct
Answer: Middle cerebral and ANTERIOR cerebral arteries*
What is the most common anomaly of the Circle of Willis? Correct
Answer: Absence or Hypoplasia of 1 or both of the communicating
arteries
Matching:
Proximal vessel: Branch or Continuation of Vessel:
A. Innominate 1. ICA
B. Subclavian 2. Subclavian
C. CCA 3. Basilar
D. Vertebral 4. Superficial Temporal
E. ECA 5. Vertebral Correct Answer: A. Innominate 2. Subclavian
B. Subclavian 5. Vertebral
C. CCA 1. ICA
D. Vertebral 3. Basilar
E. ECA 4. Superficial Temporal
Helical flow w/ flow separation in the posterolateral aspect of the carotid
bulb is a sign of: Correct Answer: Normal flow dynamics
The most common anatomic variant of the aortic arch is: Correct
Answer: A common origin of the innominate and Lt CCA
The Greater Saphenous Vein: Correct Answer: All
- originates along the medial dorsum of the foot
- passes superiorly, anterior to the medial malleolous
- is accompanied by the saphenous nerve
- receives tributaries from all surfaces of the lower extremity
, Which of the following is NOT correct regarding the GSV? Correct
Answer: It passes superiorly on the "Lateral" side of the knee is false.
- it passes superiorly on the medial side of the thigh
- it enters the femoral vein
- it extends distally to the dorsum of the foot
- it has more valves in the calf thaan in the thigh
The superficial vein that sends flow to the 3 main perforating veins of
the distal calf is called: Correct Answer: Posterior Arch vein*
(it connects the Cockett perfs in the calf, is implicated in the formation
of venous stasis ULCERS)
Boyd's perforating vein is located: Correct Answer: NEAR the KNEE*
*Main ones are Cockett perfs in the mid-distal calf connected by
posterior arch vein;
Boyd's perfs near the medial Knee,
Dodd's perfs above the knee;
Hunter's perfs around mid thigh
The Left Common iliac vein: Correct Answer: Crosses POSTERIOR to
the rt common iliac artery just distal to the Ao bifurcation
- LT Common Iliac Vein is medial to the artery, The vena cava is to the
RT of the AO, thus the Left venous system must cross some arterial
structure to communicate w/ the Vena Cava!
From this cross-sectional diagrahm of the thigh, reading from superficial
to deep, identify the vessels marked: Correct Answer: GSV, SFV, PFV*

The brachial veins connect the: Correct Answer: Ulnar & radial to
brachial to Axillary veins*
Of the following vein segments, which is imaged LEAST commonly?
Correct Answer: Distal DFV
