Vascular Carotid Quiz

1. The first branch of the external Carotid artery is usually the:

Facial Artery

Superficial Temporal Artery

Internal Maxillary Artery

Superior Thyroid Artery

2. The subclavian artery becomes knows as what artery after crossing the Lateral margin of the first rib?

Brachiocephalic artery

Axillary artery

Brachilal artery

Vertebral Artery

The subclavian artery continues as the axillary artery after is passes the lateral margin of the first rib. The axillary artery in turn becomes the brachial artery

Explanation

The subclavian artery continues as the axillary artery after is passes the lateral margin of the first rib. The axillary artery in turn becomes the brachial artery

3. Which vein in the antecubital fossa connects with the cephalic and basilica veins?

Axillary vein

Median cubital vein

Cephalic Vein

Basilic Vein

4. A 48 y/o mal presents with retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery. This most likely related to occlusion of the:

Left Subclavian

Right Vertebral

Right Subclavian

Innomonate

In the case of proximal left subclavian artery occlusion, the left vertebral artery flow will reverse to provide blood flow to the left are. This is termed subclavian steal. Although it occurs more commonly on the left side, it can present to either side of the body.

5. All of the following are deep veins of the upper extremity EXCEPT:

Brachial vein

Cephalic vein

Axillary vein

Radial Vein

The deep veins of the upper extremity included palmer venous arch, radial veins, ulnar veins and interosseous of the forearm, brachial veins, and axillary vein. The deep veins accompany same named arteries & are usually paired. The cephalic, basilica, and medial cubital veins are superficial veins. They do not accompany an artery and are not paired.

6. Which Branch of the External Carotid Artery provides a collateral pathway to the Vertebral Artery?

Lingual Artery

Occipital Artery

Facial Artery

Superficial Temporal Artery

7. The most common anatomic variant of the aortic arch is:

A common origin of the innominate and left common carotid arteries

Origin of the left vertebral from the arch

Origin of the right subclavian from the aortic arch

Occurring in approximately 22% of individuals

Explanation

Occurring in approximately 22% of individuals

8. The braciocephalic veins is found:

Only on the right side of the neck

Only on the left side of the neck

On both the right and left sides of the neck

There is no such vein

The venous anatomy of the neck varies from the arterial anatomy in that brachiocephalic vein occurs bilaterally, whereas the brachiocephalic (innominate) artery is found only on the right side. The brachiocephalic vein is formed by the junction of the subclavian and the internal jugular veins.

9. The vertebral Artery enters the Transverse foramina of the cervical spine of what level?

C1

C7

C6

C2

10. Differentiation of the cervical internal carotid artery from the external carotid is accomplished by all the following EXCEPT:

The internal carotid artery is usually located anteromedial to the external carotid artery

The external carotid gives off multiple branches

There are normally no branches of the ICA

A bulbous area is seen at the origin of the ICA

11. In the case of vertebral artery occlusion, which vessel is likely to be enlarged?

Ipsilateral external carotid

Contralateral internal mammary

Contralateral vertebral

Ipsilateral Subclavian

In the case of vertebral occlusion, compensatory enlargement of Contralateral vertebral is quite common

Explanation

In the case of vertebral occlusion, compensatory enlargement of Contralateral vertebral is quite common

12. What is the most common anomaly of the Circle of Willis?

Duplication of the posterior communicating arteries

Hypoplasia of the proximal segment of one of the anterior arteries

Absence of one of the middle cerebral arteries

Absence or hypoplasia of one or both of the communicating arteries

13. Which of the following is not a branch of the subclavian artery?

Vertebral artery

Thyrocervical trunk

Internal mammary artery

Brachial artery

14. Which of the following vessels joins the Brachial Veins to form the Axillary Vein?

Subclavian Vein

Innominate Vein

Cephalic Vein

Basilic Vein

The basilic vein is a superficial vein in the upper extremity that joins with the brachial veins to form the axillary vein. It begins on the ulnar side of the forearm & crosses ventrally at the antecubical region. The basilica vein lies medial to the brachial artery in the upper arm.

Explanation

The basilic vein is a superficial vein in the upper extremity that joins with the brachial veins to form the axillary vein. It begins on the ulnar side of the forearm & crosses ventrally at the antecubical region. The basilica vein lies medial to the brachial artery in the upper arm.
