head
largest vessel that can be raised from a superficial point outside the trunk area
common carotid
lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle
ulnar artery
from the center of the anterior surface of the ankle joint to a point between the first and second toes
dorsalis pedis artery
supplies arterial solution to lower extremities. most commonly injected in autopsied bodies. otherwise, the incision can be made superior to the inguinal ligament
external iliac artery
represents the approximate location of underlying structures
linear guide
a line from the sternoclavicular articulation to the lobe of the right ear
right common carotid
from the center of the base of the axillary space to the center of the forearm just distal to the antecubital fossa
brachial artery
Begins at a point posterior to the center of the inguinal ligament and terminates at the opening of the Adductor Hiatus in the Adductor Magnus Muscle
femoral artery
large vessel which can be used as an injection site in infants
abdominal aorta
method of locating a structure by referencing an adjacent structure
anatomical guide
along the inferior border of the mandible just anterior to the angle of the mandible
facial artery
supplies solution to the thumb side of the hand
radial artery
incision is made along the lateral margin of the inferior third of the crest of the tibia
anterior tibial artery
Begins at the sternoclavicular articulation and terminates at the lateral border of the first rib
subclavian artery
second most commonly used set of vessels for arterial embalming
femoral artery and vein
in direct line with the right atrium of the heart
right internal jugular
incision made along flexor carpi radialis tendon, one inch proximal to thumb
radial artery
distal to the inferior border of the popliteus muscle to the anterior surface of the foot
anterior tibial artery
a heart tap involves piercing this chamber of the heart with a trocar for drainage
right atrium
visible vasa vasorum
arteries
supplies solution to the soft tissues of the face
facial artery
axillary artery
incision is made midway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneal tendon
posterior tibial artery
can be used as a very effective drainage location, but only in cases of a partial autopsy
inferior vena cava
Parallel incision on posteromedial aspect of the thigh just superior to popliteal space (accompanying vein not used for drainage)
popliteal artery
