Chapter 20, Problem 3CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The consequences of wounds to distal forearm.
Introduction:
The forearm has a distinct set of arteries that extend all the way up to the fingers of the palm. The system of arteries extends from the aorta up to the tips of the finger. Any damage to the anterior side of the forearm would be as dangerous as a slash obtained in the wrist region due to the interconnected network of arteries.

Christine is going to perform venipuncture. She could clearly see the median cubital vein protruding in the arm of a 70-year-old male patient. However, when the needle is inserted and the plunger of the syringe is pulled, no blood entered the barrel of the syringe. This caused the blood to not enter the syringe. Give one possible reason why this happens. Why?
Right common carotid artery is _
Left common carotid artery is _
Common iliac artery is _
Superior messenteric artery is _
Inferior messenteric artery is _
Gonada artery is _
The thoracic aorta is _
The celiac (artery) trunk is _
The abdominal aorta is _
The splenic artery is _
Renal artery is _
Common hepatic artery is _
Right coronary artery is _
Left coronary artery is _
The Brachiocephalic trunk is _
The ascending aorta is _
Right subclavian artery is _
Left subclavian artery is _
Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: Tracing the blood from the heart to the right hand, we find that blood leaves the heart and passes through the aorta, the right subclavian artery, the axillary and brachial arteries, and through either the radial or ulnar artery to arrive at the hand.Which artery is missing from this sequence? (a) coronary, (b) brachiocephalic, (c) cephalic, (d) right common carotid.

Her friends brought her to the emergency department of Tology Hospital, not one hour later. Unfortunately, she was declared dead-on-arrival, and upon autopsy, her cause of death is consistent with that of aneurysm (heart).

While she was at work today a large box of metal rivets fell from a 20-ft.-high overhead shelf, striking her outstretched arm and knocking her to the ground. The ambulance personnel reported that she had lost quite a bit of blood at the accident scene and was “knocked out” when they arrived. To minimize further hemorrhage, the paramedics applied a pressure bandage to her arm. You meet the paramedics as they bring Mrs. Morgan into the emergency room and begin to assess her for injuries. She is awake and alert, but complaining of severe left arm and back pain, plus she has a “killer headache.” To fully examine her injuries you remove four blood-soaked bandages from her arm.

- Joe had experienced a recent respiratory infection but felt he was responding well to over-the-counter medications. He still had a low-grade fever, however. He was awakened during the night with pain in the thoracic region. Fearful that the symptoms might indicate a heart attack, he called 911 and was transported to the emergency department. On the way to the hospital, the paramedic advised Joe that his EKG was normal. After all tests for cardiac illness and pathology returned negative, Joe was sent home on antibiotics, pain medication, and with recommended bed rest.
