You are assessing the circulation in the leg of a diabetic patient at the clinic. Name the artery you palpate in each of these three locations: behind the knee, behind the medial malleolus of the tibia, on the dorsum of the foot.
when a nurse measures your pulse rate on the neck, just inferior to the angle (corner) of the mandible they are using which specific artery?
The anatomical guide for the ulnar artery states that it lies:
Lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and medial to the tendon of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle.
Medial to the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and lateral to the tendon of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle.
Lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle.
Directly medial and deep to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle.
The artery which terminates at the inferior border of the teres major muscle is the:
Subclavian
Vertebral
Axillary
Brachial
The linear guide for the common carotid artery may be described as a point from the __________ to the anterior surface of the lobe of the ear.
Mastoid process of the temporal bone
Sternocleidomastoid muscle
Sternocleidomastoid articulation
Sternocleidomastoid artifact

- Palpating a Superficial Pulse The pulse rate is the number of pulse per minute measured by palpating on superficial artery. The pulse may be felt easily on any superficial artery when the artery is compressed over a bone or firm tissue. Palpate the pulse by placing the fingertips of the first two or three fingers of one hand over the radial artery. It helps to compress the artery firmly as you begin your palpation and then immediately ease up on the pressure slightly. Notice the regularity of the pulse, and assess the degree of tension or amplitude. With your sitting quietly, practice counting the radial pulse for 1 minute. Make three counts and average the results. Upload your results in the correct file format: docx, PDF, Jeg or PNG. If you do not know how to measure pulse rate watch this video.

- Trace the journey of a drop of blood starting from the right atrium, continuing to the right thumb, and returning to the right atrium. This would include a trip through the heart. Be sure to identify both the arterial and venous vessels as well as all of the relevant structures within the heart. Considering the online nature of this exam, drawings are not required.
