Which vein is considered a superficial vein of the lower extremity?

Describe Virchow’s Triad and give a specific example of each component.  There should be each section of Virchow’s Triad specifically listed with an example of each.

Which vessels normally have two veins with one artery?

Squeezing an extremity distal to the area of interrogation is known as: 

Based upon your knowledge of peripheral vascular anatomy, which structure is visualized below and pointed out by the blue arrow?  

Which of the following parameters will most dramatically alter the volume of flow across a vessel? Hint: Think about the equation you learned about regarding the volume of flow.

An increased resistive index with absent diastolic flow in the common carotid artery may signify which of the following? (Think about drawing this waveform – what does a waveform look like when it has a very high RI and NO diastolic flow? – think about a low RI waveform and now get rid of the diastolic flow component if it’s absent – does this increase the resistivity – what does this waveform tell you?)
