● Internal Jugular Veins : An imaginary guideline for the Internal Jugular Veins is from the sternoclavicular articulation to the ear lobes, angles of the mandible, or the mastoid processes of the temporal bones. The Internal Jugular Veins lie lateral and superficial to the Common Carotid Arteries. ● Brachiocephalic or Innominate Veins: An imaginary guideline for the Brachiocephalic or Innominate Veins is from a point just posterior to the sternoclavicular articulation, and posterior to the right margin of the sternum at the first intercostal space. Improper positioning of the neck obstructs the flow of blood through these veins during the embalming process, creating discoloration in the face and/or frogging of the neck. ● Superior Vena Cava: An imaginary guideline for the Superior Vena Cava is from a point just posterior to the sternum in the first intercostal space, to a point to the right margin of the sternum at the third intercostal space. This enters in the formation of the right atrium of the heart. This is the site of importance to the practitioner who must retrieve blood samples from tissue donors. ● Axillary Vein: An imaginary guideline for the Axillary Vein is a point at the middle of the lateral boundary of the base of the axillary space, to a point at the center of the axillary space (hairline). A continuation of the Brachial/Basilic Vein, which terminates at the outer border of the first rib. ● Brachial/Basilic Vein: An imaginary guideline for the Brachial/Bacilic Vein is along bicipital groove between the bicep and tricep muscles. The vein lies above the brachial artery, and provides a visual landmark for the artery. ● Inferior Vena Cava: An imaginary guideline for the Inferior Vena Cava is a point 1 inch inferior to the umbilicus and right of the vertebral column, and extends inferiorly 6 to 8 inches sloping laterally from the midline approximately 1 inch. The Inferior Vena Cava bifurcates at the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae. To be correct, the origin of the Inferior Vena Cava is the union of the Right and Left Common Iliac Veins at the 3rd or 4th lumbar vertebrae. (The venous system begins at the most distal points and flows toward the heart.)
● Common Iliac and External Iliac Veins: An imaginary guideline of the Common Iliac and External Iliac, is from a point 1/2-inch medial to the middle third of the inguinal ligament (poupart’s ligament), to a point 1-inch below the umbilicus and slightly to the right of the vertebrae column. The lower half of these guidelines represents the External Iliac Veins, and the upper half represents the Common Iliac Veins. ● Femoral Veins: An imaginary guideline of the Femoral Veins is from the medial epicondyle of the femur (knee joint) to a point 1/2-inch medial to the middle third of the inguinal ligament (poupart’s ligament). The upper 2/3 represents the Femoral Vein. ● Abdominal Aorta: An imaginary guideline for the Abdominal Aorta is from a point 1/2 inch below (posterior) and 1/2-inch to the left of the umbilicus in an upward direction for 5 or 6 inches, gradually sloping toward the median line (vertebrae). The Abdominal Aorta terminates at the 3rd and 4th vertebrae where it bifurcates into the right and left Common Iliacs. Can be used as a site for infant embalming. ● Common Iliac and External Iliac: An imaginary guideline for the Common Iliac and External Iliac, is from 1/2-inch below and 1/2-inch to the left of the umbilicus to a point 1/2-inch medial to the middle of the right or left inguinal ligaments. The upper halves of these linear guidelines will represent the linear guidelines for the Common Iliac Arteries, and the lower halves of the linear guideline will represent the linear guidelines for the External Iliacs. ● Common Iliac and the Internal Iliac: An imaginary guideline for the Common Iliac and Internal Iliac, is from 1/2-inch below and 1/2-inch to the left of the umbilicus to a point 1-1/2 to 2-inches to the bifurcation of the External and Internal Iliacs (hypogastric). (Which sends numerous branches to the buttocks, pelvic walls, pelvic viscera and the external genitalia).A common problem is if the Internal Iliac is nicked or cut during a post mortem examination.
