Curry: Sonography, 3rd Edition
Chapter 09: The Inferior Vena Cava
Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
ANS: B
The IVC is considered to have four sections, from superior to inferior: hepatic,
prerenal, renal, and postrenal.
REF: pg. 161 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Anatomy and physiology
2. From inferior to superior, identify the veins that converge into the IVC.
a. Common iliac veins, lumbar veins, renal veins, and left and right suprarenal
veins
b. Common iliac veins, lumbar veins, renal veins, right gonadal vein, and hepatic
veins
c. Hepatic veins, renal veins, left and right gonadal veins, and left and right
suprarenal veins
d. External iliac veins, left suprarenal vein, right gonadal vein, renal veins, and
hepatic veins
ANS: B
Inferiorly, the IVC is formed by the common iliac veins. Moving superiorly, the
lumbar veins empty into the IVC, followed by the renal veins, right gonadal vein,
and hepatic veins. The left gonadal vein and left suprarenal vein frequently empty
directly into the left renal vein, not the IVC. The right gonadal vein is slightly
superior to the right renal vein and most often empties directly into the IVC as well.
ANS: B
The inferior phrenic veins, the most superior branches of the IVC, drain the
diaphragm.
ANS: C
The normal adult IVC is 2.5 cm in diameter. The diameter increases with the
Valsalva maneuver or inspiration and commonly decreases during expiration.
REF: pg. 163 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Anatomy and physiology
ANS: D
The venous circulatory system is a low pressure system compared to the arterial
system. The momentum of the blood during systole forces the venous valves to open
as the blood is pushed forward. Also, blood is pulled toward the right atrium by a
decrease in thoracic pressure.
REF: pg. 163 OBJ: Discuss the function of the IVC. TOP: Anatomy
and physiology
6. In a transverse scanning plane image, the left renal vein can be seen as a(n)
a. straight structure posterior to the SMA.
b. axial structure near the left kidney.
c. longitudinal, curvilinear structure anterior to the aorta.
d. oval structure that empties into the medial IVC.
ANS: C
In a transverse scanning plane, the left renal vein is seen as a longitudinal,
curvilinear structure that courses anterior to the aorta and posterior to the SMA and
empties into the IVC.
7. In a sagittal scanning plane, the right renal artery can be seen as a(n)
a. longitudinal, curvilinear structure anterior to the axial IVC.
b. straight structure posterior to the AO.
c. round, short axis structure posterior to the longitudinal IVC.
d. oval structure anterior to the longitudinal IVC.
ANS: C
In a sagittal scanning plane, the right renal artery is seen as a round, short axis
structure posterior to the IVC.
8. Where should the transducer be placed to visualize the common iliac veins?
a. On the right and left groin areas
b. Near the umbilicus
c. At the symphysis pubis
d. None of the above
ANS: B
The common iliac veins are most easily visualized in the transverse scanning plane at
approximately the level of the umbilicus, before they converge to form the IVC.
REF: pg. 165 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Anatomy and physiology
TRUE/FALSE
ANS: F
The hepatic veins demonstrate nondescript, or “naked,” walls.
ANS: T
The hepatic veins often can be seen in the most superior portion of the liver as
anechoic, linear structures with nondescript walls. They originate in the liver and
empty into the IVC.
3. Echoes thought to be associated with blood flow sometimes can be seen in the
IVC. ____
ANS: T
Small moving echoes often are visualized in the lumen of the IVC.
ANS: F
The IVC sometimes may appear to course through the superior portion of the liver,
but it actually courses posterior to the liver.
REF: pg. 163 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Anatomy and physiology
5. The hepatic veins can best be seen in the superior section of the liver. ____
ANS: T
The hepatic veins often can be seen in the most superior portion of the liver as
anechoic, linear structures with nondescript walls. They originate in the liver and
empty into the IVC.
ANS: F
The gonadal veins are not consistently imaged with ultrasound.
ANS: T
The renal veins are consistently recognized with ultrasound.
ANS: F
The lumbar veins are not consistently imaged with ultrasound.
ANS: F
The inferior phrenic veins are too small to be readily seen with ultrasound.
ANS: T
The hepatic veins are routinely visualized with ultrasound.
OBJ: Discuss the sonographic appearance of the IVC and commonly visualized
tributaries.
TOP: Sonographic characteristics
11. The left common iliac vein is easily seen on ultrasound. ____
ANS: T
The common iliac veins are most easily visualized with ultrasound.
ANS: T
The hepatic veins are routinely visualized with ultrasound.
COMPLETION
Indicate whether the IVC is posterior (P), anterior (A), medial (M), or lateral (L) to
the structure.
1. Intestines ____
ANS: P
The IVC is posterior to the intestines.
REF: pg. 160 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Structure orientation
ANS: P
The IVC is posterior to the body of the liver.
REF: pg. 160 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Structure orientation
ANS: M
The IVC is medial to the right kidney.
REF: pg. 160 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.

4. Aorta ____
ANS: L
The IVC courses to the right of the aorta (right lateral).
REF: pg. 160 OBJ: Discuss the normal location and course of the IVC.
TOP: Structure orientation
ANS: P
The IVC courses posterior to the hepatic veins.

After the battle was over the priest called those who survived, and
enquired of each if he had killed anyone, or taken any prisoners. All
who had been in battle before delivered up their weapons to him,
who deposited them in the house where they were kept. Those who
had fought for the first time were called and asked if they had killed
anyone. If the person addressed replied in the affirmative, the priest
demanded his mere—stone battle-axe—and broke it into pieces.
This was the invariable custom with young warriors when they had
imbued their hands in the blood of their enemies. The priest having
afterwards assembled them together, used the following words,
which were called the Haha:
“This is the wind, the wind is feeding;
The wind descends,
The wind is prosperous,
The many sacred things of Tu.
The wind descends,
The wind is prosperous,
The living wind of Tu.”
“I am Cucutle!
The warriors have passed singing,
The hymn of the battle has passed by me;
It has passed, despising my childhood,
p , p g y ,
And has stopped before the door of Bonkauku.
I am the black warrior.
My mother is Boseleso!
I will rush as a lion,
Like him that devours the virgins
Near the forests of Fubasekoa.
Mapatsa is with me—
Mapatsa, the son of Tele—
We set off singing the song of the Trot.
Ramakoala, my uncle, exclaims:
Cucutle, where shall we fight?
We will fight before the fires of Makoso.
We arrive....
The warriors of the enemy, ranged in a line,
Fling their javelins together;
They fatigue themselves in vain:
The father of Moatla rushes into their midst,
He wounds a man in the arm
Before the eyes of his mother,
Who sees him fall,
Ah! Where is the head of the son of Sebegoane?
It has rolled to the middle of his native town.
I entered victorious into his dwelling,
And purified myself in the midst of his sheepfold:
My eye is still surrounded with the clay of the victory.
The shield of Cucutle has been pierced;
Those of his enemies are intact,
For they are the shields of cowards.
I am the white thunder
Which growls after the rain!
Ready to return to my children,
I roar: I must have prey!
I see the flocks and herds escaping
Across the tufted grass of the plain;
I take them from the shepherd with the white and yellow shield.
Go up on the high rocks of Macate;
See the white cow run into the midst of the herd.
A Makose will no longer despise my club;
The grass grows in his deserted pens,
The wind sweeps the thatch
From his ruined huts;
The humming of the goats is the only noise that is heard
In his town, once so gay.
Tired, and dying with thirst, I went to the dwelling of Entele;
His wife was churning delicious milk,
The foam of which was white and frothy
Like the saliva of a little child.
I picked up a piece of a broken pot
To drink out of the vessel,
Which I soon left empty.
The white cow that I conquered
Has a black head;
Her breast is high and open—
It was the nurse of the son of Matayane—
I will go and offer it to my prince.
The name of my chief is Makao,
And Makao is Makoo:
I swear it by the striped ox
Of Mamasike!”
