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?
