Anatomy

Question 1

1. When reviewing brain, WHAT do you look for?
2. Lateral Ventricles look like?
3. Falix Located / looks like?

Answer 1

1. Symmetry R&L
   - Midline Shift
2. Twin Bananas
3. Straight line at midline

Question 2

1. How remember arteries of aortic Arch?
2. How remember pineal vs pituitary location?
3. Nnuemonic for cranial bones?

Answer 2

1. ABCS
   - A= Aortic Arch
   - B= Brachial Artery
   - C = Common Carotid Artery
   - S = Subclavian Artery
2. pINeal = IN BRAIN
   - Pituitary = External
3. EMILY FOUND PIECE ON THE SHORE
   ETHMOID
   FRONTAL
   OCCIPITAL
   TEMPORAL
   SPHENOID

Question 3

1. How remember Gray vs White matter in brain?
2. How remember locations of cranial bones?
3. How remember major organs of abdominal quadrants?

Answer 3

1. PALM OF HAND
   INNER PALM WHITER = INNER AREA WHITE MATTER
   OUTER HAND DARKER = OUTTER GRAY MATTER
2. FIST
   - 4 Fingers = 4 lobes
   - Frontal = front of hand
   - Parietal = Point of knuckles
   - Occipital = outer hand
   - Temporal = Thumb / On Side
3. GLASS PAN
   RUQ = Gallbladder & Liver
   RLQ = Appendix
   LUQ = Stomach, Spleen, Pancreas
   LLQ = Intestines & Colon

Question 4

1. Parts of Circle of Willis?
2. How remember ?

Answer 4

1. Anterior cerebral
   - anterior communicating
   - middle cerebral
   - posterior communicating
   - posterior cerebral
   - internal carotid
   - basilar
   - Vertebral
2. DRAW
   Upside down V = Vertebral
   B = Basillar (Basil in a POT)
   Ps. from side of B = Pontine
   Big Ps from B = Posterior Cerebral
   2 eyes at top = “Is” for internal carotid
   lines from side of eyes = ophthalmic
   M Eyebrows = Middle Cerebral
   A connecting eyes = anterior cerebral
   line in A = anterior communicating
   Ps connecting eyes to posterior Ps = Posterior communicating arteries

Question 5

1. Remember order of heart valves?
2. Veins vs Arteries?
3. What side heart oxygenated?
   - Not?

Answer 5

1. TOILET PAPER MY ASS
   TRICUSPID
   PULMONARY
   MITRIAL / BICUSPID
   AORTIC

• or TRICYCLE BEFOR BICYCLE

2. Veins TOWARD
   - ARTERIES AWAY
3. Right = unox
   L = oxygenated (LEFT = L = LUNG = OXYGEN)

Question 6

1. Mnemonic for external carotid arteries:
2. DRAW ARTERIES STICK FIGURE

Answer 6

1. SOME ADULTS LOVE FREAKING OUT POOR MED STUDENTS
   - Superior Thyroid
   Lingual
   Facial
   Occipital
   Posterior Aur
   Maxillary
   Superficial
   Temporal
2. Internal Carotid
   - External Carotid
   - Common Carotid
   - R & L Subclavian (arm/shoulder)
   - Ascending Aorta (from heart)
   - R&L Brachial (Arms/Biceps)
   - Straight line for torso leads off:
   - Descending Thoracic Aorta (level mid heart)
   - Diaphragm
   - Descending Abdominal Aprta (below diaphragm)
   - Celiac Trunk
   - Superior Mesentaric
   - Suprarenal (T12/Kidney level)
   - Renal Arteries
   - Gonadal Arteries
   - Lumbar Arteries
   - Inferior Mesenteric
   - Common iliac (pelvis)
   - R & L iliac
   - Femoral, Popiteal

Question 7

Blood Flow Through Heart:

Answer 7

1. Superior & Inferior Vena Cava
2. Right Atrium
   3 Tricuspid Valve
3. Right Ventricle
4. Pulmonary Valve
5. Pulmonary Artery
6. Lungs
   BECOME OXYGENATED
7. Pulmonary Veins
8. Left Atrium
9. Bicuspid / Mitral Valve
10. Left Ventricle
11. Aortic Valve
12. Aorta
