Anatomy Flashcards
Retroperitoneal hematoma in STABLE patient most likely due to?
Pancreatic injury
Most common duodenal ulcer location and presentation?
Anteriorly - perf; If posterior, more likely to erode gastroduodenal artery -> hemorrhage
Femoral neck fx frequently damages what vessel?
MEDIAL femoral circumflex artery -> avascular necrosis of femoral head
Rotator cuff muscles?
SITS - supraspinatus, infrapinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
Most commonly injured rotator cuff syndrome structure?
Tendon of supraspinatus muscle - empty can test
Nursemaid’s elbow affects what structure?
Radial head subluxation b/c of sudden traction of outstretched and pronated arm. Annular ligament is torn and displaced. Deep branch of radial nerve is often damaged –> wrist drop
ACL and PCL in relation to fibula?
ACL attaches from fibula(lateral)-side of femur to medial part of tibia. Lateral impact ACL! PCL attaches from medial-epicondyle of femur to middle-part of tibia.
Trendelenburg gait?
Hip drops when ipsilateral foot lifted. Injury to contralateral superior gluteal nerve or gluteus medius muscle (outside hip can’t contract)
Transverse spinal cord sections
Higher cervical cord is ovoid.
Thoracic cord and L2 has intermediolateral cell columns (lateral grey matter horns)
Lower cord has LARGE ventral horns and less white matter.
What neves go through the jugular foramen?
CN IX, X, XI, and jugular vein
Pharyngeal pouch III
Parathyroid gland (inf.) and thymus
Pharyngeal pouch IV
Parathyroid gland (sup.) and ultimo-branchilal body
Pharyngeal pouch II
Palatine tonsil
Pharyngeal pouch I
Epithelium of middle ear and auditory tube. Membrane -> tympanic membrane. Groove -> epithelium of external ear canal
Housemaid’s knee
Prepatellar bursa (btwn patella and skin and tendon).
Anserine bursitis
Pain along MEDIAL aspect. Overuse injury or chronic trauma. I PROLLY had this when running.
Cleft lip vs. cleft palate dvpt?
Cleft lip - maxillary prominences fail to fuse w/ intermaxillary segment. Cleft palate when palatine shelves of maxillary prominence fail to fuse with one another or with the primery palate.
Sites of ulnar nerve injury
Medial epicondyle of humerus OR Guyon’s canal near hook of hamate + pisiform bone of wrist
Superior thyroid artery close to nerve at risk during surgery
External branch of superior laryngeal nerve, which innervates the crycothyroid muscle. Recurrent laryngeal innervates the arytenoids and aryepiglotticus)
Direct vs. indirect inguinal hernias
Direct in Hesselbach’s triangle (rectus abdominis, inf. epigastric, inguinal ligament). Less prone to incarceration and don’t go down scrotum. Indirect are lateral to inf. epigastric arteries and are 2/2 to failure of obliteration of processes vaginalis –> protrusion in deep inguinal ring –> scrotum.
Sympathetic output to viscera how?
Two neuron set-up. Preganglionic synapse in chain w/ ACh-N. Postganglionic neurons releases NE in cleft of target organs. Adrenal glands are directly innervated and sweat glands innervated w/ post-ganglionic w/ Ach-Muscarinics.
Ectoderm derivatives
Neural tube -> CNS, POSTerior pituitary, pineal gland, retina. Neural crest -> ganglia, Schwann, pia and arachnoid, aorticoopulmonary septum and endocardial cushions, branchial arches, skull bones, melanocytes, adrenal medulla. Surface ectoderm -> Rathke’s pouch (ANT. pituitary), lens and cornea, inner ear, olfactory epithelium, nasal and oral epithelium, epiderms, salivary, sweat, and mammary glands.
