Q

most common site of BLUNT AORTIC INJURY

and MCC of this

A
AORTIC ISTHMUS (just distal to L subclavian a.)
because it is tethered by the ligamentum arteriosum and is thus immobile relative to other parts of aorta

mcc is CAR CRASH with SUDDEN DECELERATION > stretching + torsional forces on aorta + heart

CN V/1 - ophthalmic
CN V/2 - maxillary

ICA

17
Q

serratus anterior

innervation (spinal segments) ? action + dysfunction?

A

long thoracic n. (C5-7)

scapula protraction

winging of scapula when outstretched hands pressed against wall = sign of dysfunction

18

origin (plexus + segments)? innervates what?

A

brachial plexus, lateral cord, C5-C7

innervates biceps, coracobrachialis, and brachialis

gives LATERAL CUTANEOUS NERVE OF FOREARM

(articular branches to elbow joint + humerus)

19
Q

4 muscles of rotator cuff

innervation + attachment

A
  1. Supraspinatus - suprascapular nerve; gr. tuberosity
  2. Infraspinatus - suprascapular nerve; gr. tuberosity
  3. Teres minor - axillary n.; greater tuberosity
  4. Subscapularis - upper/lower subscapular nerves; lesser tuberosity
20
Q

Lateral-to-medial order of 4 important structures emerging from under inguinal ligament

Clinical significance?

A
Lateral
1. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
2. Femoral nerve
3. Femoral artery
4. Femoral vein
Medial

remember “NAV” for the big 3 - femoral lines can be placed in the vein by palpating the arterial pulse + inguinal ligament and cannulation 1 cm below ligament and 0.5-1.0 cm medial to pulse

21
Q

What structures run thru the optic canal? (3)

A

CN II (optic n.)
ophthalmic artery
central retinal vein

22
Q

What structures run thru the superior orbital fissure?

6

A
CN III
CN IV (trochlear)
CN V1 (ophthalmic)
CN VI (abducens)

sympathetic fibers
ophthalmic vein

23
Q

what structure runs thru the foramen rotundum?

A

CN V2 maxillary

24
Q

What structure runs thru the foramen ovale?

A

CN V3 mandibular

25
Q

what runs thru the foramen spinosum?

A

middle meningeal artery + vein

26
Q

what runs thru the jugular foramen?

A

CN IX, X, XI and jugular vein

27
Q

acronym for retroperitoneal abdominal organs

which are “secondary retroperitoneal”?

A

SADPUCKER

Suprarenal glands
Aorta + IVC
Duodenum* (except 1st part)
Pancreas*
Ureter
Colon* (asc. + desc.)
Kidneys
Esophagus
Rectum (mid-distal)

*secondary retroperitoneal - develop intraperitoneal and migrate retro

28
Q

Blood supply of ureters

Small branches from 5 different arteries supply the ureter; list them proximal to distal

A
  1. Renal
  2. Gonadal
  3. Common iliac
  4. Internal iliac
  5. Vesical
29
Q

How far along the respiratory tract do GOBLET CELLS extend?

A

only to the level of the larger PROXIMAL BRONCHIOLES

beyond that, only serous fluid coats the mucosa

30
Q

How far along the respiratory tract do CILIATED EPITHELIAL CELLS extend?

A

to the level of the RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES

but they do become less prevalent distally along the tract

31
Q

How far along the respiratory tract is there CARTILAGE?

What other component of the respiratory mucosa follows a similar pattern?

A

through all the BRONCHI … the the smallest bronchi, but not in the bronchioles

(rings in trachea, plates in bronchi)

SUBMUCOSAL / SEROUS GLANDS also extend to the end of the bronchi

32
Q

Where in the respiratory tract do ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES begin to appear?

A

in the RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES

so they are not just “alveolar”

33
Q

Which femoral condyle does the ACL attach to? and PCL?

A

ACL - LATERAL femoral condyle (to anterior intercondylar tibia)

PCL - MEDIAL femoral condyle (to posterior intercondylar tibia)

34
Q

deep inguinal ring

opening in what? bounded by what?

A

opening in TRANSVERSALIS FASCIA

bounded by TRANSVERSALIS muscle laterally and INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC vessels medially

(testes descend thru here)

35
Q

superficial inguinal ring

is an opening in what?

A

EXTERNAL OBLIQUE MUSCLE APONEUROSIS

36
Q

what is the conjoint tendon?

what space is it a boundary for?

A

common tendon of TRANSVERSUS ABDOMINIS and INTERNAL OBLIQUE mm.

forms part of posterior wall of inguinal canal

37
Q

ophthalmic artery is a branch of what?

A

ICA

first branch after cavernous sinus part

38

A

PCL - on the medial side of the MEDIAL FEMORAL CONDYLE

ACL - on the medial side of the LATERAL FEMORAL CONDYLE

“PM AL” - in the nighttime (PM) Al ruptured his cruciate ligaments
