Anatomy Flashcards
Parotid gland Travels
Through masseter and pierces bucinnator to end at stenson’s duct at level of 2nd molar
Nerves that lie anterior to parotid
Facial - the zebra buggered my car
(temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular, cervical)
Auriculotemporal nerve (branch of V3)
Vessels that lie anterior to parotid
External Carotid Artery
Retromandibular Vein
Innervation of parotid
Parasympathetic = watery, copious saliva Sympathetic = enzyme rich saliva Sensory = greater auricular nerve
Drains into Deep cervical lymph nodes
Reflex aid
S1-2 = ankle L3-4 = knee C5-6 = biceps C7-8 = triceps
Attachments of triceps
Long head = infraglenoid tubercle
Medial and lateral head = M and L of radial groove
Insert to olecranon process of ulna
NB between M & L lies radial nerve and profundii brachii

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (AD)
aka von Recklinghausen's disease: CATCHES Cafe au lait (>6) Axillary freckling Tumours of nervous system Cutaneous neurofibromata HTN Eye features (lisch nodules) Scoliosis
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (AD)
Bilateral acoustic neuromas (key)
Other tumours of nervous system
Fewer cutaneous features
Borders of Hesselbach’s triangle
Lateral = Inferior epigastric artery Inferior = Inguinal ligament Medial = Linea semilunaris (lateral border of rectus muscle)
Within = direct hernia (so inferior to inferior epigastric artery)
Richter’s hernia
Only part of bowel herniates meaning strangulation can occur without obstruction. More common in femoral hernia
Deep ring
Opens at midpoint of inguinal ligament into transversalis fascia
Inguinal canal - MALT
Start superiorly
Roof = Muscles - internal oblique and transversus abdominis
