Anatomy Flashcards
What are the symptoms of cubital tunnel?
Sensory/motor symptoms in the little finger / ulnar half of the ring finger / intrinsic muscles of the hand
What nerve is compressed in cubital tunnel?
Ulnar nerve
Who gets ulnar compression of Guyon’s canal
Cyclists
What nerve passes through Guyon’s canal
Ulnar
What is the clinical difference between cubital tunnel syndrome and Guyon’s cannal syndrome?
Motor symptoms and claw hand may be more pronounced in Guyon’s cannal, the back of the hand will have normal sensation and there will be no muscle wasting in the forearm
What nerve is affected in carpal tunnel?
Median
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel?
Numbness/tingling/burning in thumb, index and middle fingers and radial half of the ring finger +/- thumb muscle wasting
What injury is likely to result from an inversion of the ankle
Rupture of anterior talobular ligament
What injury might result from an eversion injury of the ankle
Deltoid ligament
What nerve is the cutaneous supply to the medial side of the leg?
Saphenous nerve
What muscle causes pain on active flexion of the hip (main flexor of the hip joint)?
Iliopsoas
What does the gluteus medius and minimus do?
Abduction of the hip (and keep the pelvis level)
When you lift your leg to the side, which gluteus medius and minimus contract?
The left
Where in the humerus might a fracture cause damage to the radial nerve
Midshaft fracture of humerus
What nerve might be damaged in a fracture of the anatomical neck of the humerus?
Axillary
What nerve might be damaged in a supracondylar fracture of humerus?
Medial nerve and brachial artery
What nerve causes wrist drop?
Radial
What nerve causes claw hand?
Ulnar
Describe the venous drainage of the leg (non-saphenous pathway)
Posterior tibial - popliteal - femoral - external iliac - common iliac
Where is the ligamentum flavum
Connecting the laminae of adjacent vertebrae
Where is the anterior longitudinal ligament
Running down the anterior surface of the spine, traversing all of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs
Where is the posterior longitudinal ligament
Within the vertebral canal, extending along the posterior surfaces of the bodies of the vertebrae
What nerve roots are involved in the ankle jerk reflex?
S1,2
What nerve roots are involved in the knee jerk reflex?
L3,4
What nerve roots are involved in the bicep reflex?
C5,6
What nerve roots are involved in the triceps reflex?
C7,8
What injury causes foot drop?
Fracture of the left neck of the bula
Damage to which nerve causes foot drop?
Common fibular
What nerve supplies the first web space?
Deep fibular nerve
What kind of symptoms would you get from a lumbar intervertebral disc pathology
Back pain, nerve root level pain etc
Internal capsule pathology causes ____peligia?
Hemiplegia
Where does the great saphenous vein lie in relation to the patella?
Posteriomedial
What is a swelling of the great saphenous vein called?
Phlebitis
What does the tibial nerve supply?
Posterior compartment of leg
When is compartment syndrome most painful?
On stretching (using the muscles on the opposite side to the compartment affected eg compartment syndrome in the anterior compartment of leg will cause pain when using posterior compartment/tibial nerve)
What can cause a Trendelenburg sign?
Congenital hip dislocation, total hip replacement etc
Damage to what nerve causes a Trendelenburg sign?
Superior gluteal nerve
What movement of the spine does not exacerbate spinal stenosis
Flexion eg walking uphill, cycling etc
What artery is the dorsalis pedis a continuation of?
Anterior tibial
Which artery is felt in the medial malleolus?
Posterior tibial
What do the posterior rami supply
Muscles and sensation to the back
What is another name for the precentral gyrus?
Primary somatomotor cortex
What cavity would you find the lumbosacral plexus in?
Pelvic cavity
Rupture of what tendon would cause weakness at the knee and unable to straight leg raise but pain-free weight-bearing
Quadriceps tendon
What will cause referred pain to the epigastric region?
Foregut
What will cause referred pain to the suprapubic region?
Hindgut
