Anatomy and Surgery 3 Flashcards
Boundary between CNS and PNS
Anterior horn cells
Connects the R and L brain
Corpus callosum
Most inferior part of the brain
Cerebellar tonsils
Broca’s Area
Brodmann 44,45 - opercular/triangular parts of inferior frontal gyrus
Wernicke’s Area
Brodmann’s Area 22 - superior temporal gyrus
Major arteries in 4 vessel angiography
R and L internal carotids, R and L vertebral arteries
White matter and Gray matter: brain vs spinal cord
Brain - white inside, grey outside. Spinal Cord - white outside, grey inside.
Total number of bones in the skeletal system
206
Cube shaped bones that contain mostly spongy bone
Short bones - carpals, tarsals
Shaft of the bone
Diaphysis - compact bone
Ends of the bone
Epiphysis - spongy bone
Decreases friction at joint surfaces
Articular cartilage - made of hyaline cartilage
Gives rise to the bone, cartilages and muscle
Mesoderm
Classification of joints based on mobility
Synarthroses - immoveable. Amphiarthroses - slightly moveable. Diarthroses - freely moveable.
Example of pivot joints
C1 and C2
Examples of fibrous joints
Sutures, syndesmoses
Example of cartilaginous joints
Pubic symphysis, intervertebral joinys
Gomphosis is what kind of joint?
Tooth and socket of mandible and maxilla - synarthrosis/immoveable fibrous joint
Kind of synovial joint: wrist
Ellipsoidal
Synovial joint: carpometacarpal of thumb
Saddle
Synovial joint: shoulder, hip
Ball and socket
Synovial joint: atlantoaxial, radioulnar
Pivot
Structures covered by axillary fascia
Axillary vein, axillary artery, brachial plexus
Weakest area of rotator cuff muscles
Inferior, prone to dislocation - axillary nerve affected
