dural venous sinus drainage
- superior and inferior sagittal sinuses connected by straight sinus
- great cerebral vein
- transverse sinus to sigmoid sinus through jugular foramen to internal jugular vein
- pterygoid plexus through emmissaries to cavernous sinus
- opthalmics to cavnerous sinus through jugular foramen through superior and inferior petrosal sinuses

- saphenous: medial leg
- sural/klateral sural: lateral leg
- sural/superficial fibular: lateral foot
- deep fibular: flipflop area between big and second toes

cutaneous nerve fields of face
- apex of skull to lower eyelid, top of nose: trigeminal, ophthalmic
- supra-orbital, supratrochlear, infratrochlear, lacrimal, external nasal
- temporal region, cheek bones, sides of nose, upper lip: trigeminal, maxillary
- zygomatico-temporal, zygomaticofacial, infra-orbital
- front of ear, sides of face, jaw line: trigeminal, mandibular
- auriculotemporal, buccal, mental
- sides of neck, psoterior ear: anterior rami great auricular (C2, C3)
- back of head: greater occipital (C3)

meningeal coverings of the central nervous system
- dura mater: infolding creates falx cerebri
- periosteal: against the skull
- meningeal: divides cerebellum
- arachnoid mater
- pia mater: bonded to CNS

genu valgum
- “coxa vara”
- knock-knee
- decreased level angle of inclination (<125)

genu varum
- coxa valga
- increased angle of inclination (>125)
- bow-legged

anteversion
- increased angle of torsion
- pigion toed

retroversion
- decreased angle of torsion
- duck feet

autonomic ganglion
- oculomotor: ciliary ganglion
- facial: pterygopalatine, submandibular
- glossopharyngeal: otic
- vagus: neurons in/near viscera
oculomotor autonomic innervation
- ciliary ganglion
- ciliary bodies/muscle (lens accomodation)
- sphincter pupillae of iris (constriction)

facial autonomic innervation
- pterygopalatine, submandibular (cry, snot, spit)
- lacrimal mucosa glands of nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses
- roof of mouth, soft palate, nasopharynx
- submandibular and sublingual glands

glossopharyngeal autonomic innervation
- otic
- parotid gland

vagus autonomic innervation
- neurons in/near viscera
- smooth muscle viscera up to splenic flexure

glenohumeral joint dislocation
- anterior (95%)
- inferior joint capsule not reinforced by rotator cuff or ligaments
- vulnerable when arm is in abduction
radial head dislocation
- Nurse Maid’s Elbow
- pediatric
- radial head subluxation from annular ligament
hip and femoral head dislocation
- posterior dislocation outnumbers anterior dislocation 9:1
- most often in motor vehicle accidents from pressure on distal femur
- injures posterior acetabulum/labrum and (most critically) sciatic nerves
intervertebral disc herniation
- nucleus pulposus leaks from anulus fibrosus posterolaterally
- generally affects nerve below the herniation
- can cause Trendelenburg gait if affecting superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
