Chamberlain Review Flashcards
At which spinal level does the spinal cord end? The dural sac?
L2
S2
What happens to the notochord in the adult? What happens to the neural tube?
Nucleus pulposus of disc
Becomes the ventricles and central canal of spinal cord.
The neural crest cells go on to form what?
The peripheral nervous system
What are the muscles supplied by the radial nerve? (BEST)
Brachioradialis (perfect for holding beer), extensors, supinators, triceps
The radius articulates with which carpal bones?
Scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum
What are the landmarks of the anatomical snuffbox?
Extensor pollicis longus and brevis
What are the muscles supplied by median nerve? (L(L)OAF)
Lumbricals 1 & 2 (LL)
Opponens pollicis
Abductor pollicis brevis
Flexor pollicis brevis
Intrinsic muscles of the hand: All for one and one for all.
Thenar: Abductor pollicis longus, Flexor pollicis brevis, Opponens pollicis, Adductor pollicis brevis
Hypothenar: Opponens digit minimi, flexor digiti minimi, abductor digiti minimi
Where does flexor digitorum superficialis (middle layer) and flexor digitorum profundus (deep layer) insert?
Superficialis, splits and inserts on middle phalanges
Profundus, inserts in distal phalanges (deep layer)
Insertions on the extensor side of the hand begin where?
At the MCP, the extensor expansion
Name the condition: Chronic irritation causes a nodule to form along the flexor tendons preventing smooth action of the tendon and may lock finger in flexed position.
Trigger finger
Name the condition: lost extensor connection to distal phalanx, can’t extend distal phalanx

What do the the palmar and dorsal interossei do?
PAD
DAP

Radial n.
Ulnar n.
Median n.
Drop
Claw
Ape hand/Apostol - loss of flexion of metacarpal 1,2,3, weak flexion of 4, 5, can’t bring thumb and pinky to touch.
Name the hand fracture:
FOOSH on extended hand
FOOSH on flexed hand
Colle’s - dinner fork deformity
Smith’s
The neural crest cells go on to form what structures?
CAlifornia MOTEL PASS: Craniofacial structures Arachnoid, pia Melanocytes Odontoblasts Tracheal cartilage Enterochromaffin cells - Adrenal medulla Laryngeal cartilage Parafollicular C cells/Pseudounipolar cells All ganglia Schwann cells Spiral septum -Aorticopulmonary septum
Describe the SSX of neurofibromatosis type 1.
Cafe au lait, iris pigmentation (lisch nodules), neurofibromas

What are the functions of the following areas of the nucleus: Superchiasmatic Paraventricular Anterior Posterior Lateral Medial
Circadian rhythm Oxytocin release Cooling (radiator) Heating (exhaust) Hunger (gas cap) Satiety (gas tank)
MC form of spina bifida.
Occulta - hair
Spinous process terminates at a higher level.
