General Anatomy Flashcards
Superior mesenteric artery pierces what organ?
Superior mesenteric artery pierces the
pancreas
At what level does the aorta cross the diaphragm
T12
At what level does the epidural space start?
From the foramen magnum To S2 - sacral hiatus
Blood supply of the spleen
Splenic, superior and inferior pancreatoduodenal arteries.
Borders of the femoral triangle
Lateral border = Medial border of sartorius Superior border = inguinal ligament Medial border = adductor longus
Branches of the femoral artery
Descending genicular Profunda femoris Superficial and deep external pudendal arteries Superficial epigastric Superficial circumflex iliac
Clinical effect of injury to the femoral nerve
Quadriceps muscle weakness –> weak knee extension. Anterior thigh numbness. Decreased / absent knee jerk
Clinical effect of injury to the sciatic nerve
Affects all muscles below the knee. Foot drop, loss of knee flexion. Inability to walk. Loss of ankle jerk Normal knee jerk

Functions of the phrenic nerve
motor to the diaphragm sensory to the fibrous pericardium, mediastinal pleura, and diaphragmatic peritoneum.
How many types of pleura are there + what are they called
2 Parietal and visceral
Innervation of the diaphragm
Phrenic nerve - C345
Insertion of iliacus
Arises from iliac fossa And ASIS
Insertion of the diaphragm
Xiphoid cartilage of the sternum, inner surface of the lower 6 ribs Arcuate ligaments posteriorly
