Adduction

failure for the lateral maxillary prominence to fuse with the medial nasal prominence
Reflexes: tendon tap sensed by _____
spindle afferents
Empty Can Test for _____
Supraspinatus
Lipsarcoma MC located in:
thigh and retroperitoneum
Malignant Hyperthermia
- Muscle rigidity due to intracellular release of and hypersensitivity to Ca2+ in skeletal muscle and generation of heat
- Soon after surgery w/ general anesthesia (especially inhaled anesthetics like halothane)
- AD inherited susceptibility
- Tx. Dantrolene: blocks ryanodine receptors preventing released of Ca into cytoplasm of muscle cells
Injection in superomedial quadrant of buttock may injure ______
Superior gluteal nerve (to gluteus medius and minimus)
Septic monoarthritis
caused by gonococcus usually (if not septic, most likely gout or pseudogout)
Middle meningial artery is a branch of:
maxillary artery
Osteomyelitis Causes:
- Hematogenous spread typically to Metaphysis
- In sickle cell disease → caused by salmonella
- In vertebral body (Pott’s disease) → caused by TB
Myosin light chain kinase and calmodulin
only in smooth muscle
Acute Gouty Arthritis Tx:
NSAID first (unless contraindicated), colchicine next (2nd line)
Bursitis: Prepateller and Anserine
- Prepatellar bursitis from kneeling
- Anserine bursa is medial
Bone Alkaline Phosphatase is Specific to:
Osteoblast activity
Osteocytes exchange nutrients and waste via:
gap junctions
PTH effect on Osteoblast vs Osteoclasts
acts on osteoclasts indirectly; acts directly on osteoblasts which will produce RANKL to stimulate osteoclasts
Golgi tendon Organ
- monitors and maintains a muscle force
- Sudden muscle relaxation if there is too much force
Muscle Spindle System
- feedback that monitors and maintains muscle length
- Reflexes (detects hyperextension)
Cori Disease
debranching enzyme deficiency; will see small dextrin like material
Guyton’s Canal
ulnar nerve runs between hook of hamate and the pisiform bone → injury will cause weakness on ulnar side of hand and intrinsic hand muscles
Injury to Ulnar Nerve near Medial epicondyle
Claw hand deformity
• Median (thumb) and Ulnar (pinky) Nerve problems: Proximal Lesion
can’t flex affected side
Median (thumb) and Ulnar (pinky) Nerve problems: Distal Lesion
can’t extend affected side
Phases of Pagets
- Osteoclast
- Mixed Clast and Blast
- Osteoblast
Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers
- Type I Fibers
- Red, lots of myoglobin and mitochondria
- in postural muscles (paraspinal) or soleus muscle
(Type IIa are intermediate, Type IIb are fast)
Artery that Runs w/ Radius Behind Humeral Shaft
Deep Brachial Artery
Myasthenic Crisis
When a patient is being undertreated for their condition
- edrophonium temporarily fixes improves their condition
- patient should be given a higher dose of their ACHE inhibitor
