OSPE Sims Flashcards
How to differentiate between left and right atrium
Unique features of right atrium
- pectinate muscles
- crista terminalis
- fossa ovalis
What are the vasculature leading into right atrium
Superior & Inferior vena cava
coronary sinus
what innervates deltoid and what other muscles does this nerve supply
axillary nerve; teres minor
what are the joints around the elbow
humeroradial joint
humeroulnar joint
proximal radial ulnar joint
What is the fossa at the elbow called
cubital fossa
what can be found at the cubital fossa
tendon of biceps brachii
brachial artery
median nerve
what attaches onto medial & lateral epicondyles
medial - flexor muscles
lateral - extensor muscles
What happens when scaphoid is fractured
blood vessels are damaged, potentially leading to avascular necrosis
what are the bones that flexor retinaculum sit on
scaphoid, pisiform, hamate, trapezium
what nerve is related to carpal tunnel syndrome
median nerve
what predominantly supplies superficial palmar arch
radial & ulnar artery
what unlocks the knee after fully flexing it
popliteus
what is psoas major made of
iliacus & iliopsoas muscle
what is the landmark muscle for sciatic nerve
piriformis
what is the sternomanubrium joint also called
sternal angle; angle of louis
which ribs are true ribs, false ribs & floating ribs
true ribs = 1 - 7
false ribs = 8 - 10
floating ribs = 11 - 12
what is the apex of the heart associated with
left ventricle
what muscles help to prevent prolapsing of the atrioventricular valves
papillary muscles and chordae tendineae
what is the main vein of the heart
coronary sinus
what innervates the diaphragm
phrenic nerves
what is the bifurcation of trachea known as
carina
what are the 3 main openings of the diaphragm
aortic hiatus
caval opening
esophageal opening
what is the part holding ribs 8 to 10
costal margin
what branch of vagus nerve wraps around aorta to ascend upwards
left recurrent laryngeal nerve
what is the tip of the sternum called
xiphoid process
how to differentiate between external & internal intercostal muscles
if moving downwards & medially = external intercostal muscle (V shape)
if moving upwards & medially = internal intercostal muscle (reverse V shape)
which rib articulates with sternal angle
rib 2
where does the intercostal veins, arteries & nerves run along
costal groove of a typical ribs
is the 1st rib a typical or atypical rib
atypical rib
what are the telltale signs of a rib being the 1st rib
shortest rib
most curved rib
flattest rib
what are atypical ribs
ribs 1, 11, 12
what differentiates ribs 11 & 12 from the rest except rib 1
no angle, tubercle or costal groove
what are the 2 joints between ribs and vertebrae
costovertebral joint
costotransverse joint
what kind of joints are costovertebral and costotransverse joints
synovial joint
what can be found superior to sternum
suprasternal notch
what is the joint between xiphoid process and sternum called
xiphisternal joint
