Principles Flashcards
Where are spinal nerves located in relation to the vertebrae A|
Below
Dermatomes at nipple line, umbilical line and thumb line
T4, T10 and C6
What is the collective name for the lumbar and sacral spinal nerves
Cauda equina
Three types of joints
Fibrous, cartilagenous and synovial
Two types of fibrous joints and examples
Sutures (between bones in the skull) and fibrous sheets (in between other bones like interosseous membrane)
Two types of cartilaginous joints and examples
Primary (epiphyseal growth plate and ribs to sternum) and secondary (pubic symphysis and intervertebral disks)
5 synovial joints and examples
Pivot (neck), ball and socket (hip), plane (feet and hands), hinge (elbow and knee) and biaxial (ankles and wrists)
What nerves are parasympathetic
3, 7, 9 and 10
What vertebrae is thyroid gland level
C7
What are the inside and outside portions of brain known as
White matter (inside) and grey matter (outside
The two blood supplies to the testicle
Testicular artery and pampiniform venous plexus
Arteries of the arms going distally
Subclavian, axillary, brachial and then into radial and ulnar
What nerves supply the sympathetic division to the heart and lungs
Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves
What are the proximal ends of the humerous
Greater and less tubericle
What are the distal ends of the humerous
Medial and lateral epicondyles
What are the proximal ends of the femur
Greater and lesser trochanters
What are the distal ends of the femur
Medial and lateral condyles
What vertebrae do the larynx and pharynx change into trachea and oesophagus
C6
Where does the trachea bifurcate
T5-T7
Joint between sternal body and xiphoid process
Xiphisternal joint
Artery and vein of the posterior intercostal spaces
Branch of the thoracic aorta and azygous vein
Artery and vein of the anterior intercostal spaces
Internal thoracic artery and internal thoracic vein
What nerve supplies the serratus anterior and what does it cause
Long thoracic nerve and winged scapula
Swollen part of the thoracic duct
Cisterna chyli
Ausculation area of the apices, middle lobe and lung bases
Apices: Superior to the medial 1/3rd of the clavicle
Middle lobe: Between ribs 4-6 in mid-clavicular and mid-axillary lines
Bases:Scapular line at T11 vertebral line
Where do the medial half of the breasts drain
Parasternal lymph nodes
Where do the lateral half od the breasts drain to
Axilliary lymph nodes
Three things that make up the temporomandibular joints
Condylar process, mandibular fossa and articular tubericle
Muscles around the mouth
Obicularis oris
Muscle maintaining faecal continence
Levator ani
Intraperitoneal organs
Stomach, appendix, liver, transverse colon, duodenum (1st part), small intestine, pancreas (tail), rectum (upper 1/3rd), sigmoid and spleen
What is pharmacodynamics
Drug to body
What is pharmacokinetics
Body to drug
