Anatomy Largest carpal bone, in centre of wrist in distal (further) row. Articulates up with lunate, down with 2nd, 3rd (mostly) and 4th metacarpals, out with trapezoid and navicular, in with hamate. Attachments; part of adductor pollicis. Vignette Capit (Latin); head. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Heelbone. Largest tarsal bone, bears most weight in heel. Biggest tendon in body – Achilles – inserts into upper surface. Talus + calcaneus = hindfoot. Articulates up with talus, forward with cuboid. Clinical Joint above (subtalar) affords foot inversion and eversion and in conjunction with calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints below (together called transverse talar

Anatomy Attaches from the posteromedial side of the lateral malleolus, above the malleolus fossa. It travels obliquely downwards and posteriorly to attach to a tubercle on the lateral surface of the calcaneus. Functions Supplies support and stability to the talocural (ankle) joint. Clinical The lateral ligaments of the ankle are the most commonly strained. The

Anatomy Pair of pea-sized exocrine glands below prostate, behind and to side of membranous part of urethra, in front of anus. Duct, 1″, opens into urethra at base penis. Smaller with age. Physiology Secrete salty, thick/viscous alkaline fluid into urethra – during arousal, before ejaculation – which neutralizes acid of residual urine in urethra, and

Anatomy Origin: Pterygomandibular raphe, mandible, and alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible. Insertion: Angle of the mouth, some fibres forming deep layers of orbicularis oris. Key Relations: -The parotid duct pierces the muscle opposite the maxillary 3rd molar, before opening into the cavity of the mouth opposite the maxillary 2nd molar. -Often grouped with the

Anatomy Branch of the facial nerve (also known as the seventh cranial nerve). Facial nerve: Has a motor and sensory origin that join together to form the nerve. It passes through the internal auditory meatus through the facial canal and finally exits from the stylomastoid foramen, and into the parotid gland where it divides into

Anatomy Also called bronchial/hilar glands/nodes, situated in pulmonary/lung hilum/root, drain lungs (receive lymph from pulmonary nodes), screen/filter and pass on to tracheobronchial lymph nodes (subgroup of Mediastinal Nodes) and via bronchomediastinal trunk, to Thoracic (Left Lymphatic) Duct.

Anatomy One of 4 paired Lymphatic Trunks (Jugular, Subclavian, Bronchomediastinal, Lumbar). Receives lymph from parts of thorax, passes on to Thoracic Duct (L), Right Lymphatic Duct (R) or empties directly into juncture Subclavian and Internal jugular Veins. Clinical Lymph-atic is about transport, Lymph-oid is about T-Lymphocytes. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for

Anatomy That part of airways supported by cartilage, not involved in gas exchange; trachea branches at carina (level sternal angle, T5) – primary bronchi (r, l) – secondary (lobar; 3r, 2l) – tertiary (segmental; 10r, 8- 10l); incrementally down from trachea, as bronchi branch and get smaller, there is more smooth muscle, less hyaline cartilage

Anatomy Milk-producing component of breast (15-20 in each breast, 10-100 acini/clusters of milk-producing cells each lobe/lobule), drained to the nipple by a duct (breast is modified sweat/apocrine gland, ie an exocrine gland, its secretion being milk), irregularly arranged around the nipple, subcutaneous, composed of fatty tissue in a stroma and supported by ligaments (Cooper’s).
