Anatomy Course Begins at the neck of the femur and medially travels above the margin of the adductor magnus. It passes between the obturator externus and adductor brevis muscles, and then between the iliopsoas and pectineus muscle. It drains into the deep femoral vein. Drain Drains the head and neck of the femur. Interested in

Anatomy Course A branch of the common tibular nerve. It runs down the posteromedial aspect of the calf. Clinical Damage to the nerve will result in a loss of sensation in the skin on the anterior and posterior portions of the medial calf. Supply Provides sensory innervation to the skin on some of the anterior

Anatomy A strong band, four centimetres wide by twelve centimetres long. It attaches from the medial epicondyle, below the abductor tubercle, to the subcutaneous surface of the tibia, a hand’s breadth below the joint line. It has deep and superficial fibres with the deep fibres binding with the joint capsule. Functions Provides static stability to

It runs in the mesentery with the other vessels of the bowel. Supply Supplies the bowel with blood, in conjunction with the other branches

Anatomy Origin: Superficial and Deep portion: Inferior border and medial surface of zygomatic arch. Insertion: Superficial and Deep portion: Outer aspect of angle of jaw and lower half of ramus of mandible. Key Relations: -The superficial portion is larger and thicker whereas the deep portion is much smaller. -The muscle is crossed superficially by the

Anatomy Course A branch of the external carotid artery. It begins just behind the neck of the mandible, and passes forward just beneath the bone and then through the infratemporal fossa. The artery then enters the pterygopalatine fossa by passing through the pterygomaxillary fissure. Once in the pterygopalatine fossa it splits into several terminal branches.
