Anatomy Just above the capitulum (which articulates with head of radius) at bottom of humerus laterally. When the arm is bent (ie elbow hinge joint flexed), the front part of radial head sits in it (limiting further flexion). Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?
Anatomy The articular surface of the bottom of humerus is divided into trochlea medially (for trochlear notch of ulna, which is between coronoid process and olecranon) and capitulum laterally (for head of radius). Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?
Anatomy When arm straightened (ie elbow hinge joint fully extended), the olecranon process of ulna sits in olecranon fossa at back of bottom of humerus, lending significant bony strength, stability and movement limitation (stopping hyperextension).

Anatomy A paired structure located in the medial temporal lobe that forms the floor of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle. Blood Supply: Supplied by branches of the internal carotid and posterior cerebral arteries. Functions The hippocampus may act as a neural map of the external environment. It receives information regarding the body’s position
Anatomy Strong and dense capsular ligament, which provides support to the hip joint. Attaches superiorly to margin of the acetabulum, and anteriorly to the outer margin of the labrum. It consists of both circular and longitudinal fibers, which are thicker superiorly and anteriorly, where most support is needed. Functions Gives general support to the hip
Motion The hip joint is a multiaxial synovial ball and socket joint. It is formed by the articulation between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvic bone. It can be flexed, extended, abducted, adducted, medially rotated, laterally rotated and circumducted. Circumduction is the complex circular movement of the joint combining flexion,
Anatomy Course Long subcutaneous vein that commences in the foot where the first dorsal digital vein meets with the dorsal venous arch. It then passes behind the medial malleolus and continues to ascend on the medial aspect of the leg. When it arrives at the knee, it passes on top of the medial epicondyle of
Anatomy Course Originates from the vessels inside the liver like the central vein. They drain deoxygenated and filtered blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava. Drain Liver and other abdominal viscera. Clinical Occlusion can cause Budd-Chiari Syndrome. Patients often present with ascites, hepatomegaly and complain of abdominal pain.

Anatomy Course Branches off the celiac trunk and travels to the right for a short period of time before it divides into its terminal branches. Supply Via its branches it supplies the liver, pylorus and duodenum with oxygenated blood. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?
