Articulates up with lunate, down with 4th, 5th meta-carpals, out with capitate, in with triquetral. Clinical Golf duffer’s fracture, also common in baseball (can lead to surgical removal) and hockey (slapshot). Vignette Hamatus (Latin); hooked. Interested in taking our award-winning

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 A deep midline sagittal fissure located separating the two cerebral hemispheres. The floor is formed by the corpus callosum, and the falx cerebri of the dura mater extends deep within the fissure. Functions Separates the two cerebral hemispheres.

Anatomy Origin: Body and inferior ramus of pubis. Insertion: Superomedial surface of tibia. Key Relations: -One of the six muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh. -At its insertion to the tibia, the tendon of gracilis is located between the tendons of sartorius and semitendinosus. This 3 pronged arrangement is known as pes anserinus

Anatomy Origin: Outer surface of the ilium between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines. Insertion: The fibres converge to form a tendon that inserts on the anterior border of the greater trochanter of the femur. Key Relations: -Gluteus minimus lies posterior to gluteus medius. -The deep branches of the superior gluteal vessels and the superior

Anatomy Origin: Outer surface of the ilium with the iliac crest and posterior gluteal line above and the anterior gluteal line below. Insertion: The fibres converge to form a strong, flat tendon that inserts on the lateral surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. Key Relations: -The posterior third of gluteus medius lies posterior

Anatomy Origin: Posterior gluteal line of the ilium, posterior aponeurosis of erector spinae, posterior surface of the sacrum , lateral aspect of the coccyx and the sacrotuberous ligament. Insertion: Iliotibial tract of the fascia lata and gluteal tuberosity of the femur. Key Relations: The upper border of gluteus maximus lies anterior to the inferior third

Anatomy Conical distal end of penis, with slit opening (meatus or external urethral orifice), sensitive homologue of clitoris, ordinarily covered partially/fully in flaccid state by retractable foreskin/prepuce (removed in circumcision), is the expanded end of corpus spongiosum molded around joined ends of corpora cavernosa, its base bulging as a corona distal to a sulcus at

Anatomy Origin: Medial head: Popliteal surface above the medial condyle of the femur. Lateral head: Lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of the femur. Insertion: Middle part of the posterior surface of the calcaneus by the tendo calcaneus (Achilles tendon). Key Relations: -One of the three muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg.
