Anatomy Rigid midline joint or seam between frontal bone and paired parietal bones behind. Ends at side of skull at junction of frontal, parietal and sphenoid bones. Vignette Korone (Greek); garland, wreath. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Attaches from the posterior surface of the medial malleolus, pacing obliquely backwards to the inferiomedial margin of the calcaneus. Functions Provides static stability to the medial ankle joint. Acts as a pulley for the flexor halluces longus, flexor digitorum longus and tibials posterior tendons. Vessels of the foot pass under the flexor retinaculum. Clinical

Anatomy Otherwise referred to as the fourchette, this is the meeting of the labia minora behind the vagina, in front of the anus (their anterior meeting/junction swaddles the clitoris as prepuce and frenulum). It is part of the vulva (external genital organs – including mons, clitoris, urethra/vaginal orifices, labia majora/minora), itself part of the perineum

Anatomy Origin: Anterior surface of middle third of radius and adjacent interosseous membrane. Insertion: Base of the distal phalanx of thumb. Key Relations: -The tendons of flexor pollicis longus passes through the carpal tunnel as it enter the palm of the hand. -One of the three muscles in the deep anterior compartment of the forearm.

Anatomy Origin: Hook of the hamate and the ulnar border of the flexor retinaculum. Insertion: Ulnar aspect of the base of the proximal phalanx of the little finger. Key Relations: -Is one of the muscles of the hypothenar eminence of the hand. -Abductor digiti minimi lies on its lateral side and the two muscels are

Anatomy Origin: Medial side of the posterior surface of the tibia inferior to the soleal line. Insertion: Plantar surface of the base of the distal phalanges of the lateral four toes. Key Relations: -One of the four muscles of the deep posterior compartment of the leg. -The flexor digitorum longus tendon passes posterior to the

Anatomy Origin: Humeral head: Medial epicondyle of humerus via the common flexor tendon. Ulnar head: Medial margin of olecranon and upper two thirds of dorsal border of ulna by an aponeurosis. Insertion: Pisiform bone, then via pisohamate and pisometacarpal ligaments into the hook of the hamate and the fifth metacarpal. Key Relations: -The ulnar nerve

Anatomy Origin: Medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity and plantar aponeurosis. Insertion: Sides of the plantar surface of the middle phalanges of the lateral 4 toes. Key relations: -Lies superior to the plantar aponeurosis. -Gives rise to 4 tendons that lie superficial to the flexor digitorum longus tendons. See plantar view of flexor digitorum brevis.

Anatomy Origin: Medial epicondyle of humerus via the common flexor tendon. Insertion: Plamar aspect of bases of second and third metacarpal bones (with a slip to the third). Key Relations: -The tendon of flexor carpi radialis is considered part of the carpal tunnel, although more accurately it passes through the flexor retinaculum, the cover of

Anatomy Fringes/fingers projecting from widened lateral end (infundibulum) of fallopian tube, closely associated with ovary. One muscular fimbria – fimbria ovarica – is attached to the ovary. Fimbriae lined internally with millions of tiny hair-like cilia. Physiology Fimbria ovarica contracts at ovulation, pulling the tube more tightly towards the ovary. Cilia beat rapidly, creating current
