Anatomy Course Its origin is highly variable but receives many vessels as it rises up the leg alongside its corresponding artery until it eventually joins the femoral vein and the inferior border of the ischial tuberosity. Drain Drains the inner thigh. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?
Anatomy There are 3 cylindrical strips of expandable/inflatable/erectile tissue along length of penis; 2 corpus cavernosum side by side and dorsal to 1 (smaller) corpus spongiosum (central and ventral, expanded at proximal end into bulb and distal into glans, and through which urethra courses). Corpus cavernosum starts at pubic bone, left and right end by
Anatomy The coracohumeral ligament attaches from the lateral surface of the coracoid process to blend with the supraspinatus tendon, and attach to the superior surface of the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Functions Helps to keep the head of the humerus in contact with glenoid fossa of the scapula. Provides support and stability to the
Anatomy Course Right common carotid artery originates from the right brachiocephalic trunk posterior to the sternoclavicular joint. Left common carotid originates as a main branch of the arch of the aorta and ascends to enter the neck behind the left sternoclavicular joint. Both bifurcate into the internal and external carotid arteries in the carotid triangle.
Anatomy The trapezoid (strap-like) ligament attaches along the trapezoid line of the clavical to the posterior aspect of the coracoid process. Functions This ligament is not directly related to the acromioclavicular joint but is a strong accessory ligament. It maintains the position of the clavical on the acromion and also gives weight bearing support to
Anatomy Attach from the lateral and medial sides of the heads of the metatarsals to the base of the corresponding phalangeal joints. Functions To reinforce the joint laterally and medially. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?
Anatomy The conoid (cord-like) ligament attaches from the conoid tubercle of the clavicle to the posterior aspect of the coracoid process. Functions This ligament is not directly related to the acromioclavicular joint but is a strong accessory ligament. It maintains the position of the clavical on the acromion and also gives weight bearing support to
Anatomy The metacarpophalangeal ligaments attach from the distal heads of metacarpals two to five on the radial and ulnar surfaces, then attaching to the base of the corresponding phalangeals. Functions To reinforce laterally the metacarpophalangeal joint. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?
