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 Heelbone. Largest tarsal bone, bears most weight in heel. Biggest tendon in body – Achilles – inserts into upper surface. Talus + calcaneus = hindfoot. Articulates up with talus, forward with cuboid. Clinical Joint above (subtalar) affords foot inversion and eversion and in conjunction with calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints below (together called transverse talar

Anatomy Located in the midline, between the two cerebellar hemispheres. It is further subdivided into nine areas, from anterior to posterior, as follows: lingula, central lobule, culmen, declive, folium, tuber, pyramid, uvula and nodule. Blood Supply: Supplied by branches of the superior, anterior inferior and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries. Clinical Cerebellar vermis lesions are characterised

Anatomy Attaches from the posteromedial side of the lateral malleolus, above the malleolus fossa. It travels obliquely downwards and posteriorly to attach to a tubercle on the lateral surface of the calcaneus. Functions Supplies support and stability to the talocural (ankle) joint. Clinical The lateral ligaments of the ankle are the most commonly strained. The

Anatomy Course Originates from the left side of the dorsal venous network found on the dorsum of the hand on the metacarpal bones. It travels superficially on the lateral aspect of the arm and forearm until it passes between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscle where it promptly empties into the axillary vein. Drain Drains
