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

Anatomy Course Arises from the lateral aspect of the axillary artery. Travels behind the coracobrachialis muscles and the short head of the biceps brachii and anterior to the neck of the humerus. Anastamoses with the posterior circumflex humeral artery. Supply Supplies the glenohumeral joint and the neck of the humerus. Interested in taking our award-winning

Anatomy Course Branch of the anterior tibial artery. Travels laterally through the soleus muscle as well as continuing around the neck of the fibula. It ends by contributing to the anastomotic network of the knee. Supply Supplies the soleus muscle and other adjacent muscles. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test

Anatomy Pedicles project posteriorly from either side of the back of the vertebral body, joining laminae which themselves meet at the midline (from where a spinous process projects back and down) to complete the neural arch (enclosing the vertebral foramen). Where pedicle meets lamina each side, a transverse process, to which muscles and ligaments attach,

Anatomy A sulcus separating the precentral gyrus in front from the postcentral gyrus behind and forming the boundary between frontal and parietal lobes. It extends anteroinferiorly from the great longitudinal fissure along the lateral aspect of the cerebral hemisphere before terminating near the lateral sulcus. Functions The anterior and posterior walls of the central sulcus

Anatomy Pedicles project posteriorly from either side of the back of the vertebral body, joining laminae which themselves meet at the midline to complete the neural arch (enclosing the vertebral foramen). A spinous process projects back and down from this junction; muscles and ligaments attach to it. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app

Anatomy Course: Also known as the celiac artery, it is one of three midline branches of the abdominal aorta (along with the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries). It travels anteriorly to the upper border of L1 after entering the abdominal cavity through the diaphragm at T12, branching into splenic, hepatic, inferior phrenic, and gastric arteries.
