Anatomy Strong prong projecting down from medial/outer side of lower extremity, articulating laterally with the talus. Clinical Fractures can be isolated or more often, one of; bi-malleolar (with lateral malleolus -often requires surgery; tri-malleolar with lateral malleolus and posterior aspect of bottom of tibia – usually requires surgery; fracture often accompanied by ligamentous damage.

Anatomy The Thoracic Duct conveys lymph from 3/4 the body (all except the Right side of the head and neck, R upper limb and R side of chest), emptying into either the L Subclavian or L Brachiocephalic Vein. Extends from level L2 (where R and L Lumbar Trunks and Intestinal Trunk join to form the

Anatomy Has a heart-shaped body, lateral surface (each side) of which has an articulating facet for the head of 1st rib and a demi-facet for the upper half of the head of 2nd rib. From either side of the back of the body, pedicles project posteriorly, joining laminae which themselves meet at the midline (from

Anatomy Vertebrae T9 – T12 (lowermost thoracic) show progressive change from the mid-thoracic pattern of demi-facets on the body (whereby the heads of ribs straddle 2 vertebrae), to single facets on the pedicle. Also, the transverse process has no articular surface (and 12th rib has no tubercle). Clinical Articulates above with T11 (top of vertebral

Anatomy Finishing school, turns Lymphocytes from Bone Marrow into immunocompetent T(hymus)-Lymphocytes and sends them out into the Lymphatic world (to various Lymph Nodes/Glands), enlarges from 12/40 fetus to puberty then shrinks. Situated behind upper part Breastbone (Manubrium Sterni), bi-lobed with junction at front trachea, lobes fat- and WBC-rich. Clinical Fundamental functions of Lymphatic System; tissue

Anatomy Attaches from the inferior end of the epiglottis to the thyroid just below the thyroid notch. Functions Attaches the epiglottis to the thyroid. It also helps hold it in place. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Origin: Oblique line on lamina of thyroid cartilage. Insertion: Body of hyoid bone. Key Relations: -Is one of the infrahyoid muscles (sometimes referred to as ‘strap muscles’) lying in the muscular triangle of the neck. -Lies deep to omohyoid and sternohyoid. Functions -Depresses the hyoid bone. -When hyoid is fixed, raises the larynx e.g.

Anatomy Origin: Upper two-thirds of posterior surface of lateral border of scapula. Insertion: Inferior facet of greater tubercle of humerus. Key Relations: -The tendon of the muscle passes across and is united with the posterior capsule of the shoulder joint. -One of the four muscles of the rotator cuff muscle group. Functions -Lateral rotation of

Anatomy Male gonad [organ that makes gametes – sperm – through a process (spermatogenesis) that involves a type of cell division (meiosis) that produces cells that are haploid, ie have half the chromosome complement of other – diploid – cells; female gamete is ovary, its meiotic product are eggs], produces sperm and testosterone, ellipsoid (about

Anatomy Is a slit-like cavity lined with ependymal cells, located between the two thalami and is a part of the series of fluid-filled cavities, which make up the ventricular system. It is connected anteriorly to the lateral ventricles via the interventricular foramen of Monro. The anterior wall is formed by the lamina terminalis. The lateral
