Anatomy Group/Cluster of nodes, in front and back of ears and along lower border jaw, and deeper in neck alongside blood vessels. Nodes filter the lymphatic drainage of scalp, face, nasal cavity, pharynx. Clinical Main (6) groups/clusters of nodes; Cervical, Axillary, Thoracic (Mediastinal, Bronchopulmonary), Iliac, Inguinal.

Anatomy Located in the posterior cranial fossa, inferior to the cerebrum and posterior to the pons and medulla and forms the roof of the 4th ventricle. Composed of two cerebellar hemispheres, connected by the midline vermis. The dural tentorium cerebelli separates the cerebellum below from the occipital lobes above, while the dural falx cerebelli intervenes

Anatomy Hollow distensible muscular organ, extra-peritoneal on pelvic floor behind pubic symphysis; 300-600 mls capacity; urine enters through ureteral openings 2-3 cms apart in posterior wall, is extruded through internal urethral orifice below (trigone the area thus bounded); dome, posterior surface covered with peritoneum; neck fixed by true ligaments of pelvis and fascia; body supported

Anatomy The calcaeonavicular part of the bifurcate ligament is Y-shaped and superior to the joint. It attaches from the anterior aspect of the superior surface of the calcaneus: The dorsal lateral part of the navicular (calcaeonavicular ligament). The dorsal medial surface of the cuboid ( calcaeocuboid ligament). Functions Reinforces the lateral part of the talocalcaneonavicular

Anatomy Origin: Distal half of anterior surface of the humerus. Insertion: Coronoid process and the tuberosity of the ulna. Key Relations: -Located deep to the biceps brachii and forms part of the floor of the cubital fossa. –Musculocutaneous nerve lies on its lateral surface adjacent to biceps brachii. Functions Works synergistically with biceps brachii for

Anatomy Pair of pea-sized exocrine glands below prostate, behind and to side of membranous part of urethra, in front of anus. Duct, 1″, opens into urethra at base penis. Smaller with age. Physiology Secrete salty, thick/viscous alkaline fluid into urethra – during arousal, before ejaculation – which neutralizes acid of residual urine in urethra, and

Anatomy Course Begins with the fusion of the radial and ulnar veins at the elbow. It then travels beneath the muscles of the forearm as it travels proximally up the arm. It eventually joins the basilic vein. Drain Drains the muscles of the forearm. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test

Anatomy Origin: Pterygomandibular raphe, mandible, and alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible. Insertion: Angle of the mouth, some fibres forming deep layers of orbicularis oris. Key Relations: -The parotid duct pierces the muscle opposite the maxillary 3rd molar, before opening into the cavity of the mouth opposite the maxillary 2nd molar. -Often grouped with the

Anatomy Course A network of nerve fibers running from the spine to neck, axilla and forearm. It is divided into roots (C5, C6, C7, C8, T1), trunks (superior, middle and inferior), divisions (3 anterior and 3 posterior), cords (lateral, posterior and medial), and terminal branches (musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median and ulnar nerves).
