Anatomy Course Commences on the ulnar side of the dorsum of the hand where it then takes a superficial path up the forearm resting on top of the superficial muscles. As it nears the elbow, it usually creates connections with the cephalic vein before finally joining the axillary vein in upper arm. Drain Drains portions

Anatomy That part of airways supported by cartilage, not involved in gas exchange; trachea branches at carina (level sternal angle, T5) – primary bronchi (r, l) – secondary (lobar; 3r, 2l) – tertiary (segmental; 10r, 8- 10l); incrementally down from trachea, as bronchi branch and get smaller, there is more smooth muscle, less hyaline cartilage

Anatomy The basal ganglia is a collection of nuclear masses located within each cerebral hemisphere. The most prominent bodies are the caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus. These nuclei are collectively referred to as the corpus striatum. Blood Supply: Supplied by branches of the internal carotid, anterior cerebral and middle cerebral arteries. Functions The basal

Anatomy Milk-producing component of breast (15-20 in each breast, 10-100 acini/clusters of milk-producing cells each lobe/lobule), drained to the nipple by a duct (breast is modified sweat/apocrine gland, ie an exocrine gland, its secretion being milk), irregularly arranged around the nipple, subcutaneous, composed of fatty tissue in a stroma and supported by ligaments (Cooper’s). Physiology

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). Supply Responsible for

Anatomy Paired skin-covered mammary (milk-producing) gland (modified apocrine/sweat gland) ventral (in front of) pectoralis major muscle on thoracic/chest wall, levels ribs #2 to 6; can extend to axilla at side (sometimes as far as latissimus dorsi at back), up to clavicle, in/medial to sternum, made of adipose/glandular/connective/myoepithelial tissue, comprising 15-20 irregular lobes (each with 10-100

Anatomy Origin: Proximal part of the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus and adjacent intermuscular septum. Insertion: Lateral surface of the distal end of the radius. Key Relations: -One of the four muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the forearm. -Lies anterior to the elbow joint. -Forms the lateral boundary of the cubital fossa.

Anatomy Course Continuation of the axillary artery after it has passed the inferior border of the teres minor muscle. It continues to proceeds downwards on the ventral surface of the arm until it reaches the cubital fossa, where it bifurcates in the radial and ulnar arteries. (Bifurcation sometimes occurs higher in the arm in some

Anatomy One of the three layers in living bone. Surrounded and protected by Compact Bone, Marrow is spongy and sits in the Medullary Cavity, the central cavity of bone shafts. Yellow and Red Bone Marrow is produced and stored. In infants, all of the marrow is Red. Red marrow produces red and white blood cells,
