Anatomy Origin: Body of the pubis, inferior to the pubic crest. Insertion: Middle third of the linea aspera of the femur. Key Relations: -One of the six muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh. -Anterior to adductor longus is the spermatic cord in males, the great saphenous vein, and near its insertion the femoral

Anatomy Origin: Middle thirds of posterior of radius and ulna and intervening interosseus membrane. Insertion: Lateral aspect of base of 1st metacarpal. Key Relations: -Its tendon together with the tendon of extensor pollicis brevis forms the anterior boundary of the anatomical snuff box. -One of the six muscles in the deep posterior compartment of the

Anatomy Origin: Tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium and adjacent flexor retinaculum. Insertion: Proximal phalanx and extensor apparatus of the thumb. Key Relations: Is one of the muscles of the thenar eminence of the hand. Functions -Abduction of the thumb at the carpopmetacarpol and metacarpophalangeal joints. -Also assists in thumb opposition and extension. Supply Nerve Supply:

Anatomy Origin: Medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity, flexor retinaculum and plantar aponeurosis. Insertion: Medial surface of the base of the proximal phalanx of the hallux (big toe). Key relations: Lies on the medial surface of the foot and contributes to a soft tissue bulge on the medial part of the sole of the foot.

Anatomy A strong fibrous band which encircles the head of the radius. It attaches to the anterior and posterior border of the radial notch of the ulna. The superior margin of this ligament blends with the fibrous membrane of the elbow joint capsule. The ligament also blends laterally with the radial collateral ligament. Functions The

Anatomy Origin: Pisiform and tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris. Insertion: Ulnar aspect of the base of the proximal phalanx of the little finger and ulnar border of the extensor apparatus of the little finger. Key Relations: Is one of the muscles of the hypothenar eminence of the hand. Functions Abduction of the little finger at

Motion The ankle joint is a synovial hinge joint and is approximately uniaxial. It involves the articulation between the talus of the foot and the inferior surface and medial malleolus of the tibia and the lateral malleolus of the fibula. The ankle is primarily capable of hinge like plantar flexion (e.g. when pushing down an

Anatomy Origin: Lateral and medial processes of the calcaneal tuberosity and plantar aponeurosis. Insertion: Lateral surface of the base of the 5th proximal phalanx. Key relations: -Lies on the lateral surface of the foot. -The lateral plantar vessels and nerve located medially. Functions Abducts the 5th toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint. Supply Nerve supply: Lateral

Anatomy Course Formed when the supraorbital vein and frontal vein come together. It then proceeds in a diagonal path in the crease at the base of the nose until it reaches the lower orbit where it is renamed the anterior facial vein. It is part of an anastomotic network between the cavernous sinus and the

Anatomy Course Enters the abdomen as a continuation of the thoracic aorta by passing through the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm at the level of T12. Descends downward slightly to the left of the midline until it bifurcates into the left and right common iliac arteries at the level to L4. The inferior vena cava
