Study Notes
102 Questions Summary
- 61 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and 41 short answer/hot spot questions
- 15 upper extremity (UE) and 12 lower extremity (LE) hot spots
- Pelvis, chest X-ray, CT of abdomen, and head
- Cutaneous nerves from cervical plexus, plus nerve points in the posterior neck, along the SCM's lateral border for local anesthetic block
- Neurocranium (brain case) landmarks from external carotid artery
- Viscerocranium (facial bones) landmarks from internal carotid artery
Types and Characteristics of Joints
- Fibrous: sutures of cranium, gomphoses (teeth), and syndesmoses
- Cartilaginous: epiphyseal plates and intervertebral discs
- Synovial: articular cartilage, capsule, and synovial fluid; most common; uniaxial, biaxial, and multiaxial types
- Distinguishing features of each type, including examples
Nerve Innervations
- Sympathetic: originates at T1-L2/3, synapses at paravertebral ganglia (sympathetic chain) or prevertebral ganglia (splanchnic nerves); fibers travel to the eyes, heart, lungs, etc., or skip to prevertebral ganglia.
- Parasympathetic: originates at CN III, VII, IX, X, and S2-4, synapses in ganglia; cranial nerves (III, VII, IX, X); associated with specific structures like iris/pupil, lacrimal and salivary glands, and the Gl tract sections from upper to lower half
Vertebral Column Anatomy
- Spinal cord passes through vertebral foramen
- Spinal nerves exit intervertebral foramina
- Vertebral artery, vein, and sympathetic nerves pass through transversarium foramina (C1-C6)
Vertebral Body, Ligaments, and Arches
- Ligamentum flavum connects lamina
- Posterior longitudinal ligament connects spinous processes
- Anterior longitudinal ligament connects to anterior vertebral bodies
- Transverse ligament separates vertebral foramen for dens from C2 (axis)
- Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae differences in structure (e.g., spinous process shape, vertebral foramen size)
Back Muscles
- Extrinsic muscles: superficial, innervated by anterior rami (UE) or CN XI; control movement, including respiration
- Intrinsic muscles: deep, innervated by dorsal/posterior rami; maintain posture and ROM of vertebral column
Skin Layers
- Epidermis (avascualr)
- Dermis (two layers: papillary and reticular)
- Hypodermis / subcutaneous tissue
- Descriptions of components like collagen fibers, tension lines, and accessory structures
Investing Fascia
- Envelops most of the body
- Important considerations concerning compartment syndrome
Parotid Gland
- Location and function in relation to the infratemporal region
Breast Drainage
- Role of axillary nodes in cancer metastasis
- Important routes of drainage in breast cancer
Thoracic Cavity (Pleura, Pericardium, etc.)
- Thoracic cavity is separated into pleural and pericardial cavities
- Pleura surrounds the lungs
- Pericardium surrounds the heart
- Description of anatomical boundaries between those compartments and abdominal/pelvic areas
Parasympathetic & Sympathetic Nervous System
- Parasympathetic & sympathetic systems detailed roles of their structures including broncial walls, stomach, and gastrointestinal tract
Cardiac Circulation
- Tricuspid (Right) and Mitral (Left) valves (open/closed state in systole and diastole)
- Pulmonic (Right) and Aortic (Left) valves (open/closed state in systole and diastole)
- Catheterization of Heart through femoral triangle
Pelvis and Perineum
- Pelvis bony landmarks (iliac crest, pubic tubercle, pubic symphysis, sacrum), contents
- Perineum location, and structures
- Inguinal hernia (direct and indirect)
Renal Arteries and Iliac Arteries
- Position of renal arteries and iliac arteries relative to the umbilicus
Rectal and Vaginal Exams
- Palpable structures during examinations
Thigh Compartments and Muscles
- Details of anterior, posterior, and medial thigh compartments
- Description of key muscles in each compartment
Upper Extremity (UE)
- Key anatomical structures (e.g., clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna) and clinically relevant nerves (e.g., radial, median, ulnar)
- Upper arm muscles and their actions
