Introduction to Regional Anatomy

• Tissues and structures, nervous system, embryology, anatomy of the child are covered.

Upper Limb

• Pectoral girdle, shoulder, axilla, breast, anterior and posterior compartments of the arm, anterior and posterior compartments of the forearm, wrist and hand are covered.
• Upper limb innervation is summarized.
• Upper limb nerve injuries are summarized.
• Osteology of the upper limb is reviewed.

Lower Limb

• Anterior, medial, and posterior compartments of the thigh, gluteal region and hip joint, popliteal fossa and knee joint, anterior, dorsum, lateral, and posterior compartments of the leg, sole of the foot, ankle and foot joints are described.
• Lower limb innervation is summarized.

Thorax

• Body wall, thoracic wall and diaphragm, thoracic cavity, superior, anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum, pleura, lungs are covered.
• Osteology of the thorax is reviewed.

Abdomen

• Anterior abdominal wall, abdominal cavity, peritoneum, development of the gut, vessels and nerves of the gut, gastrointestinal tract, liver and biliary tract, pancreas, spleen, posterior abdominal wall, kidneys, ureters and suprarenal glands, pelvic cavity, rectum, urinary bladder and ureters in the pelvis, male and female internal genital organs, urethra, pelvic vessels and nerves, perineum are covered.
• Male urogenital region are described.

Anterior Rami

• Anterior rami supply prevertebral flexor muscles segmentally.
• The lower cervical and first thoracic nerves supply upper limb muscles via the brachial plexus.
• Thoracic nerves supply body wall muscles segmentally.
• Intercostal nerves supply intercostal muscles and anterior abdominal wall muscles.
• L1 is the lowest spinal nerve supplying the anterior abdominal wall.
• Muscles supplied below L1 are in the lower limb.
• C2, 3, and 4 supply neck skin.
• C5, 6, 7, 8, and T1 supply upper limb skin via the brachial plexus.
• Skin in the trunk is supplied in strips/zones from T2 to L1 .
• Intercostal nerves have lateral and anterior branches.
• Lower thoracic nerves supply abdominal wall skin obliquely.
• Dermatomes overlap, ensuring complete coverage.
• Nerves in the body wall, with segmental arteries and veins, spiral around the thorax and abdomen in a neurovascular plane.
• This plane is between the middle and deepest muscle layers.

Neurovascular Plane

• Nerves are positioned below arteries in the body wall.
• Nerves cross arteries posteriorly and anteriorly.
• Nerves are closer to the skin at crossing points.
