Study Notes
Anatomy Basics
- Dissection refers to the cutting up of tissues for study.
- Anatomy includes the study of structure, support, and various functions in the body.
Upper Limb Overview
- Key areas of study: osteology, muscles, nerves and vessels.
- Focus on bones, joints, muscles, nerve supply, and blood supply.
Studying Approach
- Regions are divided for ease of understanding.
- Categorization helps in linking similar structures.
- Mnemonics and mind maps are utilized for better retention.
Scapula
- Triangular shape, subcutaneous location, and spine present.
- Functions include connection, weight transmission, muscle attachment, and protection.
- Difficult to visualize in X-ray; generally managed conservatively.
Clavicle
- S-shaped, subcutaneous, and the only transverse long bone.
- Acts as a connection point and weight transmitter.
- The only bone formed through intramembranous ossification.
- Most commonly fractured bone.
Humerus
- Longest and largest bone in the upper limb with three articulations.
- Has an anatomical neck and a surgical neck; important for understanding fractures.
Radius and Ulna
- Both serve to connect and support weight transmission in the forearm.
- Differentiation between radius (R) and ulna (U) essential for understanding their functions.
