Study Notes
Upper Limb Anatomy
- The profunda brachii artery branches from the brachial artery, supplying the posterior arm.
- The radial nerve runs along the radial side of the arm, innervating muscles like brachioradialis.
- The brachial plexus is made up of roots, trunks, divisions, and cords, crucial for upper limb nerve supply.
- Medial and lateral pectoral nerves originate from the brachial plexus, supplying pectoral muscles.
Rotator Cuff Muscles
- Comprised of subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor.
- These muscles stabilize the shoulder and allow for a range of movements.
Nervous System Anatomy
- The cavernous sinus is a cavity at the base of the skull that houses cranial nerves and the internal carotid artery.
- The abducens nerve (CN VI) passes through the cavernous sinus, controlling lateral eye movement.
Thoracic Anatomy
- The esophageal opening in the diaphragm is located at T10 vertebral level.
- The right phrenic nerve and the inferior vena cava pass through the diaphragm, vital for respiration and venous return.
- Intercostal nerves run between the internal and innermost intercostal muscles, supplying the thoracic wall.
Cardiac Anatomy
- The coronary sinus is the largest vein of the heart, collecting deoxygenated blood from the myocardium.
- The left coronary artery supplies blood to the anterior and lateral wall of the left ventricle and parts of the interventricular septum.
- The apex of the heart is found at the 5th intercostal space, critical for identifying cardiac location during examinations.
Respiratory Anatomy
- The lingula is a tongue-shaped projection on the left lung's upper lobe, important for lung morphology.
- The inferior border of the lungs reaches the 10th rib at the spine, relevant for thoracentesis procedures.
Anatomical Relations
- The mediastinal surface of the right lung showcases various structures like the arch of the aorta, except in some instances.
- The oblique pericardial sinus is bound by the left atrium, illustrating the spatial relationship within the thorax.
Key Functional Aspects
- The direction of external intercostal muscle fibers is downward, forward, and medial, facilitating inhalation.
- Posterior intercostal arteries originate from the descending thoracic aorta, a source of blood supply to the thoracic wall.
