Anatomy Course A branch of the common fibular nerve. It runs down the posterolateral aspect of the calf. Supply Provides sensory innervation to the skin on some of the anterior and posterior portions of the lateral calf. Clinical Damage to the nerve will result in a loss of sensation in the skin on the anterior

Anatomy Course Branches off from dorsalis pedis on the foot. It passes laterally over the tarsal bones and across the foot beneath the extensor digitorum brevis muscle to anastomose with arteries from the ankle. Supply Supplies the tarsal bones over which it crosses and the muscle extensor digitorum brevis. It also helps supply the ankle

Anatomy Paired organ upper abdomen, in paravertebral gutter behind peritoneum (both just below diaphragm, right one behind liver, a little smaller and lower than left, behind spleen; adrenal gland on top of each). Bean-shaped, convex lateral and concave medial surfaces. 11th, 12th ribs afford some protection behind. Hilum at medial surface; artery from aorta, vein

Motion The knee joint is a uniaxial* synovial modified hinge joint. It is the largest synovial joint in the body. The knee joint consists of two articulations between the thigh and the leg, one between the condyles of the femur and the tibia and one between the patella and the patellar surface of the femur.

Anatomy The capsule attaches to the margins of the articular surface of the femur. Posteriorly, the capsule attaches a finger’s breath above the intercondylar ridge of the femur. On the lateral condyle of the femur, it loops up to enclose the pit for the popliteus. Again, it attaches to the articulating surfaces of the tibia.

Anatomy (inner labia, lesser/small lips, vaginal lips). Thin hairless skin flaps, 1-2″ long (considerable normal variability in length/width and degree of symmetry left/right), extending down/back from clitoris, either side of vulval vestibule (with urethral and vaginal orifice/introitus), medial to labia majora (separated from them by sulcus). Front ends divide and meet around clitoris (upper/front –

Anatomy Lactiferous/milk/mammary ducts which convey milk from acini/sacs (acinus is berry-like cluster of milk-producing cells) in breast lobules, to the nipple. Acinus – the cluster of cells, alveolus – the space they enclose, duct/ule – the tube carrying away the exocrine secretions ie milk). Ducts join and get bigger as they converge on nipple (branch

Anatomy Voice box, sound generator, in front of neck, level C3-6, between lower (hypo-) pharynx and trachea; extends from tip of epiglottis to inferior border cricoid; hyoid bone above not anatomically part but connected, intimately associated; skeleton of 9 cartilages (connected by muscles/ligaments); single – epiglottic, thyroid (rocks back and forth on cricoid, adjusts vocal

Anatomy A five centimetre long, extra-capsular cord. Its origin is on the lateral epicondyle of the femur, above the popliteal pit and attaches to head of the fibula. Functions Provides static stability to the lateral aspect of the knee joint. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course One of the terminal branches of the lateral circumflex artery. It branches from the main lateral circumflex after it passes deep to the sartorius and rectus femoris muscles. It ascends laterally, beneath the tensor fasciae latae muscle, and towards the hip joint. It joins with the medial circumflex femoral artery. Supply Supplies the
