Anatomy Course One of the 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 descends deep to the rectus femoris along the thigh, piercing the vastus lateralis muscle. At the knee it connects with a branch of the superior

Motion The various synovial joints between the individual tarsal bones invert, evert, supinate and pronate the foot. They allow the foot to adapt and maintain contact with the ground on irregular surfaces. The intertarsal joints are made up of the following individual articulations: Talocalcaneal, Talocalcanealnavicular, Calcaneocuboid, Cuneonavicular, Cubonavicular (normally fibrous), Intercuneiform, and Cuneocuboid. The talocalcaneonavicular

Anatomy Attaches medially to the ischium, just posterior inferior to the acetabulum and laterally to the greater trochanter deep to the iliofemoral ligament. Functions Provides static stability to the hip joint. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Large notch, between posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine, which the sacrospinous ligament (triangular, ischial spine to lateral margins sacrum and coccyx) converts to a foramen. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Triangular posterior projection from back of body of ischium, between greater (above) and lesser (below) sciatic notches.

Anatomy Large swelling of posterior part of superior ramus of ischium, forming lowermost part of pelvis, giving attachment to biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus (hamstrings) and adductor muscles and sacrotuberous ligaments. Clinical Sitting bone; one sits on and with one’s ischial tuberosity. Common site of pain in athletes, due to avulsion injuries cause by pull

Anatomy Small notch between ischial spine and ischial tuberosity, converted to a foramen by sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy One of 4 (Jugular, Subclavian, Bronchomediastinal, Lumbar) paired lymphatic trunks. Drains head and parts of the neck. On R, empties into venous system at junction R Subclavian and R Internal Jugular Veins. On L, empties into Thoracic Duct. Clinical There is an overlap of Lymphatic System (recycling Plasma) and Lymphoid System (identifying and responding

Anatomy Course Starts when the inferior petrosal sinus and sigmoid sinus come together. It leaves the cranium via the jugular foramen and descends lateral to the internal and common carotid arteries. On both sides, it joins the subclavian veins to form the brachiocephalic veins. Drain Drains blood from the brain, neck and superficial face. Clinical
