Anatomy The dura mater is the strong, thick, outermost layer of the meninges attached to the periosteum of the skull except where it runs long the skull base or is reflected along the skull vault. Venous sinuses run inside spaces within the dura mater created by separation of the dura mater from the periosteum at

Anatomy 15-20 muscular ducts which connect rete testis to epididymis, accounting for 1/3 volume head of epididymis, concentrating spermatozoa by water reabsorption and moving them on. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Motion The elbow joint is a uniaxial compound synovial hinge joint. The elbow joint actually includes 2 joints the humeroulnar joint and the humeroradial joint. The capitulum of the humerus articulates with the head of the radius, and the trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna. Together these articulations make

Anatomy The joint capsule attaches to the articular margins of the ulna, radius and humerus. It attaches to the margins of the olecranon, coronoid process and radial fossae. Distally, it blends with the annular ligament. The capsule is thinner anteriorly and posteriorly. Functions The capsule supplies static stability to the elbow joint. Interested in taking

Anatomy Layer of tough, dense, fibrous tissue that covers the upper portion of the cranium. Attaches posterior to occipitalis, anteriorly to frontalis, and laterally to auriculares anterior and superior. Posteriorly and laterally, its fibers are continued to the external occipital protuberance and zygomatic arch, respectively. Dorsally, it is firmly connected to the skin by the

Anatomy Epididymis (head – receives spermatozoa, body, tail – reabsorbs fluids and concentrates sperm) is a single coiled tube, 20-24 feet long, enveloping/investing/covering the back and top of the testis, its head continuous with and receiving immature sperm (can’t swim or fertilise) from efferent ducts at back of testis, passing them on (mature, typically after

Anatomy A thin leaf shaped cartilage situated at the inlet of the larynx. It is formed from yellow elastic fibrocartilage. It lies posterior to the root of the tongue and the hyoid bone. Its superior end is free, its inferior end is tapered and attaches internally to below the thyroid notch via the thyroepiglottic ligament.

Insertion: Transverse processes of C4 to C6. Iliocostalis thoracis: Origin: Angles of 7th to 12th ribs. Insertion: Angles of 1st to 6th ribs. Iliocostalis lumborum: Origin: Iliac crest, sacrum and
