Anatomy Course Formed by the fusion of the external and internal iliac veins at the brim of the pelvis. Travel briefly before the two common iliac veins fuse together and form the inferior vena cava at the level of L5. Drain Receives the deoxygenated blood of the lower limb and pelvis. Clinical The right iliac

Anatomy Course Branches from the superficial palmar arch which then proceed distally on the anterior aspects of the lumbrical muscles. Supply Supplies the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and medial aspects of the index finger. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course Originates from the dorsal branches of the fourth and fifth lumbar nerves as well as the first and second sacral nerves. Makes an oblique descent on the lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa until it reaches the head of the fibula, which it encircles. Divides into the superficial peroneal and deep peroneal nerve.

Anatomy A triangular shaped ligament. Its apex attaches just lateral to the acromioclavicular joint. Its broad base attaches along the lateral border of the coracoid process. Functions Helps to maintain the position of the acromion on the clavical, and stops superior distraction. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Origin: Apex of coracoid process (with short head of biceps brachii). Insertion: Midway on medial border of humerus between the origin of triceps brachii and brachialis. Key Relations: Musculocutaneous nerve perforates it in the axilla as its route of entry to the arm. Functions -Flexes the arm at the shoulder joint. -Adducts the arm

Anatomy The conoid (cord-like) ligament attaches from the conoid tubercle of the clavicle to the posterior aspect of the coracoid process. Functions This ligament is not directly related to the acromioclavicular joint but is a strong accessory ligament. It maintains the position of the clavical on the acromion and also gives weight bearing support to

Anatomy The trapezoid (strap-like) ligament attaches along the trapezoid line of the clavical to the posterior aspect of the coracoid process. Functions This ligament is not directly related to the acromioclavicular joint but is a strong accessory ligament. It maintains the position of the clavical on the acromion and also gives weight bearing support to

Anatomy The coracohumeral ligament attaches from the lateral surface of the coracoid process to blend with the supraspinatus tendon, and attach to the superior surface of the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Functions Helps to keep the head of the humerus in contact with glenoid fossa of the scapula. Provides support and stability to the

Anatomy Origin: Ischial spine and the pelvic surface of the sacrospinous ligament. Insertion: Lateral margin of the coccyx and related border of the sacrum. Key Relations: -Coccygeus overlies the sacrospinous ligament. -Contributes to the formation of the posterior part of the pelvic diaphragm in association with the levator ani muscles- iliococcygeus (for more information see

Anatomy Tailbone. Lowest section of spine, made up of 3-5 small vertebrae, often fused. Transition top to bottom of coccyx, from rudimentary to absent pedicles, laminae, transverse and spinous processes. Clinical Articulates with Sacrum above; limited movement. Vignette From Greek for cuckoo, as viewed from side, resembles its beak. Vestigial tail. Interested in taking our
