Anatomy Origin: Lateral epicondyle of humerus. Insertion: Lateral aspect of olecranon of ulna and proximal quarter of posterolateral aspect of ulna. Key Relations: One of the six muscles in the deep posterior compartment of the forearm. Functions Assists triceps with extension of the forearm at the elbow. e.g. as in pushing a door closed.. Supply

Anatomy Course One of the terminal branches of the facial artery. Ascends to the medial aspect of the eye‘s orbit, accompanied by the angular vein. There are frequent anastamoses with the dorsal nasal artery. Supply Responsible for supply to the orbicularis oculi muscle as well as the lacrimal ducts of the eye. Interested in taking

Anatomy Course Formed when the supraorbital vein and frontal vein come together. It then proceeds in a diagonal path in the crease at the base of the nose until it reaches the lower orbit where it is renamed the anterior facial vein. It is part of an anastomotic network between the cavernous sinus and the

Motion The ankle joint is a synovial hinge joint and is approximately uniaxial. It involves the articulation between the talus of the foot and the inferior surface and medial malleolus of the tibia and the lateral malleolus of the fibula. The ankle is primarily capable of hinge like plantar flexion (e.g. when pushing down an

Anatomy A strong fibrous band which encircles the head of the radius. It attaches to the anterior and posterior border of the radial notch of the ulna. The superior margin of this ligament blends with the fibrous membrane of the elbow joint capsule. The ligament also blends laterally with the radial collateral ligament. Functions The
