Osteology
An artery that forms a groove in the middle cranial fossa passes through this structure to enter the skull
What is the foramen spinosum?
The coracoid process of the scapula serves as the attachment site for these three muscles
What are the pectoralis minor, coracobrachialis, and short head of the biceps brachii?
Testicular cancer most commonly spreads first to this group of lymph nodes.
What are the (retroperitoneal para-aortic) lumbar lymph nodes?
The lesser palatine nerve is a branch of this structure
What is the pterygopalatine ganglion?
This vein is located anatomically just superior to the pineal gland
What is the great cerebral vein of Galen?
These vertebrae are characterized by bifid spinous processes
What are the C2-C6 cervical vertebrae?
This is the inferiorly-projecting(descending) branch of the costocervical trunk
What is the supreme/highest intercostal artery?
This artery gives rise to the acetabular branch that travels through the ligament of the head of the femur to supply the femoral head, especially in children
What is the obturator artery?
The ciliary ganglion is embryologically derived from this.
What are the Neural crest cells?
These cranial nerves have GVA (general visceral afferent) fibres
What are the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves? (~facial nerve also accepted)
This anatomical landmark marks the end of the facial canal
What is the stylomastoid foramen?
The persistent left superior vena cava usually empties into this structure
What is the coronary sinus?
These muscles are responsible for hip abduction (3)
What are Gluteus medius, Gluteus minimus and Tensor fasciae latae muscles?
Extorsion of the eyeball with tilting of the head to compensate it is characteristic for a lesion of this nerve
What is the trochlear nerve (CN IV)?
An aneurysm of this artery can lead to bitemporal lower quadrantanopia
What is the anterior communicating artery?
The second compartment of the extensor retinaculum transmits the tendons of these muscles
What are the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis?
This embryonic shunt allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs by connecting the pulmonary trunk directly to the aorta.
What is the ductus arteriosus?
This autonomic plexus provides sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation to the ductus deferens
What is the inferior hypogastric plexus?
This nerve, a branch of a larger nerve that innervates muscles derived from the first pharyngeal arch, passes through both the infratemporal and retromandibular fossae
What is the auriculotemporal nerve?
The tract that communicates the cerebral cortex with the cerebellum has its second-order neurons located here
What is the nuclei of the (basal) pons?
Premature fusion of this cranial suture leads to this most common type of craniosynostosis, characterized by a long, narrow skull shape
What is the sagittal suture? What is scaphocephaly?
The posterior papillary muscle of the left ventricle is most typically supplied by this major artery
What is the right coronary artery?
These two muscles have the following shared characteristics, Innervation = Deep fibular nerve, Functions = Dorsiflexion and Eversion of the foot
What are the Fibularis(peroneus) tertius and Extensor digitorum longus muscles?
Lymph from the apex of the tongue primarily drains into this group of lymph nodes
What are the submental lymph nodes?
This gray matter region of the hypothalamus, located between the mammillary bodies and the optic chiasm, forms the floor of the third ventricle and gives rise to the infundibulum
What is the tuber cinereum?
