Injury to the long thoracic nerve would result in this pathology.

What is medial winging of the scapula?

100

This is the communication between basilic and cephalic veins.

What is median cubital vein?

100

These muscles insert together at pes anserinus.

What are sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus?

100

This membrane surrounds the blastocyst before implantation into the uterine wall.

What is zone pellucida?

200

These muscles are innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve.

What are rhomboids and levator scapulae?

200

These muscles make up the deep muscles of the anterior forearm.

What are pronator quadratus, flexor pollicus longus, and flexor digitorum profundus?

200

Piriformis syndrome will most likely compress this nerve. 

Bonus to name other nerves/vessels coming out of this foramen.

What is sciatic nerve?

Bonus: superior/inferior gluteal nerves and vasculature, posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, pudendal nerve

200

This time interval is critical for normal development.

What is 3-8 weeks?

300

This vasculature supplies the pectoralis major and minor.

What is the thoracoacromial artery?

300

To test the deep radial nerve, this muscle should be tested.

What is extensor indices?

300

During toe off, this group of muscles are working the hardest.

What are hip flexors? (i.e. iliopsoas)

300

Match the following with the axis of development it controls:

ZPA

AER

Ventral/dorsal ectoderm

ZPA - craniocaudal

AER - proximodistal

Ventral-dorsal ectoderm - ventral/dorsal

300

Sophia keeps tripping on her big toe while she walks. This spinal nerve is affected.

What is L5?

400

These muscles insert on the crests of the greater and lesser tubercles, respectively.

What are pectoralis major and teres major?

400

This muscle is a good test for C5/6 (bonus to name movements of this muscle).

What is biceps brachia? (supination with flexion of elbow)

400

This nerve and vein run anterior to the medial malleolus.

What are saphenous nerve and great saphenous vein? 

400

Mirror image polydactyly is a result of this abnormal expression.

What is ZPA expression in the cranial end?

400

Neusha was walking and tripped on her own feet. An x-ray showed a femoral neck fracture. The artery likely affected is part of these anastomoses.

What is obturator and cruciate anastomoses?

500

This nerve comes off the posterior cord of the brachial plexus and has roots of spinal nerves C6-8.

What is thoracodorsal nerve?

500

These muscles are innervated by the medial plantar nerve.

What are 1st lumbrical, abductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, and flexor digitorum brevis?

500

This is the second limb rotation during development.

What is lateral rotation of upper limb and medial rotation of lower limb?

500

Abby pushed Anna to the ground after Anna gaslit her into thinking that tibialis anterior is a muscle of the forearm. Anna is now having motor deficits including difficulty flexing her wrist and medial MP/DIP/PIP, loss of abduction/adduction of her fingers, loss of thumb adduction, loss of simultaneous flexion of MP/extension of DIP and PIP of her ring and pinky fingers, and weakness of simultaneous flexion of MP/extension of DIP and PIP of her second and third digits. 

This/these spinal nerve(s) is affected. These are the associated cutaneous deficits. 

What is C8-T1? What is hypothenar eminence, palmar and dorsal last 1 & 1/2 digits and associated palm/dorsum of hand?
