Bones
The sternal angle (or Angle of Louis) corresponds to this rib level.
What is the 2nd rib?
What is flexor carpi ulnaris?
These arteries form an anastomoses around the scapula.
What are the circumflex artery, the dorsal scapular artery, and the supra scapular artery?
This nerve runs through the carpal tunnel.
What is the median nerve?
This diagnosis causes wrist drop.
What is radial nerve palsy?
These bones follow the mnemonic: Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle.
What are: Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrium, Pisiform, Tripezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate?
This is the innervation of the deltoid and teres minor muscles.
What is axillary nerve?
This vein is the sight of most blood draws.
What is the median cubital vein?
The thumb, middle finger, and little finger are innervated by these nerve roots respectively. (dermatomes)
What are C6, C7, and C8?
This area can be palpated if a scaphoid fracture is suspected.
What is the anatomical snuffbox?
(Made up of extensor radialis longus and brevis!)
The inferior angle of the scapula lies adjacent to this vertebrae.
What is T7?
All of the SITS muscle do this action except for the subscapularis muscle.
What is lateral rotation?
The superficial and deep palmar arches are branches from these arteries (respectively).
What are the ulnar and radial arteries?
The thoracodorsal nerve comes off of this cord of the brachial plexus.
What is the posterior cord?
An upper and lower brachial plexus injury would cause these types of palsies, respectively.
What is Erb Duchenne's palsy (waiter's tip) and Klumpke palsy (claw hand)?
The annular ligament surrounds this bone.
What is the radius?
(related to nursemaid's elbow)
This is the distal attachment site for the biceps brachii.
What is the radial tuberosity?
These two veins drain into the axillary vein.
This nerve runs through the Guyon tunnel as well as the cubital tunnel.
What is the ulnar nerve?
You would suspect this nerve to be damaged if a patient presented with a winged scapula?
What is the long thoracic nerve?
This bone is the attachment site for the pectoralis minor, coracobrachialis, and the short head of the biceps brachii.
What is the coracoid process of the scapula?
This muscle separates the axillary artery into 3 parts.
What is pectoralis minor?
This is the wrist flexion nerve root.
What is C7?
This nerve might be damaged due to the most common shoulder dislocation.
What is the axillary nerve?
(Anterior shoulder dislocations are more common!)
