Anatomy made easy - let's help each other

Members do not see this ad.

SDN has a rich medical community. It is imperative that we try to help each other.


This is the idea guys, If you come across any anatomical relationship which makes sense and can be reasoned out easily by intuition... whatever... just post it. Mnemonics help, but they sometimes become too many to be effectively applied.

I think i have to kick start this thread.

This is pretty reasonable.
REGION - ABDOMEN, PELVIS, PERINEUM.

The superior gluteal artery emerges between the lumbosacral trunk, and and 1st sacral vert. it then passes on top of the piriformis muscle
The inferior gluteal artery, emerges between the 1st and 2nd sacral nerves and passes below the piriformis muscle.

remember that the sacral plexus of nerves lies on the piriformis.


INTUITION
---------------
The superior gluteal will emerge between the two major nerves which contribute to the first part of the sacral plexus. which in this case is lumbosacral (L4 AND L5 ) and 1st sacral. since it is superior, is lies on top of the piriformis muscle.
The inferior gluteal will then come from the next 2 in succession.
S1 and S2 . The inferior gluteal artery is inferior , so it moves below the piriformis.

I hope I have helped someone. Let's help each other SDN peeps. Chao.

i just got confused.

There's this guy named Frank Netter, he drew a lot of good pictures of the human body and then bound them all together into a nice atlas.

Then there are these two guys named Moore and Dailey who wrote a book about Clinical Anatomy.

To the OP, I'm sorry, but this post was hilarious.

the number of letters, represents the vertebral level at which the structure enters the abdomen.

vena cava - enters at T8
oesophagus( too bad if ur's is esophagus) - enters at T10
simple as pie

 

[realruby2000]

somthing I remember from last year...

from anterior to post.

T=trachea (carina at C6)
E=Esophagus (sp?)
A=Aorta

 

[deleted29780]

a good help for the previous post.,

from the right to the left.
Voice Of America
Vena Cava - Oesophagus - Aorta.

Thanks for the TEA .
AND QUITE CONCIDENTALLY U CAN HAVE "TEA" AT THE "VOICE OF AMERICA"
THE CONTENTS OF UR DRINK WOULD PASS THROUGH UR OESOPHAGUS. WHICH IS CENTRAL IN BOTH CASES.

WTF?

Does anybody have any good ways to remember the 8/10/12 rule for the vessels piercing the diaphragm?????

there is something called memory and there is something
known as the ability to reason. And they were both made possible by God

Thank U.

Does anyone have a problem with figuring out which is which???

Well ur sympathetics will sympathise with u, when u
want to "fight or flee"

+ would u want to have sex whiles fleeing or fighting?
obviously not, so sympathetics do not cause erection
+ would u want to defecate whiles fighting or fleeing, no
so u would reduce intestinal motility and contract
ur sphincters, like the , external anal sphincter , sphincter urethrae... etc.
+ would u want to see clearly whiles fighting or fleeing ,
obviously, so they would be dilation of the pupils.
+ would u want to run faster? yes, so ur heart rate would increase
+ u want more glucose to be delivered to ur muscles , so u would reduce insulin secretion.



It works for all the others, the opposite would be 4 the
parasympathetics.

I guess students like IlliniDO , have to memorise
, or look at the sym and parasym nerve
supply to organs , as displayed in Netter.

Moral - Try to reason out anatomy, there should be less
memorization and more thinking . Ur Welcome IlliniDO

This site is pretty useful.

I am suprisedit is not mentioned more on SDN.

i would like to help all the unsatisfied women medical students by calling attention to THIS YEARS EDITION OF NETTERS: PLATE 239 OWWW-OWWWWWWWWWWW.

There's a better way (pardon profanity): Some Anatomists Like F***ing; Others Prefer S&M.

Just thought I'd offer what I could 😉

my netter thanks you. picking it up to see what all the fuss was about is more use than it got all week...

 

[lattimer13]

how bout plate 359? that's just wrong.

 

[deleted29780]

hey guys, let's stick to the subject. what is the point in looking at the external genitalia of a woman in netter. Ur are being trained as meds, u better learn to appreciate anatomy. 😉
I wonder what ur response would be if u start performing pudendal nerve blocks during ur ONG rotation.

 

[Krony]

Point & Shoot

Erection - parasympathetic
Ejaculation - sympathetic

well to answer your first question...now i know where the mons pubis is. to your second question...i'd say "ouch, that's gotta hurt."😉

Today, during our final pelvis and perineum lecture the professor discussed the male sexual response and said that the "point and shoot" mnemonic is really wrong based on current knowledge.

He said that their are actually 3 phases of the sexual response: erection, emission, and ejaculation. He said that erection is a parasympathetic response, and that emission is actually the sympathetic response with the contraction (squeezing) of the smooth muscle of the prostate, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, etc. Finally he said that ejaculation is actually a somatic response because it is mediated by the Pudendal nerve.

So I came up with a mnemonic to remember the innervation of the male sexual response as we are expected to know it.

Point, Squeeze, and SPooge

Point (erection) is still parasympathetic

Squeeze (emission) is sympathetic

Spooge (ejaculation) is somatic pudendal

i'd agree. but to be accurate, it's the perineal nerve that branches off the pudendal n.(both from S2-4). the perineal n. innervates the bulbospongiosus muscle responsible for projectile ejaculation.

To remember structures passing through the superior orbital fissure:

thanks guys... i really loved the point squeeze and spooge... thanks i will never forget it ...amen

 

[heelshmeel]

My contribution -

The cranial nerves in order -
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh... To Touch And Feel A Girl's Vagina Ahh Heaven...

Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Auditory (or Vestibulocochlear), Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, Hypoglossal...


Or... to see if the nerves are Sensory or Motor, or Both -

Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Boobs Matter More!!!

 

[deleted29780]

ooh ur really into sexually motivated pneumonics, great though...thanx 😉

The axillary artery has mainly three divisions, in relation to the pectoralis minor and the inferior border of the teres major muscle. the 1st div, has 1 branch - superior thoracic artery.
2nd div has 2 branches - thoracoacromial n and lateral thoracic n.
3rd div has 3 branches - anterior and posterior circumflex humeral a. and the subscapular artery.

Quite easy to remember right 😛

One of my good friends dissection partners was named Virginia, so we changed the oh, oh, oh..... mnemonic a little bit to make it more memorable.

Oh, oh, oh to touch and feel Virginia's glorious vagina and hooters.

She really appreciated that one!

The perverted mnemonics are always the best ones. I know it is not anatomy but how many have heard the one on how to remember the steps of the Krebs cycle?

Cindy is kinky so she fornicates more often.

citrate, isocitrate, ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate

I might have succinyl-CoA and succinate reversed, but it's been a while since I took biochemistry.

 

[deleted29780]

i must admit, this is a very good pneumonic, thanx.

When it comes to structures passing thru the superior orbital fissure, some important nerves are "left" out of the tendinous ring.
THE "LEFT" nerves...
trochlear
frontal
lacrimal
I THINK THEY DESERVE TO BE LEFT OUT
😉

 

[HouseHead]

Anatomy is over anyway, but here goes...
The first and most basic mnemonic, as told by our first unit lab instructor:

The spinal erector muscles:
I Love Sex- Iliocostalis, Longissimus, and Spinalis.

So glad that's over!
