Vertebral levels in anatomy

Does anyone know of a document which simply lists all the major structures at each vertebral level? It seems to be a favorite question for the anatomy tutors for any organ/bifurcation/hiatus/etc. and also seems to appear on exams with some regularity.

Thanks!

Those are dermatomes. Embryology is where you need to go.

Dermatomes and vertebral level landmarks are not even close to the same

👍

I haven't looked at it yet but everyone seems to be recommending BRS anatomy.

Hi Calvin, I'm afraid I may not have been very clear in the OP. I was wondering if anyone knew of a comprehensive resource which correlates all the major structures in the body to some surface landmark.

If you had bothered to hit enter on that search you'd realize that there is a surprising paucity of information freely available, and that which is out there is in reference to only very specific structures rather than human anatomy in general.

Well assuming you actually are a medical student, you should have covered this information already in class and it should be in your lecture notes.

The clinical anatomy book by snell (I think most schools assign this text right?) has everything you should need. I can recite most of the important stuff off the top of my head (which is disgusting) but I mean you really should have this in your textbooks and lecture notes. I know every exam for us has had this kind of content on it, or at least you had to know it to read the imaging questions.

No I'm right T10 of the Esophagus is a Dermatome.

That is absolutely not what your first question asked. Go back and read it. You're now asking a totally different question that doesn't have much to do with vertebral levels.

The first link has a pretty decent list that you can add to if its not comprehensive.

I don't even know what you mean by "very specific structures rather than human anatomy in general".

calvinandhobbs' post gave this link which has most of the quick ones I though of. I didn't see one for vertebral levels that correspond to spinal cord structures like conus medullaris, but most of it is there.
