  • atrophy
    The breast in postmenopausal women undergoes:
  • trochlea
    Part of the humerus that articulates with the the trochlear notch of the ulna:
  • ulnar nerve
    This arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus and descends in the interval between the axillary artery and vein and gives off no branches in the axilla:
  • clavicle
    What is the most commonly fractured bone in the body?
  • subscapularis, the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus and the teres minor muscles.
    The rotator cuff is composed of the tendons of the:
  • accessory phrenic nerve
    The nerve to the subclavius (C5 and 6) supplies the subclavius muscle. It is important clinically because it may give a contribution (C5) to the phrenic nerve; this branch, when present,is referred to as:
  • deltopectoral nodes
    These nodes are not strictly axillary nodes because they are located outside the axilla. They lie in the groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles and receive superficial lymph vessels from the lateral side of the hand, forearm, and arm.
  • axillary nerve
    Nerve supply of the deltoid muscle
  • dorsal scapular nerve

    This raises medial border of scapula upward and medially:
  • suspensory ligament
    The fibrous septa that separates the loves of the mammary gland:
  • long thoracic nerve
    nerve supply of the serratus anterior
  • suprascapular artery
    Branch/es of the axillary artery from the second part:
  • latissimus dorsi
    The following muscle is supplied by the thoracodorsal nerve"
  • pectoralis major
    Which muscle is inserted in to the lateral lip of the bicipital groove of the humerus?
  • glenoid cavity of the scapula

    The head of the humerus articulates with the:
  • long thoracic nerve
    nerve supply of the serratus anterior
  • subscapular nodes
    This may be palpated by pressing forward against the posterior surface of the pectoralis major muscle on the anterior wall of the axilla
  • scapula
    This is a flat triangular bone that lies on the posterior chest wall between the 2nd and 7th ribs:
  • 1st costal cartilage
    Origin of the subclavius muscle:
  • accessory nerve
    This nerve is involved in elevating the upper fibers of the scapula; middle fibers pull scapula medially; lower fibers pull medial border of scapula downward:
  • axillary tail
    Part of the breast that extends upward and laterally, pierces the deep fascia at the lower border of the pectoralis major muscle, and enters the axilla.
  • pectoralis minor
    What muscle divides the axillary artery into three parts?
  • upper lateral quadrant
    Approximately 60% of breast carcinomas occur in the:
  • 2nd to 7th ribs

    The scapula lies within:
  • Witch's milk
    The proliferation of the duct epithelium and the surrounding connective tissue may cause swelling of the mammary glands in both sexes during the first week of life; in some cases a milky fluid:
  • axillary vein
    medial relation of the first part of the axillary artery
  • By the upper four or five ribs and the intercostal spaces covered by the serratus anterior muscle
    This makes the medial wall of the axilla
  • first part
    The cephalic vein crosses the axillary artery:
  • pectoralis major latissimus dorsi
    The following medially rotates the arm:
  • glenoid cavity of the scapula
    The head of the humerus articulates with the:
  • long thoracic nerve
    nerve supply of the serratus anterior
  • Piriformis muscle

    It arises from the front of the lateral mass of the sacrum and leaves the pelvis to enter the gluteal region by passing laterally through the greater sciatic foramen:
  • 10-15 inches
    Length of sigmoid colon
  • tibial nerve
    A terminal branch of the sciatic nerve enters the popliteal fossa, lying first on the lateral side of the popliteal artery, then posterior to it, and finally medial to it.
  • Sacrospinous ligament
    It is attached by its base to the lateral nart of the sacrum and coccyx and by its apex to the spine of the ischium:
  • symphysis pubis
    The pelvic brim is bounded anteriorly by the:
  • ilium
    The upper flattened part of the hip bone
  • third sacral vertebra

    The rectum begins in front of the:
  • ureter
    It is a muscular tube that extends from the kidney to the posterior surface of the bladder.
  • infertior rectal artery
    It is a branch of the internal pudendal artery in the perineum. It anastomoses with the middle rectal artery at the anorectal junction.
