- brings deoxygenated blood fromthe coronary veins back to the right atrium

fossa ovalis

- end of the embryonic structure(foramen ovale)connecting the two atria

rotatores, multifidus, semispinalis, intertransversarii

rotatores

good at rotation; short and stocky; transverse process to spinous process (1level)

multifidus

oblique, transverse process 2-4 levels above and attach to spinous process (side bend by themselves and ext)

semispinalis

6-8 levels transverse process to spinous process

intertransversarii

in btw transverse processes

levator scapulae

raises scapula, rotation of neck, side bend and rotation of neck; primary job = resists anterior shear of vertebrae

trace anterior thigh vasculature aorta down

aorta > internal and external iliac a > external iliac becomes femoral a > profound femoris (goes through adductor canal in add magnus), lateral circumflex a, medial circumflex a

posterior thigh vasculature down

aorta > common iliac a > internal iliac a > superior gluteal, inferior gluteal, perforating branches profunda femoris > popliteal a (at adductor hiatus) > anterior tibial a which becomes dorsalis pedis/posterior tibial a which becomes fibular a

ligamentum teres

runs through fovea capitis and supplies blood to head of femur; avascular necrosis (no mechanism of injury); comes from iliac a

medial circumflex a

supplies lateral part on outside of femoral head; fine unless fx neck of femur then cuts off flow to external femoral head

pulse points

femoral a, popliteal a, posterior tib a, dorsalis pedis a

decrease pulse at post tib a, but pulse at femoral is fine

not strong enough to pump down, poor circulation, check popliteal if normal, compartment syndrome (check dorsalis pedis = compartment syndrome if normal)

saphenous nerve

anterior and medial knee from femoral n; cutaneous n

diaphragm O, I, In, A

O: lower ribs, vertebral bodies L1-L3 and their disks, ALL, xiphoid process; I = central tendon; In = phrenic n C3-5; A = respiration

perforating branches

3 or 4 branches that perforate add magnus; supplies muscles in medial and posterior thigh

lateral femoral circumflex

wraps around anterior and lateral side of femur; supplies some muscles on lateral side of thigh

medial femoral circumflex

wraps around posterior side of femur; supplies head and neck of femur; can be damaged w/ femoral neck fx

superior gluteal a

exits above PF and supplies gluteal muscles

inferior gluteal a

exits below PF and supplies gluteal and muscles of post thigh

obturator a

descends through obturator canal to medial thigh

popliteal a

continuation of femoral a; gives off genicular branches that supply knee joint; divides into anterior and post tibial a

posterior tibial a

splits into medial and lateral plantar a which supplies plantar aspect of foot and toes; branches to fibular a in lower leg

cervical forward bending

inferior facet glides anterior and superior; increases lateral foramen diameter and vertebral canal widens

cervical back bending

inferior facet glides inferior and posterior on superior facet

rotation of cervical spine

ipsilateral: inferior/posterior glide; contralateral: superior/anterior glide (decreases intervertebral foramen diameter on ipsilateral side)
