True or false Meniges travel down sacral canal?
true
Why do disk herniate laterally?
because of the posterior longitudinal ligament. It is loosely attached to vertebra but tightly attached to disks
define nucleus pulposus?
part of disk that behaves like a liquid. Its a shock absorber and equalizes stress

In btwn the 2 fascia levels -- superficial superficial fascia and superficial deep fascia. The deep superficial fascia lies against the deep fascia that overlies the pectoralis major, forming the retromammary space in which a hand can be placed
Why are suspensory ligaments in the breast important?
they connect the deep superficial fascia to the super superficial fascia. If innervated by tumor this will cause tugging on the skin

Why is the axilla so important to the hand?
it’s the gateway to the upper extremity. All the nerves and blood vessels that go to spinal cord to the hand pass through here
whats unique about the long thoracic nerve?
It lies on top of the muscle.

What does it look like if you have no clavicle?
Rounded shoulders, scapula not held back
What does the subclavious muscle do?
It acts as a cushion for arteries
What makes the shoulder unstable? What helps this?
