Extrinsic muscles of tongue [for pro soccer fans] "Paris
St. Germain's Hour":
Palatoglossus
Styloglossus
Genioglossus
Hyoglossus
· PSG is a French soccer team (foreign), hence extrinsic comes to mind.


Autonomics to the gut "The PARAsympathetics follow a
rule of TWO" [pair = two]:
· The vagus does the top, the sacral splanchnics the outflow tract.
"The sympathetics follow a rule of threes":
· Greater, lesser, least splanchnic nerves go to the celiac,superior and
inferior mesenteric ganglion.


External carotid artery branches "Some Angry
Lady Figured Out PMS":
Superior thyroid
Ascending pharyngeal
Lingual
Facial
Occipital
Posterior auricular
Maxillary
Superificial temporal


Descending abdominal aorta: seven divisions "Sometimes
Intestines Get Really Stretched Causing Leakage":
Suprarenals [paired]
Inferior mesenteric
Gonadal [paired]
Renals [paired]
Superior mesenteric

Carpal bones "Happy Cat Tom Took
Pie To Little Sister":

Lunate
Scaphoid


Brachial plexus: branches of posterior cord STAR:
Subscapular [upper and lower]
Thoracodorsal
Axillary
Radial


Saphenous veins: path of great vs. small at malleolus "MAGdelaine
has varicose veins" [The saphenous veins are important for varicose veins]:
Medial maleolus, Anterior to maleolus, and Great saphenous
go together.
Then the opposites of these go together: Small saphenous is posterior
to the lateral maleolus.


Menisci attachments in knee "Each meniscus has something
attached to it":
The medial meniscus has the medial collateral ligament.
The lateral meniscus is attached to the popliteal muscle.


Spermatic cord contents "3 arteries, 3 nerves,
3 other things":
3 arteries: testicular, ductus deferens, cremasteric.
3 nerves: genital branch of the genitofemoral, cremasteric, autonomics.
3 other things: ductus deferens, pampiniform plexus, lymphatics.
· Note some argument about this: Moore doesn't put in cremasteric nerve, Lumley
puts in inguinal...

Adductor Magnus innervated by Sciatic and Obturator.


Scalp layers SCALP:
· From superficial to deep:
Skin
Connective tissue
Aponeurosis

· 4 compass points: clockwise from north on the right side of neck:
Great auricular
Lesser occipital
Accessory nerve pops out between L and S
Supraclavicular
Transverse cervical


Liver: side with ligamentum venosum/ caudate lobe vs. side with
quadrate lobe/ ligamentum teres "VC goes with VC":
The Venosum and Caudate is on same side as Vena Cava
[posterior]. Therefore, quadrate and teres must be on anterior by default.


Joints in the midline "SC":
In medial line, below Second Cervical, joints are Secondary

· Notes: secondary cartilaginous is also known as symphysis. The one that
doesn't have a disc is xiphi-sternal.

Pronator teres
Flexor carpi radialis
Palmaris longus
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Your thumb below your 4 fingers shows the muscle which is deep to the other
four: Flexor digitorum superficialis.


Median and ulnar nerves: common features Each supply 1/2 of
flexor digitorum profundus.
Each supplies 2 lumbricals.
Each has a palmar cutaneous nerve that pops off prematurely.
Each supplies an eminence group of muscles [ulnar: hypothenar. median: thenar].
Each enters forearm through two heads [ulnar: heads of flexor carpi ulnaris.
median: heads of pronator teres].
Each has no branches in upper arm.
Each makes two fingers claw when cut at wrist.
Each supplies a palmaris [median: palmaris longus. ulnar: palmaris brevis].


Thyroids: relative sizes Thyroid looks like a bra (see
picture).
Breasts are bigger in women, so thyroid bigger in women.
Pregnant women have biggest breasts of all, so they have the biggest thyroids.

Squeeze Charlie's Girl?":
Muscular
Infrahyoid
Superior laryngeal
Sternomastoid
Cricothyroid
Glandular


Abdominal muscles "Spare TIRE around their abdomen":
Transversus abdominis
Internal abdominal oblique
Rectus abdominis
External abdominal oblique
Perineal vs. peroneal Perineal is in between
the legs.
Peroneal is on the leg.

Jejunum
Ileum
Appendix
