Afferent vs efferent

- Afferent connection arrives and an efferent connection exits.

Bowel components

From proximal to distal: Duodenum Jejunum Ileum Appendix Colon

Brachial plexus

- Really Tired - Drink Coffee - Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords Posterior cord branches: subscapular (upper and lower), thoracodorsal, axillary, radial

Carotid sheath contents

I See (I.C.) = Internal Carotid artery 10 = CN 10 (Vagus nerve) CC = Common Carotid artery IV = Internal Jugular Vein I See 10 CC's in the IV

Cavernous sinus contents

O TOM are lateral wall components, in order from superior to inferior. CA are the components within the sinus, from medial to lateral. CA ends at the level of T from O TOM. Occulomotor nerve (III) Trochlear nerve (IV) Ophthalmic nerve (V1) Maxillary nerve (V2)

Coeliac trunk: branches

Left gastric artery Hepatic artery Splenic artery Left Hand Side (LHS)

Contents of Anterior Leg Compartment

Tibialis anterior extensor Hallucis longus anterior tibial Artery deep fibular Nerve extensor Digitorum longus Peronius tertius aka fibularis tertius

Diaphragm apertures: spinal levels

- Aortic hiatus = 12 letters = T12 Oesophagus = 10 letters = T10 Vena cava = 8 letters = T8 I ate 10 eggs at 12: I = IVC ate = T8

Duodenum: lengths of parts

1st part: 2 inches 2nd part: 3 inches 3rd part: 4 inches 4th part: 1 inch "Counting 1 to 4 but staggered"

Endocrine glands

The major glands of the endocrine system, excluding ovaries and testes. Thymus Thyroid Anterior pituitary Adrenal cortex Adrenal medulla

Extraocular muscles

Lateral Rectus - Cranial Nerve VI Superior Oblique - Cranial Nerve IV the Rest of the muscles - Cranial Nerve III LR6SO4R3

G.I. tract layers (simplified)

Mucosa Submucosa Muscularis propria Serosa M.S.M.S.

Internal iliac artery: branches

Posterior division: Iliolumbar artery Lateral sacral artery Superior gluteal artery Anterior division:

Lateral geniculate nucleus

- A simple mnemonic for remembering this is "See I? I see, I see," with "see" representing the C in "contralateral," and "I" representing the I in "ipsilateral." Another is "Emily and Pete meet eye to eye" as in "M and P meet I to I," or again, Magno and Parvo meet Ipsi to Ipsi. Another way of remembering this is 2+3=5, which is correct, so ipsilateral side, and 1+4 doesn't equal 6, so contralateral.
