    hindgut.
  171. Regarding the anterior cord syndrome:It is due to infarction of the cord supplied by the
    anterior spinal artery.
  172. Regarding the anterior cord syndrome: There is loss of
    • pain and temperature sensation, which is carried by the spinothalamic tracts
    • preservation of touch and proprioception, which is carried by the dorsal columns.
    • loss of motor function below the level of injury / infarction.
    • poorest prognosis for recovery of all the incomplete spinal cord injuries.

    • Tendon of psoas major
    • Femoral branch of genitofemoral nerve
    • Femoral nerve
  176. The right dome reaches the
    4th costal space (nipple line) in expiration.
  177. The left dome reaches the
    5th rib in expiration.
  178. The left common carotid artery lies
    anterior to the prevertebral fascia in the neck.
  179. The left inferior thyroid artery arises from the
    left thyrocervical trunk.
  180. Adductor longus, brevis and magnus are all supplied by the
    obturator nerve.
  181. In addition the hamstring part of adductor magnus is supplied by
    the sciatic nerve.
  182. Pectineus is supplied by the
    femoral nerve.
  183. Obturator externus
    externally rotates the hip.
  184. Gracilis is supplied by the
    obturator nerve.
  185. During pregnancy: the uterus is an
    • intrapelvic organ until ->12th gestational week.
    • lies at the costal margin->At 34-36 weeks
  186. All of the lumbricals attach proximally to
    flexor digitorum profundus.
  187. The lumbricals
    • FLEX the metacarpophalangeal joints
    • EXTEND both interphalangeal joints of the digits on which they insert.
  188. The 1st and 2nd lumbricals are innervated by the
    median nerve.
  189. The 3rd and 4th lumbricals are innverated by the
    deep branch of the ulnar nerve.
  190. The lumbricals insert into the aponeuroses of the
    • extensor muscles of the back of the hand.
    • This is also known as the extensor expansion or dorsal hood.
  191. The apex of the heart lies at the
    5th left intercostal space in the mid-clavicular line.
  192. The pulmonary valve lies to the left of the sternum at the upper level of the
    3rd costal cartilage.
  193. The mitral valve lies to the left of the sternum at the level of the
    4th costal cartilage.
  194. The tricuspid valve lies to the right of the sternum at the level of the
    4th costal cartilage.
  195. Flexor hallucis longus is innervated by the
    tibial nerve and specifically nerve roots S2 and S3.
  196. The muscles of the calf can be divided into two groups, superficial and deep.
    • The superficial group includes gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris.
    • The deep group includes politeus, flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus and tibialis posterior.
  197. Serratus anterior attaches to the
    1st to the 8th ribs.
  198. Pectoralis minor attaches to the
    3rd to the 5th ribs.
  199. Pectoralis major attaches to the
    1st to the 7th costal cartilages.
