UMDNJSOM
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Midspinal line | Runs in the midline overlying the spinous processes of the entire vertebral column from occiput to the coccyx. |
| What is deviated in scoliosis? | Midspinal line. Makes an S. |
| Paravertebral line | Corresponds to the tips of transverse processes of the vertebral column. Relevant in diagnosing somatic dysfunction. |
| Cervical line vs Thoracocolumbar line | Cervical line is more medial. |
| Line of the angle of the ribs | Only in thoracic cage. Two inches lateral to paravertebral line. Corresponds with ribs. Most medial point where you can palpate the rib. |
| Jugular Notch | Level of T2. Hole above the sternum. |
| Costo | Rib |
| Chondro | Cartillage |
| Sternal Angle | Top of sternum where it angles. |
| Costochondral Junctions | Where the rib meets cartillage, stops being bone. |
| Costosternal junctions | Where rib meets sternum. Only 7 make way to sternum. First 6. 7-10 all fuse before they get there into cartillage. |
| Costoclavicular space | Space under the clavicle |
| Sternoclavicular joint | Sternum meets clavicle |
| Acromioclavicular Joint | Acromion attaches to other end of clavicle. |
| Coracoid Process | Process above the armpit |
| Greater Tubercle of Humerus | outer part of humerus head. |
| Lesser tubercle of Humerus | Inner part of humerus head. |
| Anterior Superior Iliac Spine | The hip bone that you can feel. Furthest out. |
| Pubic Symphysis | Connection of the two parts of the hip. in the middle, under genitalia |
| Greater trochanter of femur | Highest part of femur. |
| Transverse process of L5 | top of the hip |
| External auditory meatus | Earhole |
| Angle of Mandible | Where mandible changes direction. Back of Jaw |
| Lateral Epicondyle of Humerus | Meets the elbow |
| Radial Head | In anatomical position, the bone that is lateral in the arm. |
| Olecranon process | Bony prominence on elbow |
| Antecubital fossa | Space when you bend your elbow |
| Anterior body line | bottom of sternum |
| posterior body line | opposite the anterior body line |
| Cervical lordosis | Curved. bulging out front. |
| Thoracic Kyphosis | Curved so back goes out back. |
| Lumbar Lordisis | Sacral curve. goes inwards. |
| Sacral Kyphosis | above the buttcrack. |
| Popliteal fossa | Fossa in knee |
| Lateral Malleolus | Lateral bump on ankle. Part of fibula. |
| Medial Malleolus | Medial bump on ankle. Part of tibia. |
| Fibular Head | Proximal Part. |
| Fibula/Tibia | Tibia is Bigger. Fibula is smaller. Fibula is lateral. Tibia is medial. |
| Radius/Ulna | In Anatomical Position, Radius is lateral, ulna is medial. |
| Mid Gravitational Line | Shows someones center of gravity. These structures should all line up. Lateral Malleolus, Lateral Epicondyle of humerus, Greater tubercle of humerus, External Auditory Meatus, Greater trochanter of femur, |
| Shifting structures in reference to mid gravitational line | Will push center of gravity towards the way you are shifting structure. |
| External Occipal Protuberance | Inion. Bump on back of head. |
| Vertebra Prominens | usually c7. Big bump when you go down spine. |
| Spinous Process of T1 | Right below c7 aka vertebra prominens |
| Spine of scapula | Level of t3. part of scapula that is prominent. |
| Medial border of scapula | Border closest to the middle of the spine |
| Inferior angle of scapula | Level of T7. Bottom Top of spine. |
| Lateral Body Line | most lateral part of trunk. your side. |
| Iliac Crest | Level of L4. about elbow height. Can feel on sides. |
| Posterior Superior Iliac Spine | Level of S2. in the butt. |
| Ischial Tuberosity | bottom of butt |
| Gluteal Fold | Buttcrack |
| Achiles tendon | Back of foot |
| Sacral Landmarks | Inferior Lateral Angle of the Sacrum. Sacral Sulcus (depth between PSIS and sacral base). |
| Glabella | Forehead |
| Zygomatic Arch | Cheek bone under eye. |
| Vomer | Bone under nose |
| Symphysis Menti | Chin. Where the two sides meet. |
| Ramus of mandible | furthest portion back of mandible. above the angle. |
| Pterion | Temple |
| Zygomatic Arch | Cheekbone extension towards the ear |
| Mental Protuberance | Chin |
| Maxilla | Upper Jaw |
| Occiput | Base of skull, meets Inion |
| Temporal Bone | Where ear is. houses inner ear |
| Parietal bone | Superior to massiter muscle. can flex by clenching massiter |
| frontal bone | forehead |
| temporomandibular joint | right in front of ear. the zygomatic arch and the mandible meet here. |
