Important Points Of GENERAL

ANATOMY

1. All the sesamoid bones in body

NAMED
Patella,in quadricep femoris
Pisiform,in flexor carpi ulnaris
UNNAMED
In tendons of " ATP For GF"
Adductor pollicis brevis
Tibialis posterior.
Peroneus longus Flexor
Pollicis brevis
Gastrocnemius
Flexor hallucis brevis
2. There is no lymphatic,nerve supply,blood supply in cartilage they get all
by diffusion.
3. There is no definite lymphatic in bones.
4. Most of the pores on bones are by veins.
5. Belly of muscle is Not susceptible to pressure n not vulnerable to
infection
Opposite for tendon.tendons can bear pressure n vulnerable to infection
too.
6. Stratum lucidum(layer of epidermis) is in thick skin(palm and sole).
7. Significance of anastomosis is to provide collateral,alternate channels
and maintain equal
blood pressure.

8. Superficial lymphatic follows veins and deep lymphatics follow arteries.
9. Sinusoid(type of capillary) diff from typical capillaries
10. Because sinusoid joins the same vessels like venules to venules
opposite capillary joins
arterioles to venules.
11. The resistance vessels which r pre capillary sphincters n
arterioles,determine diastolic BP.
12. A muscle can take origin from various sites like, Serratus ant from
fascia, Lumbricals from
tendons , Gastrocnemius from Articular capsule of knee joint
brachioradialis and extensor carpi
radialis longus from intramuscular septa. 13. There is no deep fascia on
face.
14.Due to rich nerve supply ligaments play important role in reflex action.
15. T1-L2 r sympathetic nerves,S2-S4 r parasympathetic. 5.post primary
rami of C7,C8,L4,L5
never reach skin.
16. There is no parasympathetic innervation to erector pilae.
17. 1st cervical post ramus has no cutaneous branch. all nerve plexuses
formed by ant.primary
rami & innervate limbs.
18. Fibrocartilage does not have perichondrium
19. Collagen fibers r present in3 types of cartilage but not visible in
hyaline cartilage.

20. Knee & elbow joint r compound but knee joint is complex type of joint
too.
21.No fibrinogen is present in serum+synovial fluid
22. Brachialis+add magnus have dual nerve supply.
23. Articular disc/menisci behaves as shock absorber,not the aft pad.
24.Girdle means ring,shoulder girdle have 2 bone(scapula+clavicle),hip
girdle have 1
25. Sternoclavicular+acromioclavicular joint r included in shoulder girdle.
26. Markels endings r in stratum basal n action as mechanoreceptors
27.Meisener corpuscle r in DERMAL papillae act as mechanoreceptor
9.pacinian are present in dermis+hypodermis nactas
mechanoreceptor+vibration sensor.
28. AXIS of movements
a) In flexion & extension it is transverse/obliquely transverse axis but for
carpometacarpal it is
anteroposterior axis.
b) In abduction 7 adduction is towards/away median plane of body but in
carpometacarpal it is
transverse.
c) In rotatory movements,supination&pronation in superior radioulnar
joint it is oblique passes
from radius to ulna.
29. Rotatory movements at shoulder joint axis lie in humerus.
30. Spread of cancer(metastasis) can be via 3 routes ,
a) Direct seeding of serous membrane of body.
b) By lymphatic channel
c) by blood.
