Anatomical Imaging-SU25 Flashcards
(61 cards)
a human standing, looking forward, feet together and pointing forward, palms facing forward with none of the long bones crossed from the viewer’s perspective
Standard Anatomical position
Parallel to the long axis of the body. Anterior- posterior slice that separates the body from left to right
Saggital Plane
Perpendicular to the long axis of the body and separates body from top (superior) to bottom (inferior)
Coronal Plane: Parallel to the long axis of the body and separates the body from front (anterior) to back (posterior).
Transverse Plane
planes refer any plane that uses a combination of those planes
Oblique Plane
Which surface anatomical landmark corresponds to L4 and is therefore crucial to identify prior to placing a lumbar epidural?
Inferior angle of scapula
Vertebra prominens
Superior aspect of iliac crest
Xyphoid process
Superior aspect of iliac crest
Your attending is performing a supraclavicular nerve block and they ask you what is the structure labeled B?
Subclavian artery
Middle scalene muscle
Brachial plexus nerves
Pleura
Brachial Plexus Nerves
What movement is used to describe when a patient moves their knee from a 90 degree position to a straight leg position?
Supination
Flexion
Pronation
Extension
Extension
Which ultrasound probe is most commonly used for peripheral nerve blocks?
Phased array
Curvilinear
Linear
Convex
Linear
You have just performed a spinal with bupivacaine prior to a cesarean section and you are assessing the patient’s dermatomes. She reports numbness up to her nipple line.
What dermatome level has been reached?
C8
T2
T4
T10
L3
T4
Divides the body into left and right hemispheres
Saggital Plane
Divides the body into superior and inferior plane
Transverse plane
Divide the body into Anterior/posterior
Coronal plane
Superior=
Cranial
Inferior=
Caudal
Medial=
Towards midline
Lateral=
Away from midline
Towards the body
Proximal
Away from the body
Distal
Dorsal (limb)
Top surface
back of the hand
top of the foot
Palmar (limb)
bottom of foot
palm of the hand
a bending movement around a joint in a limb (as in the knee or elbow) that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint
Flexion
the straightening of bones in relation to a joint, thereby increasing the angle between the bones at the joint
Extension
rotation of the hand so that the palmar side faces upward in supine position (standard anatomical position)
Supinate
rotation of the hand so that the palmar side faces downward in prone position
Pronate
