What comprises malphigian corpuscles
Glomerulus + bowman’s capsule
Aka renal corpuscles
Location of thyroid gland
BELOW thyroid cartilage
AT THE LEVEL of cricoid cartilage
C4/C5
Adrenal cortex zones and what they primarily secrete
Zona glomerulosa (aldosterone -mineralocorticoids)
Zona fasiculata (cortisol -glucocorticoids)
Zona reticularis (androgens)
Drainage thru the superior vena cava
Hemiazygos vein, lumbar vein -> 1. azygos vein
2. Brachiocephalic veins
Drainage thru the inferior vena cava
Common iliac (External + internal)
Hepatic vein (hepatic portal vein: superior and inferior mesenteric + splenic vein)
Celiac artery consists of
Left gastric artery (stomach+ lower esophagus)
Common hepatic a (stomach, duodenum, liver)
Splenic a (spleen)
Major supply to the lower limbs
Femoral artery (external iliac)
Supplies the pelvic contents, bladder, lower rectum, uterus, vagina, prostate, penis, vas deferens
Internal iliac artery
Gonadal artery supplies ovaries and testes

Pharyngeal plexus: IX X XI
Innervation of laryngeal muscles
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (X) “arytenoids”
Except CRICOTHYROID (superior laryngeal nerve)
Abducts vocal cords

Adducts vocal cords
Oblique and transverse arytenoids -recurrent L.N (X)
Increases pitch
Cricothyroid -superior L.N (X)
Tenses and elongates
Decreases pitch
Thyroarytenoid - recurrent (X)
Shortens vocal cords and reduces tension
