2. 5
3. 8
4. 13
5. 2
I assume the correct answer is 3 because in the lecture prof talked about 3
But in the axillary region of the human body we have around 20-30 different lymph nodes.
Left gonadal vein drains into?
The right gonadal vein (GV=testicular vein in men, ovarian vein in women) usually drains into the inferior vena cava (IVC) while the left gonadal vein drains into the left renal vein (RV).
Middle rectal artery origin
A branch of the internal iliac artery.
What’s true about the lower vascular pole of the testes?
The lower vascular pole of the testes typically refers to the lower part of the testicular blood supply. The testicular arteries, which arise from the abdominal aorta, travel into the scrotum and give rise to multiple branches that supply the testes. The vascular pole refers to the area where these vessels enter and exit the testes. The blood supply is crucial for providing oxygen and nutrients to the testicular tissues and for the regulation of temperature within the scrotum, which is essential for spermatogenesis (sperm production).

Adductor longus
The adductor longus is a muscle located in the thigh. Here are some key points about the adductor longus:
- Location: The adductor longus is one of the muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh.
- Origin: It originates from the pubic bone.
- Insertion: The muscle inserts into the middle third of the linea aspera on the posterior surface of the femur.
- Action: The primary action of the adductor longus is to adduct the thigh, meaning it helps bring the thigh toward the midline of the body.
- Innervation: It is innervated by the obturator nerve.
The adductor longus is part of the adductor muscle group, contributing to movements involving the inner thigh and hip joint.
Attachment of the arytenoid cartilage
Cricoid cartilage.
The base of the each arytenoid cartilage articulates with the superior border of the cricoid cartilage
Arytenoid cartilage is very important for the sound production
Gastroesophageal junction
The gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) is the anatomical region where the esophagus connects to the stomach. It involves both muscular and sphincteric structures. Here’s a detailed overview:
- Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES): This muscular structure is a crucial component of the gastroesophageal junction. It is located at the distal end of the esophagus, just above the stomach. The LES acts as a sphincter to prevent gastric contents from refluxing back into the esophagus.
- Diaphragmatic Hiatus: The esophagus passes through an opening in the diaphragm called the esophageal hiatus. This hiatus allows the esophagus to connect with the stomach.
- Z-Line: The Z-line is the anatomical boundary between the esophageal mucosa and the gastric mucosa. It is a visible landmark indicating the transition from squamous epithelium (in the esophagus) to columnar epithelium (in the stomach).
- Cardia of the Stomach: The region of the stomach closest to the gastroesophageal junction is referred to as the cardia. This area is important in preventing reflux of stomach contents back into the esophagus.
- Gastroesophageal (Cardiac) Sphincter: This term is sometimes used to describe the functional aspect of the region where the esophagus meets the stomach. It represents the coordinated action of the LES, the diaphragmatic hiatus, and the cardia of the stomach in preventing reflux.
Understanding the anatomy and function of the gastroesophageal junction is crucial in the context of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other disorders affecting this region. Issues with the lower esophageal sphincter or the competence of the junction can lead to reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn.
Location of detrusor muscle
The detrusor muscle is a smooth muscle layer found in the wall of the urinary bladder. It is the main muscle responsible for the contraction of the bladder during the voiding phase of micturition (urination). The detrusor muscle surrounds the bladder and is arranged in a complex network, allowing it to contract and expel urine from the bladder into the urethra.
The coordinated contraction of the detrusor muscle, along with relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter, facilitates the expulsion of urine from the bladder during the urination process.

Winged scapula
Serratus anterior connects scapula to the rib cage
Micro of ureters
Examining the microscopic anatomy (histology) of the ureters reveals the following features:
- Transitional Epithelium: The inner lining of the ureters is covered by a specialized epithelium called transitional epithelium. This type of epithelium allows for stretching and recoiling as the ureters undergo changes in volume due to the passage of urine.
- Muscularis Layer: The wall of the ureters contains a muscular layer known as the muscularis. The muscularis is composed of smooth muscle fibers organized into inner longitudinal and outer circular layers. These muscles contract rhythmically to propel urine from the kidneys to the bladder through peristaltic movements.
- Submucosa: The submucosa is a connective tissue layer beneath the transitional epithelium. It contains blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves that support the function of the ureters.
- Adventitia: The outermost layer of the ureters is the adventitia, which is primarily composed of connective tissue. The adventitia helps anchor the ureters to surrounding structures.
Understanding the histological structure of the ureters is essential for comprehending their function in transporting urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Vertebral canal
The vertebral canal is a bony canal formed by the vertebral foramen of consecutive vertebrae in the spine. Here are key points about the vertebral canal:
- Location: The vertebral canal runs longitudinally within the vertebral column, extending from the base of the skull to the sacrum.
- Contents: It houses and protects the spinal cord, the meninges (protective layers covering the spinal cord), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Formation: The vertebral canal is formed by the vertebral foramen, which is the opening in the vertebrae through which the spinal cord passes.
- Intervertebral Foramina: Gaps between adjacent vertebrae create openings called intervertebral foramina. These openings allow spinal nerves to exit the vertebral canal and branch out to various parts of the body.
- Protection of Spinal Cord: The vertebral canal provides a bony encasement that helps protect the delicate spinal cord from mechanical damage.
The vertebral canal is a vital component of the vertebral column, serving as a protective passage for the spinal cord and associated structures.
Right colic artery originates from which artery?
Superior mesenteric artery(which arised from the abdominal aorta.)
SMA supplies; primary blood supplier of the small intestine(jejunum and ileum), cecum and appendix, ascending colon(right colic artery), proximal Two-Thirds of the transverse colon(middle colic artery).
The proximal one-thirds of the duodenum receives blood from celiac trunk but distal 2/3 supplied by SMA

The lateral circumflex artery supplies what?
The lateral circumflex artery is a branch of the left coronary artery, it supplies the lateral wall of the left ventricle. It runs along the outer surface of the heart.
Left coronary artery branches off;
-Left anterior descending artery(LAD)=Descends along the anterior interventricular groove and supplies blood to the anterior two-thirds of the interventricular septum and anterior wall of the left ventricle
-left circumflex artery(LCx)= Runs to the left in the AV groove also known as the coronary sulcus. It supplies lateral and posterior walls of the left ventricle.

Serratus anterior
Location of myenteric plexus in the small intestine(Auerbach’s Plexus)
The myenteric plexus, also known as Auerbach’s plexus, is a network of nerves located in the muscular layer (muscularis externa) of the gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestine. Specifically, the myenteric plexus is situated between the inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle within the muscularis externa.
Myenteric plexus involved in the muscle movements of the GI tract such as peristalsis and it is not involved in the secretions to the lumen. It is the key regulator of smooth muscle contractions and overall gastrointestinal motility.
