46
Glabella
the smooth part of the forehead above and between the eyebrows.
47
The Popliteal Fossa
is a diamond-shaped space behind the knee joint
48
The medial epicondyle of the femur
is an epicondyle, a bony protrusion, located on the medial side of the femur at its distal end. Right knee-joint. Anterior view.
49
Lateral malleolus
is the name given to the bone on the outside of the ankle joint, called the fibula.
50
The greater trochanter of the femur
is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence and a part of the skeletal system.
51
The anterior boundary
is called the anterior axillary fold and this is rounded in shape and formed by the lower border of the pectoralis major.
52
The acromion process
is the origin of the acromial head of the deltoid muscle, which courses distally and covers the scapular neck.
53
What is needling relative to?
Skin surface as opposed to absolute horizontal
54
Signs of Pneumothorax and causes
chest pain, tightness, cough, short breath, tachycardia, hypotension, sweating, loss of conciousness. Needling space between pleaura layers can cause it
55
Organs to take care needling around
pleura, lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder
56
Pleurea layers
Parietal Pleurea: cover inside thoracic cavity (upper diaphragm and meadiastinum holding heart and great vessels) Visceral Pleurea: covers each lung separately
57
Pleaural cavity
Potential space between layers of pleaura
58
Pleural cavity
Superclavicular fossa supperior to 8th rib in the mid clavicular line to 10th rib midline to 12 rib lateral to erector spinae
59
Resting lung position
2 rib spaces above pleural reflection anteriorly, medially, and laterally
60

rests on diaphragm particularly if enlarged
61
Liver location
under diaphragm in right subcostal area, extends to midline epigastric area
62
