REVIEW OF BLOOD SUPPLY OF HAND( Series 01) – Anatomy
REVIEW OF BLOOD SUPPLY OF HAND( Series 01) – Anatomy
BASIC REVIEW
Main Arteries Involved:
1.
Subclavian Artery
2.
Axillary Artery
3.
Brachial Artery
4.
Radial Artery
5.
Ulnar Artery
SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY:
Left Subclavian artery arises from Aorta
Right Subclavian artery arises from brachiocephalic truck
When the subclavian arteries cross the lateral edge of the
1st rib, they enter the axilla, and are called
axillary arteries.
AXILLARY ARTERY
It passes through the axilla just under the pectoralis minor
muscle enclosed within the axillary sheath.
At the level of the humeral surgical neck, the posterior and
anterior circumflex humeral arteries
arise.
The subscapular artery, the largest branch of the axillary
artery, arises at the lower border of the Subscapularis muscle.
The axillary artery becomes the brachial artery at
the level of the teres major muscle.
BRACHIAL ARTERY
The brachial artery is the main source of blood for the arm
Immediately distal to the teres major, the brachial artery
gives rise to the profunda brachii
– the deep artery of the arm (It supplies structures in the posterior aspect of
the arm).
The brachial artery descends down the arm immediately
posterior to the median nerve.
When it crosses the cubital fossa,
underneath the brachialis muscle, the brachial artery terminates by bifurcating into
the radial and ulnar nerves.
RADIAL and ULNAR ARTERY:
The radial artery supplies the posterior aspect of the
forearm and the ulnar artery supplies the anterior aspect.
The two arteries anastomose in the hand, by forming two
arches, the superficial palmar arch, and the deep palmar arch.

Klinefelter’s syndrome
Klinefelter’s syndrome
Affects 1 in 1000 males
Karyotype : 47XXY or
46XY/47XXY mosaicism
The main pathological abnormality is dysgenesis of the
seminiferous tubules. Mostly by puberty hypogonadism is evident.
Clinical features :
·
Usually presents during adolescents with gynecomastia
and failure to progress normally through puberty.
·
Small, firm testis
·
Tall stature (due to delayed or lack of
epiphyseal closure)
·
Learning difficulties and behavioural disorders
(rarely)
·
Predisposition to type 2 DM in later life.
·
46XY/47XXY mosaicism may pass through the
puberty uneventfully and is usually diagnosed as a part of infertility
treatment.

MALE URETHRA RELEVANT ANATOMY
MALE URETHRA RELEVANT ANATOMY
It has four parts
1.
Prostatic
2.
Membranous
3.
Bulbar
4.
Penile
What is Verumontanum?
It’s a small
hillock of tissue indented at its crown by a pit called utriculus masculinus
which marks the proximal extent of the external urethral sphincter and is an
important landmark for urologists performing transurethral prostate resection.
What is Navicular Fossa?
The penile urethra becomes dilated at the glans penis where is called navicular fossa.
\
Commonest site of urethral injury during pelvic fracture?
Membranous urethra
