Anatomy Trivia | Nerve Edition, Part 8️⃣

🧐 What is the connecting branch and main nerve that creates the superior and inferior alveolar nerve?

COMMENT YOUR ANSWER

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

If you guessed the Trigeminal Nerve, you got it!

The trigeminal nerve (Cranial Nerve V, or CN V) is the largest cranial nerve, responsible for sensation in the face (touch, pain, temperature) and motor control for chewing muscles; it branches into three main divisions: the Ophthalmic (V1) for the forehead/eye, Maxillary (V2) for the cheek/upper jaw, and Mandibular (V3) for the lower jaw/tongue/chewing muscles, with dysfunction often leading to severe facial pain known as trigeminal neuralgia.

💥Structure & Function💥

👉Sensory: Carries touch, pain, and temperature signals from the face, eyes, mouth, sinuses, and teeth to the brain.

👉Motor: Controls the muscles used for chewing (mastication).

👉Branches: Splits into three main nerves, each covering a specific facial area:

💥Ophthalmic (V1): Forehead, scalp, upper eyelid, cornea, nose.

💥Maxillary (V2): Cheek, lower eyelid, upper lip, upper teeth/gums, nasal cavity.

💥Mandibular (V3): Lower lip, lower teeth/gums, jaw, tongue (sensation), and chewing muscles

Shoulders Rounding Forward? 😒

Listen here, this is a very common posture! We need to work to bring the shoulders back by creating space on the front side of our body so that our mid-spine region can gain some motion. 👏

This way the shoulder blades have space to freely move back into place! ✅

Anatomy Trivia | Nerve Edition, Part 7️⃣

🧐 What are the 3 layers that wrap the spine?

COMMENT YOUR ANSWER!

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

If you guessed,

Pia, Arachnoid, and Dura you got it ✅

Let’s learn more ⬇️

The pia, arachnoid, and dura are the three protective layers of the meninges, surrounding the brain and spinal cord, from deepest to outermost: Pia Mater (delicate inner layer, follows brain contours), Arachnoid Mater (middle, web-like layer containing CSF), and Dura Mater (tough outer layer attached to skull).

Together, the pia and arachnoid are the leptomeninges, while the spaces between them (subarachnoid, subdural, epidural) are vital for cushioning and protection, filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space.

📖Layers of the Meninges (Superficial to Deep)

⭐️Dura Mater (Dura):

💥Description: The outermost, thick, tough, fibrous layer, Latin for “hard mother”.

💥Location: Adheres to the inner surface of the skull and vertebral column.

💥Clinical Relevance: An epidural space (potential space between skull and dura) exists, and hemorrhages here (epidural hematoma) are serious.

⭐️Arachnoid Mater (Arachnoid):

💥Description: The middle, thin, delicate, spiderweb-like layer, Latin for “spider mother”.

💥Location: Lies just beneath the dura and above the pia, with spider-like fibers (arachnoid trabeculae) extending down.

💥Clinical Relevance: The subarachnoid space, between the arachnoid and pia, contains CSF and major blood vessels, making it prone to bleeding (subarachnoid hemorrhage).

⭐️Pia Mater (Pia):

💥Description: The innermost, very thin, delicate layer, Latin for “tender mother”.

💥Location: Closely adheres to the brain and spinal cord, dipping into every fold (sulci).

💥Clinical Relevance: Its close attachment to the brain is crucial for its structure.

The Suboccipital Muscles!

🧐Explore the intriguing suboccipital region, located beneath the bump on the back of the skull known as the external occipital protuberance. This pyramidal area houses:

💥Atlas and axis, the first two cervical vertebrae

💥Four pairs of muscles: re**us capitis posterior major & minor, obliquus capitis inferior & superior

🔺The suboccipital triangle, framed by three of these muscles, contains key structures:

- Vertebral artery
- Suboccipital nerve (first cervical nerve)

👉Borders of the triangle:

💥Superomedial: re**us capitis posterior major

💥Superolateral: obliquus capitis superior

💥Inferolateral: obliquus capitis inferior

👉Additionally:

💥Semispinalis capitis forms the triangle’s roof

💥Fibrous fat is beneath the semispinalis capitis

💥Posterior atlanto-occipital membrane and atlas form the floor

👉Muscle actions:

💥Rectus capitis posterior major: extends and rotates head to the same side

💥Rectus capitis posterior minor: assists in extension and rotation

💥Obliquus capitis inferior: aids in same-side rotation

💥Obliquus capitis superior: performs extension and lateral bending

✅Understanding the suboccipital region’s anatomy is key to grasping how we move and sustain posture. This small region plays a vital role in neck functionality.

Anatomy Trivia | Muscle Edition, Part 6️⃣

🧐 What is the term used ti describe a passageway in tbe body that is still considered an organ but can close off one area to another?

COMMENT YOUR ANSWER!

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

If yiu guessed Sphincter, you were right!

👉A sphincter muscle is a ring-like muscle that tightens to close a body opening or passage, controlling the flow of substances like food, waste, or urine, with some working involuntarily (like the internal a**l sphincter) and others voluntarily (like the external a**l sphincter, controlling defecation).

👉Found throughout the body, including the digestive tract (pyloric sphincter), urinary system, and even the eye (pupil), these muscles regulate essential bodily functions by relaxing to allow passage and contracting
to hold things in.

Key Functions & Examples:

💥Digestion: The pyloric sphincter controls food leaving the stomach, while a**l sphincters manage waste elimination.

💥Urination: The sphincter urethrae helps control urine release from the bladder.

💥Involuntary Control: Most sphincters, like the internal a**l sphincter, work automatically to prevent leakage.

💥Voluntary Control: The external a**l sphincter allows you to consciously hold back or release stool, and the sphincter pupillae constricts the pupil in bright light.

Types of Sphincters:

💥Anal: Internal (involuntary) and External (voluntary) control bowel movements.

💥Pyloric: Regulates food passage from the stomach to the small intestine.

💥Urethral: Manages urine flow from the bladder.

💥Pupillary: Adjusts the size of the pupil in the eye

Ankle Mobility Test! 🦶

💥This motion is only testing out the one joint of the foot, but it is one of the most important as it puts our ankle through Doris flexion and plantar flexion.

💥If we are able to move our knee forward with ease we know that force coming from above will move the talus back in relation to the tibia, fibula, and smaller joints of the foot all slightly articulating during the movement.

💥When we lack mobility, even in our hips, this can go down chain to this joint and cause other problems within the foot. A improper distribution of force through movement at the joint can work back up chain to potentially cause knee issues, and or hip compensation.

Anatomy Trivia | Bone Edition, Part 4.

🧐 What is the sesamoid bone that is in front of the knee called?

COMMENT YOUR ANSWER I WILL RESPOND!

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

If you guess the:

⭐️PATELLA, you got it

💥The patella, or kneecap, is the largest sesamoid bone in the body, located at the front of the knee, embedded in the quadriceps tendon to protect the knee joint and improve the quadriceps muscle’s leverage for extending the leg.

💥Shaped like a rounded triangle, it glides in a groove on the femur (thigh bone) and connects the quadriceps muscle to the shinbone (tibia) via tendons, facilitating smooth movement like walking, running, and bending.

💥Key Features & Functions💥

👉Location: Front of the knee joint, covering the articulation between the femur and tibia.

👉Type of Bone: The largest sesamoid bone, meaning it’s embedded within a tendon (the quadriceps tendon).

💥Attachments:
👉Top (Base): Attaches to the powerful quadriceps muscle via the quadriceps tendon.

👉Bottom (Apex): Attaches to the tibia (shinbone) via the patellar ligament.

💥Primary Role:
👉Protection: Shields the knee joint from impact.

👉Leverage: Increases the mechanical advantage of the quadriceps, making leg extension more efficient.

👉Movement: Guides the knee’s motion, allowing for smooth flexion (bending) and extension (straightening).
