45 - Lymph nodes of Neck






























*The lymph nodes of the neck can be divided into six levels within the defined anatomic triangles. These groups and the areas that they drain are particularly important when locating and working up a "neck mass" or possible malignancy. The groups and drainage areas are as follows:

I--Submental and submandibular nodes
II--Upper jugulodigastric group
III--Middle

44 - Coronary sinus
















*The coronary sinus is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the myocardium of the heart.
*It is present in humans and other animals.
*The coronary sinus opens into the auricle, between the inferior vena cava and the auriculo-ventricular opening.
*It returns the blood from the substance of the heart, and is protected by a

43 - Adductor canal (Subsartorial/Hunter's canal)

























*The adductor canal (Subsartorial/Hunter’s canal) is an aponeurotic tunnel in the middle third of the thigh, extending from the apex of the femoral triangle to the opening in the Adductor magnus, the Adductor hiatus.

*It courses between the anterior compartment of thigh and the medial compartment of thigh, and has the following boundaries:

1. anterolaterally - the Vastus

42 - Uterine artery



















*The uterine artery arises from the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery(hypogastric artery) .
*Its course is at first downwards and forwards until it reaches the parametrium when it turns medially towards the uterus.
*It reaches the uterus at the level of the internal os, where it turns upwards, at right angles, and follows a spiral course along the lateral border of the

40 - Pelvic diaphragm




The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus(ishciococcygeus), and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis. The pelvic diaphragm is a muscular partition formed by the levatores ani and coccygei, with which may be included the parietal pelvic fascia on their upper and lower aspects. The pelvic floor separates

39 - Urogenital diaphragm

Most of the support of the perineum is provided by the pelvic and urogenital diaphragms.


The urogenital diaphragm is external to the pelvic diaphragm and includes the triangular area between the ischial tuberosities and the symphysis. The urogenital diaphragm is made up of the deep transverse perineal muscles, the constrictor of the urethra, and the internal and external fascial coverings (
