MACEH. Mamillary body…> Anterior thalamus..>Cingulated gyrus> Entorhinal cortex… ...Hipppocampus


LGN NOT PARTICIPATE IN PUPILLARY LIGHT REFLEX

RETINA = LGN= VISUAL CORTEX!


A Meckel's diverticulum, a true congenital diverticulum, is a small bulge in the small intestine present at birth. It is a vestigial remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct (also called the vitelline duct or yolk stalk), and is the most frequent malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. It is present in approximately 2% of the population,[1] with males more frequently experiencing symptoms.

NOT REMNANT OF VEIN

UMBILICAL VEIN = ROUND LIGAMENT OF LIVER


A memory aid is the rule of 2s: 2% (of the population). 2 feet (from the ileocecal valve). 2inches (in length). 2% are symptomatic. 2 types of common ectopic tissue (gastric and pancreatic). 2 years is the most common age at clinical presentation. 2 times more boys are affected.

COURSE OF MEDIAN NERVE
- position in distal forearm and in the carpal tunnel:
- see: carpal tunnel syndrome and surgical decompression and median nerve injuries at the wrist
- palmar cutaneous branch:
- runs between & deep to FCR (FLEXOR CARPI RADIALIS) & palmaris longus into carpal tunnel;
- nerve lies superficial to the tendons of the FDP(FLEXOR DIGITORUM PROFUNDUS) and FPL (FLEXOR POLICIS LONGUS);
- FDS tendons lie lateral to the nerve;
