RIXIMKA DUMARKA Structure [edit]. In the case of human ovaries, each one is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the ovarian fossa.The fossa usually lies beneath the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. It is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size.n humans the paired ovaries lie within the pelvic cavity, on either side of the uterus, to which they are attached via a fibrous cord called the ovarian ligament. The ovaries are uncovered in the peritoneal cavity but are tethered to the body wall via the suspensory ligament of the ovary.

The cubital fossa The cubital fossa is a triangular hollow area that lies in front of the elbow joint (Figure 1). It is bounded: 1  superiorly by an imaginary line connecting the medial and lateral epicondyles.2  medially by the pronator teres muscle. 3  laterally by the brachioradialis muscle.he deep fascia of the forearm forms its roof, which is strengthened by fibres of the bicipital aponeurosis. Lying on the roof in the superficial fascia are the anterior branches of the medial and lateral cutaneous nerves of the forearm and the median cubital vein, which joins the cephalic and basilic veins.

Mandibular Fossa Mandibular Fossa Definition Mandibular fossa is a concavity in the squamous portion of the skull's temporal bone. This is the area where the head of the mandible articulates with the articular disk. It allows the mouth to be closed and opened, meaning it exists to perform mastication. Its articular exterior is sheathed

Vascular anaesthesiaAnatomy of the antecubital fossa The antecubital fossa (ACF), so called because it lies anterior to the elbow, is the space through which the principal nerves and vessels pass into the forearm. Clinically it is an important site for vascular access, arteriovenous fistula formation and peripheral nerve block.

- The posterior wall is best visualized on the obturator oblique pelvic view. The obturator oblique and iliac oblique views make up the Judet views that are used to evaluate acetabular fractures, along with a standard AP pelvis radiograph. The obturator oblique pelvic view is best to view the anterior column and posterior wall in detail.

- Labial Abscess A labial abscess presents as a firm, very tender, reddened, unilateral mass. The mass arises from the upper portion of the labia minora, including the clitoral hood. This is in contrast to Bartholin cyst abscesses which arise from the lower (inferior) portion of the labia majora. Causes include infectious complications of trauma and infected skin glands.

Fossa Facts Fossa is a solitary and territorial animal. It uses special scent produced by the anal gland to mark its 4 square kilometer large territory. Fossa is very agile animal. It spends most of the time in the trees, by hanging from the branches or by jumping from one tree to another. Tail ensures required balance for all these acrobatic maneuvers.

Cephalic vein In human anatomy, the cephalic vein (also known as the antecubital vein)is a superficial vein of the upper limb. It communicates with the basilic vein via the median cubital vein at the elbow and is located in the superficial fascia along the anterolateral surface of the biceps brachii muscle.he vein may be used for intravenous access, and is sometimes referred to as the 'House-man's Friend' because a large bore cannula may be easily placed. However, the cannulation of a vein as close to the radial nerve as the cephalic vein can sometimes lead to nerve damage.

Cubital fossa [edit on Wikidata] The cubital fossa or elbow pit is the triangular area on the anterior view of the elbow of a human or other hominid animal. It is also called the antecubital fossa because it lies anteriorly to the elbow (Latin cubitus) when in standard anatomical position.

Sonography reveals causes of acute or chronic groin pain A sound knowledge of groin anatomy, particularly the inguinal canal and femoral triangle, is a prerequisite for ultrasound assessment of this region. The inguinal ligament, the inferior free edge of the external oblique aponeurosis running from anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to pubic tubercle, forms the floor of the inguinal canal and the superior margin of the femoral triangle.

Cubital fossa The cubital fossa contains four main vertical structures (from lateral to medial): 1  The radial nerve is in the vicinity of the cubital fossa, located between brachioradialis and brachialis muscles.everal veins are also in the area (for example, the median cubital vein, cephalic vein, and basilic vein) but these are usually considered superficial to the cubital fossa, and not part of its contents.

Retropubic space Retropubic space. Retropubic space is the extraperitoneal space between the pubic symphysis and urinary bladder. The retropubic space is preperitoneal space, behind the transversalis fascia and in front of peritoneum. It is also known as Cave of Retzius or Retzius' space, after Anders Retzius.

Mandibular fossa The boundary of Mandibular Fossa’s appears as a rounded projection in the anterior part. It is filled with a cartilage known as “Eminentia articularis” or “Articular tubercle”. The posterior boundary of the fossa acts as the tymapanic section of the temporal bone. It is a curved bony structure that separates the mandibular fossa from the External Acoustic Meatus (popularly known as the ear canal) or External Auditory Meatus.

Bicipital aponeurosis The bicipital aponeurosis (also known as lacertus fibrosus) is a broad aponeurosis of the biceps brachii which is located in the cubital fossa of the elbow and separates superficial from deep structures in much of the fossa. The bicipital aponeurosis originates from the distal insertion of the biceps brachii.While the tendon of the biceps inserts on the radial tuberosity, the aponeurosis reinforces the cubital fossa, and helps to protect the brachial artery and the median nerve running underneath.This protection is important during venipuncture (taking blood) from the median cubital vein.ome individuals (about 3% of the population) have a superficial ulnar artery that runs superficially to the bicipital aponeurosis instead of underneath it. These individuals are at risk for accidental injury to the ulnar artery during venipuncture.
