Blog moved

Just letting you all know (again, just in case) that some time ago I moved my blog to Neuromedical :)

It’s more convenient for me to have it as a side blog and I post to it way more regularly than I did here, so if you’re still interested... yeah :)

In case you have no idea who I am, I’m a 2nd year medical student with a lot of problems, but also a lot of aspirations :)

The blog has been moved! Yay!

As I’ve mentioned, to make the blog way more active I moved it to my main account so it’s always right under my nose.

I updated the tags and pages and pretty much made it a bit better (in my opinion).

So if you’re still interested in following my med journey with a splash of medical stuff, you can do so @thedoctorwannabe :)

I will be deleting this blog a few weeks later, I think.

Moving the blog

Hi guys,

I don’t go here nearly as often as I’d like to. It’s caused mainly by the fact that I have to either log out of my personal/fandom blog and again log into this account or I have to use a different browser.

None of those things happen too often.

So I’m thinking of joining this blog with my other blogs - making it a secondary blog. I couldn’t have done that beore, because I wanted the ask option to be there and you couldn’t have asks for secondary blogs before.

Soo yeah. I will be moving this blog. First I’ll reblog majority of the material from here to there so it’s not all bare and then I’ll let you know about the URL change. (It won’t be a URL change, but if you’re interested in this blog you’ll still have to re-follow it, I’m sorry.)

I just really want an active science/med/studyblr. Especially now that I’m getting closer to my first hospital rotations in MS3.

So yeah, I’ll let you know and anyone interested can follow me there, on a hopefully much more active blog :)

When you successfully sign up for an exam among all the sharks - your classmates and are a little too excited about it :D 

Signign up for an exam is the most stressful thing at this school I’m not even kidding you. Four more years...

MUSCLES OF THE ARM

1. Anterior view (a)

2. Posterior view (b)

DELTIOID (a) - The deltoid is the prime mover of arm abduction along the frontal plane.

TRICEPS (a) (b) -  This muscle is responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).

BICEPS (a) - The large muscle in the upper arm that turns the hand to face palm uppermost and flexes the arm and forearm.

BRACHIALIS (a) (b) - A muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint.

EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS (LONGUS) (a) (b) - A muscle in the forearm that acts to extend and abduct the wrist.

BRACHIORADIALIS (a) (b) - A muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow. It is also capable of both pronation and supination.

FLEXOR CAPRI RADIALS (a) - A muscle that acts to flex and (radial) abduct the hand.

ABDUCTOR POLLICIS BREVIS (a) - A muscle in the hand that functions as an abductor of the thumb.

ABDUCTOR POLLICIS (a) - A flat, thin muscle located just under the skin. It is a thenar muscle, and therefore contributes to the bulk of the palm’s thenar eminence.

PALMARIS LONGUS (a) - A small tendon between the flexor carpi radialis and the flexor carpi ulnaris, although it is not always present. The muscle is absent in about 14 percent of the population.

FLEXOR DIGITORUM SUPERFICIALS (a) - An extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints.

FLEXOR CAPRI ULNARIS (a) (b) - A muscle of the forearm that acts to flex and adduct the hand.

FLEXOR POLLICIS LONGUS (a) - A muscle in the forearm and hand that flexes the thumb.

ANCONIUS (b) - A small muscle on the posterior aspect of the elbow joint.

EXTENSOR CAPRI UNNARIS (b) - A skeletal muscle located on the ulnar side. It acts to extend and adduct at the wrist from anatomical position.

EXTENSOR DIGITI MINIMI (b) - A slender muscle placed on the ulnar side of the extensor digitorum communis, with which it is generally connected.

EXTENSOR CAPRI RADIALIS BREVIS (b) - An extensor, and an abductor of the hand at the wrist joint.

EXTENSOR DIGITORUM (b) - A muscle placed on the ulnar side of the extensor digitorum communis, with which it is generally connected.

ABDUCTOR POLLICIS LONGUS (b) - One of the extrinsic muscles of the hand. As the name implies, its function is to abduct the thumb at the wrist.

EXTENSOR POLLICIS BREVIS (b) - A muscle on the dorsal side of the forearm. It lies on the medial side of, and is closely connected with, the abductor pollicis longus.

There are total 12 pairs of cranial nerves that originate from our brain and brain stem. Each of them carries different functions related to different senses of body. Apart from sensory functions there are also some that work as motor nerves or mixed nerves. Here is a brief description of 12 cranial nerves.

 1.   Olfactory

  This is a type of sensory nerve that contributes in the sense of smell in human being. These basically provide the specific cells that are termed as olfactory epithelium. It carries the information from nasal epithelium to the olfactory center in brain.

 2.   Optic nerve

 This again is a type of sensory nerve that transforms information about vision to the brain. To be specific this supplies information to the retina in the form of ganglion cells.

  3.   Oculomoter nerve

  This is a form of motor nerve that supplies to different centers along midbrain. Its functions include superiorly uplifting eyelid, superiorly rotating eyeball, construction of pupil on the exposure to light and operating several eye muscles.

 4.   Trochlear

  This motor nerve also supplies to the midbrain and performs the function of handling the eye muscles and turning the eye.

 5.   Trigeminal

  This is a type of largest cranial nerve in all and performs many sensory functions related to nose, eyes, tongue and teeth. It basically is further divided in three branches that are ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular nerve. This is a type of mixed nerve that performs sensory and motor functions in brain.

 6.   Abducent

  This is again a type of motor nerve that supplies to the pons and perform function of turning eye laterally.

 7.   Facial

  This motor nerve is responsible for different types of facial expressions. This also performs some functions of sensory nerve by supplying information about touch on face and senses of tongue in mouth. It is basically present over brain stem.

 8.   Vestibulocochlear

  This motor nerve is basically functional in providing information related to balance of head and sense of sound or hearing. It carries vestibular as well as cochlear information to the brain and is placed near inner ear.

 9.   Glossopharyngeal

  This is a sensory nerve which carries sensory information from pharynx (initial portion of throat) and some portion of tongue and palate. The information sent is about temperature, pressure and other related facts.

 It also covers some portion of taste buds and salivary glands. The nerve also carries some motor functions such as helping in swallowing food.

 10.       Vagus

 This is also a type of mixed nerve that carries both motor and sensory functions. This basically deals with the area of pharynx, larynx, esophagus, trachea, bronchi, some portion of heart and palate. It works by constricting muscles of the above areas. In sensory part, it contributes in the tasting ability of the human being.

 11.       Spinal accessory nerve

  As the name intimates this motor nerve supplies information about spinal cord, trapezius and other surrounding muscles. It also provides muscle movement of the shoulders and surrounding neck.

 12.       Hypoglossal nerve

  This is a typical motor nerve that deals with the muscles of tongue.

 These are the 12 cranial nerves that carry many important functions in body.

Haven’t been here in a long while as school is getting the better of me, but look, I have some cool apps to share!

The first is Trello, an organising app that many of you already know about, but I just found it and I’m really excited :D Lets you organise all your classes and assignments in form of boards and cards. The app pretty much explains itself once you log in :)

The second is a new tab app for Chrome called Taco which lets you customise the background and title, BUT it also lets you connect it to Trello so you can see all the assignments of your choosing right on the new tab. It also lets you connect to tons of other productivity apps like Evernote, Asana, etc.
