Netter Anatomy Plate 145: Back

Okay been taking an extended break before school started, but its the first week, and I'm Back. Which coincidentally, is what the first section for anatomy is.

So here goes, I am attempting the Netter's plates with the miniature "palace" being the back itself.

...

Okay, so I took 20 minutes for 24 items - thats 50 seconds per item.

I've decided to record my pictures just to keep track -

Trapezius muscle - Arnold Schwarzenegger doing trapeze

Deltoid muscle - a big triangle

Infraspinatus muscle - an infrared spine (a spine glowing red intermittently)

long head of triceps brachii muscle - A guy with a long head and GIGANTIC flabby triceps who cant press his break in a car

lateral head of triceps brachii muscle - a guy with a really flat and wide head who is pushing the break for his friend - with his head

tendon of triceps brachii muscle - the tension in a brake cord when the brake pedal is pressed

teres major muscle - Major Bison tearing through the skin, shouting "I'll tear you a new one!"

Latissimus dorsi muscle - A roman guy named Latissimus (lame, I know) who is really dork (glasses and braces) rising up through the ranks

Iliac crest - a guy who is ill because he has a giant crest sticking out of his chest

thoracolumbar fascia - a column of Thors fastened together

posterior superior iliac spine - my old boss (post-superior) ill on his death bed with a spinal problem, as I contemplate helping him (I didn't like him much...)

Intergluteal (natal) cleft - A weird guy with a moustache saying, "Enter the gluteus and turn left"...

Gluteal fold - old gluteus - a really old ass

Gluteus maximus - self explanatory

Greater trochanter of femus - two feminist protesters arguing over who is the greater chanter. One is proclaiming she is a pro-chanter, screaming, "Feminism!"

Sacrum - Sacred, Sacrifice - Jesus on the cross

Gluteus medius muscle - A meaty steak on a woman's naked ass... needless to say, gluteus medius is now my favorite...

Spinous process of T12 vertebra - A spiny processing machine, processing TLC as they sing, "Jason Waterfalls"

Medial border of scapula - I'm cutting into a meaty steak ranchero (border style) with a scalpel

Spine of scapula - a spine that has a scalpel blade attached

Spinous Process of C7 vertebra - a spiny processing machine that is going through a CT scan.

Ligamentum nuchae - the man's long ligaments are giving himself a nuggie

External occipital protuberance - Two oxen are upset and crying because they broke up with each other. They are sitting on the edge of long tubes protruding from this bump


I realize that I have slowed dramatically (50 seconds per item!), however, I am only counting the amount of time it takes to get through a quiz perfectly. I think that now school has started, I am going to start on a whole new scale

Memrise

I've been taking a bit of an extended break before school starts. I've been checking out memrise, which isn't bad for some of the other subjects in med school. However, it is pretty useless for anatomy as far as I can see. I'll get back to plates in a few weeks.
