Common Interosseous Artery (CIA) is the largest branch of Ulnar Artery (UA) and arises in the cubital fossa. The terminal branches of BA at elbow are clinically important since they are responsible for the arterial supply to the forearm and hand. These arteries may get damaged during fractures of the elbow. Aim: To know the variations in the terminal branches of the BA at elbow. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional cadaveric study was done on 40 upper limbs from embalmed adult human cadavers in the Department of Anatomy, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally, Telangana, India, from August 2017 to August 2019. Dissection of BA in arm and cubital fossa was carried out according to Cunningham’s manual of practical anatom...

It is so named because of its worm like appearance. Most common surgical cause of abdominal pain is appendicitis; its diagnosis is affected by anatomical variations of the vermiform appendix, because this is the most variable abdominal organ in terms of position and organ relations. Aim of the study was to examine anatomical features and different positions of the vermiform appendix in human cadavers. Material and methods. This study was carried on 45 human cadavers irrespective of sex and age from the Department of Anatomy at Andhra Pradesh over a period of 12 months. Results. Mean length of appendix was found to be 3.98 ± 1.27 cm. Mean outer girth was 2.17 ± 0.26 cm. Mean distance of vermiform appendix from ileocaecal junction was found to be 2.11 ± 0.43 cm. Commonest position was retrocaecal (44 %), followed by pelvic (21 %), postileal (9 %), subcaecal (13 %) and midinguinal (10 %). Conclusions. Variations in position of vermiform appendix will help the surgeons to make a diagnosis of appendicitis and aware about appendiceal rupture.

Objectives: To know the variations in the course of brachial artery. Methods: Dissection was done on 40 upper limbs from embalmed adult human cadavers in the Department of Anatomy, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally. Dissection of Brachial artery was carried out according to Cunningham’s manual of practical anatomy. Results: In all 40 specimens (100%), the brachial artery begins at the inferior border of the teres major muscle as the continuation of the axillary artery. In 37 specimens (92.5%), single brachial artery (BA) was present in the arm. It runs inferiorly on the medial side of the biceps brachii muscle to the cubital fossa. It divi...

Its frequent variations in its origin and course has drawn attention of Anatomists, pelvic surgeons and Interventional Radiologists. The present study was conducted on Fifty (Formalin fixed) hemi sections of human cadaveric pelvic specimens, which were collected from the cadavers allotted to undergraduate students at department of anatomy, Raja Muthiah medical college, Chidambaram Tamilnadu, during 2015-2017. The pelvis was carefully dissected to study the origin, relations, within the pelvis. The findings were observed and recorded. Origin of obdurator artery was from the Anterior trunk of Internal iliac in 64% of specimen and was variable in 36%of specimen. The variations in obturator artery may lead to surgical complications during pelvic surgeries.
