In a hiatus hernia the gap in the diaphragm that the oesophagus passes through also allows the stomach (and maybe more) to pass from the abdomen into the thorax. Let's look at the anatomy here, including the lower oesophageal sphincter, the phrenoesophageal membrane, have a think about the pressure differences in the thorax and abdomen, the types of hiatus hernia and possible effects.

Back to the backside with a look at the three gluteal muscles and what they're there for. And what is Trendelenburg's sign?

It's time to look at the anatomy of the stomach. What other structures and organs are nearby, what's its blood supply, where does the venous blood drain to, what does it do? Can you live without your stomach? What happens in stomach stapling or gastric bypass surgery?

What do you need to know about the larynx? Let's have a look at the cartilages, the muscles that move the cartilages, how they move, the vocal folds and mucosal bits, and the innervation of these structures.

Continuing our back anatomy theme, let's dive down through the layers of muscles of the back to the erector spinae group.

What is a femoral hernia, and what's the anatomy that allows this to happen?This is not medical advice, this is the anatomy of a femoral hernia. This is academic information, not clinical.

Let's look at the inguinal canal and talk about how it is formed, but we shouldn't go into crazy detail listing all the structures that contribute to different bits of it. Instead, let's focus on the the key principles involved to make sure we all understand how the inguinal canal is formed (so first we'll look at the muscle layers of the abdominal walls), what runs through it, and why it is important and interesting.

Let's have a look at the musculoskeletal anatomy of the hip region and joint in the next few videos. We'll start with the movements and the big muscles of the hip.

Let's have a look at the organs and other major structures inside the thorax. We can look to see how they are arranged with one another, their shapes and parts, and how they interlink. We can also see how the thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity and the neck.

I've talked about various aspects of the heart, but never the structure of the heart itself. Let's fix that. Chambers, valves, great vessels, specialised nerves, and stuff like that.

We're going to have a look at the major nerves of the lower limb. The ones I can find on these models, anyway. Let's link compartments of the thigh and leg to the nerves that innervate the muscle groups here.

How can you tell which vertebra is which? How can you tell which region of the vertebral column a vertebra belongs to?

We've been rummaging around in the abdomen so let's have a look at the anatomy of the liver - lobes, ligaments, cells, histology, blood vessels, a little about the functions of the liver, embryology, a brief nod towards portosystemic anastomoses, and no doubt a bunch of other stuff.

Let's take a look at some anatomy of the lungs. Lobes, fissures, surfaces, their shapes, and stuff like that. How does the heart connect to the lungs?

I'm going to look at the major nerves of the upper limb and follow them down the arm and forearm to the hand. I'm not going to talk about the brachial plexus or the shoulder region much, but instead let's get a visual feel for the radial, ulnar, musculocutaneous and median nerves.

Back to the upper limb and we're looking at the muscles that move the bones of the elbow joint. We're mostly interested in flexion & extension of the forearm at the elbow but let's have a look at all the muscles that cross the elbow joint and see where they run and what they do.

The lymph nodes of the body are very important to us and can be very important clinically. There are quite a few lymph nodes in the neck, and they're described as anatomical groups. Let's look at these and the direction lymph flows down the neck.

As a number of people have noticed, I make a verbal slip and say "flexor" instead of "extensor" at one point when talking about extensor carpi radialis. Watch out! I can't add a note to the video as YouTube removed this function. Well done to those paying attention and using their brains.
