 Quick Draw Anatomy for Anaesthetists 

          Drawing ‘the tail’:

• Draw 6 lines horizontally through the basilar artery; the top and bottom ones should be longer than the middle ones. The top one is the superior cerebellar artery (often implicated in trigeminal neuralgia), and the bottom one is the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. The small ones represent the pontine arteries.
• Draw a downward U shape from the base of the basilar artery. These represent the vertebral arteries.

• ---

  Draw the head (facing right), neck, clavicles, sternum, sternocleidomastoid and trachea.
• With blue dotted lines to represent deep structures, draw the right and left internal jugular veins (IJV) draining into the brachiocephalic veins. These then meet on the right side of the body to form the superior vena cava (SVC).
• Between the 2 IJVs draw a line in front of the trachea to represent the inferior thyroid vein.
