The proper knowledge of the course and ramification of the blood vessels of the lower limbs is very important for surgeons and interventional radiologist. This is because the lower limb arteries are commonly involve with peripheral occlusive arterial diseases and the femoral artery at the femoral triangle is widely used for certain clinical procedures like arterial catheterization. Although there are several studies on the branching pattern of the femoral artery in the femoral triangle the Sri Lankan studies are spars.

Introduction: Mental foramen (MF) is a small foramen situated in antero lateral aspect of the body of the mandible. It transmits mental nerve, artery and vein. Studying the position and its morphological variations of MF helps to localise the mental nerve which is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. It will help to prevent complications during invasive procedures at the mental region. The most common position of the MF is in-line with the longitudinal axis of the 2 nd pre-molar tooth followed by a location between the 1 st and the second pre-molar tooth. It is usually single and oval in shape.

The present study provides new evidence pertaining to the origin of CBM. Further, it was revealed that the predicted distance P of any upper extremity can be calculated by dividing the arm length by 5. Precise anatomical location of MCN in relation to CBM using unequivocal and well-defined anatomical landmarks will be imperative in modern surgical procedures.

Introduction: Height, like other phenotypic traits, is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is sexually dimorphic and statistically more or less normally distributed. Estimation of stature from measurements of various long bones of the extremities has been attempted by many scientists with varying degree of accuracy. All such calculations depend on the fact that limbs exhibit consistent ratios relative to the total height of a person. These ratios are linked to age, sex and race.

The cytobrush, unlike the spatula, is a useful screening instrument for early diagnosis of suspicious oral lesions and could therefore contribute to improved oral cancer prognosis.
