Sheet1-Table 1 Flashcards
submandibular triangel
boarders are mandible, posterior digastric and anterior digastric; contains submandibular gland, submandibular nodes, facial a and hypoglossal nerve
submental triangle
boarders are anterior digastric, hyoid, and contralateral anterior digastric, contains nodes
carotid triangle
boarders are sternocleidomastoid, superior belly of omohyiod, and posterior digastric muscle, contains carotid sheath, hypoglossal n, external carotid branches and nodes
occipital triangle
boarders are trapezius, sternocliedomastiod, and inferior belly of omohyiod, contains accessory nerve, brachial plexus trunks and nodes
subclavian triangle
boarders are inferior belly of omohyiod, sternocliedomastiod, and clavicle, contains subclavian a and nodes’
suboccipital triangle
boarders are rectus capitis, posterior major, superior oblique, inferior oblique, greater occipital nerve from dorsal ramus C2 passes inferior and posterior (superficial) to inferior oblique, rectus capitis posterior minor passes medial to traingle
meninges layers
from superficial to deep- outer layer of dura mater (continuous with periosteum), inner layer of dura, arachnoid mater, subarachnoid space (contains cerebral spinal fluid), and pia mater (extend down spinal cord)
arachnoid villi
small protrusions of the arachnoid (the thin second layer covering the brain) through the dura mater (the thick outer layer). They protrude into the venous sinuses of the brain, and allow cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to exit the sub-arachnoid space and enter the blood stream
falx cerebri
a strong, arched fold of dura mater that descends vertically in the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres.
falx cerebelli
a small sickle shaped fold of dura mater, projecting forwards into the posterior cerebellar notch as well as projecting into the vallecula of the cerebellum between the two cerebellar hemispheres.
tentorium cerebeli
an extension of the dura mater that separates the cerebellum from the inferior portion of the occipital lobes
lobes of the cerebrum
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
central sulcus
a fold in the cerebral cortex, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex
lateral fissure
divides both the frontal lobe and parietal lobe above from the temporal lobe below
diencephalon
within cerebrum, inferior to telencephalon, optic nerve, tract, and chiasm enter it
Infundibulum
alternative name for the pituitary stalk, the connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
mammillary bodies
a pair of small round bodies, located on the undersurface of the brain, that, as part of the diencephalon form part of the limbic system
midbrain
where oculomtor and trochlear nerve leave
cerebral peduncles
also known as the cerebral crus, are the part of the midbrain that link the remainder of the brainstem to the cerebrum.
pons
where the trigeminal, abducens, facial, and vestibulocochlear nerves originate
medulla
where the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and hypoglossal nerves originate
pyramids
two ridge-like structures that travel along the ventral portion of the length of the medulla oblongata, medial of olive
olives
a pair of prominent oval structures in the medulla oblongata, the lower portion of the brainstem, located on the anterior surface of the medulla lateral to the pyramid
atrium of nasal cavity
The anterior expanded portion of the middle meatus of the nose, just above the vestibule.
vestibule of nasal cavity
the most anterior part of the nasal cavity. It is enclosed by the cartilages of nose and lined by the same epithelium of the skin
inferior meatus
contains opening of the nasolacrimal duct
middle meatus
contains openings of the ethmoidal air cells, nasofrontal duct (frontal sinus), and maxillary sinus
hiatus semilunaris
a crescent-shaped groove in the middle meatus of the nasal cavity just inferior to the ethmoidal bulla. It is the location of the openings for the frontal sinus, maxillary sinus, and anterior ethmoidal sinus
superior meatus
contains opening for the posterior ethmoidal air cells
sphenoethmoidal recess
superior to the superior chonchae, contains opening of the sphenoid sinus
nasal septum
composed of spetal cartilage, crest of maxillary, crest of palatine (inferior), volmer (middle), perpindicular plate of ethmoid (superior)
nasal conchae
shell- shaped, superior, middle, ( ethmoid bone) and inferior (is an independent bone)
ethmoidal bulla
a swelling formed on the lateral wall of the middle meatus, is produced by the middle ethmoidal air cells, these air sinuses communicate with the meatus just superiorly to the bulla
Frontal sinus
drains into middle meatus via frontonasal duct
Anterior ethmoidal air cells
drain into middle meatus via frontonasal duct
Middle ethmoidal air cells
drain into middle meatus via hiatus semilunaris
Posterior ethmoidal air cells
drain into superior meatus
Maxillary sinus
drains into middle meatus
cornea
the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber
iris
a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina
pupil
a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to enter the retina
sclera
also known as the white of the eye, is the opaque, fibrous, protective, outer layer of the eye containing collagen and elastic fiber, continuous with dural sheet of the optic nerve
conjunctiva
lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera (white part of the eye)
caruncle
the small, pink, globular nodule at the inner corner (the medial angle) of the eye
