The head and neck region obtain the majority of its blood supply via the carotid and also vertebral arteries. This activity primarily focuses on the in-depth orientation of the carotid arteries, including their anatomical course, branches and also the area of distribution. The carotid arteries are...
Venous drainage from the basal ganglia and other deep cerebral structures supplied by the striate arteries occurs via the internal cerebral and basal veins, to the great vein of Galen, and finally the straight dural sinus.[15] Physiologic Variants ...
dissecting room. This particular deck focuses on bones (skull), muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, ligaments and joints of the head and neck but also sense organs such as eyes, ears and tongue. It contains anatomy of larynx and thyroid gland. It also includes anatomy of the brain and ...
(e.g. haemangiomas). Vascular malformations are localized errors of angiogenic development, which should be distinguished from haemangiomas. They may involve any portion of the vascular system—arteries, veins, capillaries and lymphatics. Vascular malformations are therefore structural anomalies present ...
