Nasal cavity
Sniff, snot, snort - the nasal cavity has it all! From the bony housing of the nasal cavity, to the mucous-producing factories of the epithelium and glands, to sinuses and where that snot drains, this post covers all things nasal cavity!
Vertebral column
The vertebral column supports the head and body, serves as an attachment point for many muscles, and protects the delicate spinal cord. Here we'll cover all the segments, processes, foramina, and articulations of the vertebral column itself!
Sacral plexus
The sacral plexus provides motor and sensory innervation to the gluteal region, many pelvic structures, and the posterior thigh, leg, and foot. It contains quite a few nerves that arise from the L4 and L5, and S1 to S4 vertebral levels.
Extraocular muscles
Extraocular muscles are ones that make the eyeball itself move - and there is a lot going on to make that happen! In this post we'll review the muscles, their attachments, innervations, actions, and testing procedures.
Cranial cavity
The cranial cavity and contents includes the bony aspects of the cranium (inside and out), the many layers of meninges, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), dural venous sinuses, and blood supply to and from the brain and cranial cavity.
Superficial face and parotid region
The human face contributes greatly to our identity and capacity for non-verbal communication. The muscles that express our internal state of being are called muscles of facial expression. They share innervation (facial n.), a large portion of blood supply (facial a.). Sensation on the face is the job of the trigeminal n. This, coupled with the presence of a large salivary gland, the parotid, make the face a useful diagnostic tool for any clinician.
Favorite anatomy resources
The breadth and variety of resources for learning anatomy is both amazing and a bit daunting. Check out my favorites on this post!
