  2. Head and neck anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_neck_anatomy

    The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into: the facial bones (14 bones: 2-zygomatic, 2-maxillary, 2-palatine, 2-nasal, 2-lacrimal, vomer, 2-inferior conchae, mandible).

  3. Ventral body cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_body_cavity

    Ventral body cavity. The ventral body cavity is a human body cavity that is in the anterior (front) aspect of the human body. [1] It is made up of the thoracic cavity, and the abdominopelvic cavity. The abdominopelvic cavity is further divided into the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity, but there is no physical barrier between the two.

    Visual system. The visual system includes the eyes, the connecting pathways through to the visual cortex and other parts of the brain (human system shown). The eye is the sensory organ of the visual system. The iris, pupil, and sclera are visible. Identifiers.

  5. Trigeminal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_nerve

    t. e. In neuroanatomy, the trigeminal nerve (lit. triplet nerve), also known as the fifth cranial nerve, cranial nerve V, or simply CN V, is a cranial nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing; it is the most complex of the cranial nerves. Its name (trigeminal, from Latin tri- 'three' and ...

    The patient will likely experience varying vision loss and eye pain. The condition tends to be episodic. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is commonly known as a "stroke of the optic nerve" and affects the optic nerve head (where the nerve exits the eyeball). There is usually a sudden loss of blood supply and nutrients to the optic nerve head.

  7. Ventral trigeminal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_trigeminal_tract

    The ventral trigeminal tract, ventral trigeminothalamic tract, anterior trigeminal tract, or anterior trigeminothalamic tract, is a tract composed of second-order neuronal axons. These afferent fibers carry sensory information about discriminative and crude touch, conscious proprioception, pain, and temperature from the head, face, and oral cavity.

  8. Optic tract - Wikipedia

    The left optic nerve and the optic tracts. In neuroanatomy, the optic tract (from Latin tractus opticus) is a part of the visual system in the brain. It is a continuation of the optic nerve that relays information from the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus. [1] It is ...

    FMA. 49037. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The medial rectus muscle is a muscle in the orbit near the eye. It is one of the extraocular muscles. It originates from the common tendinous ring, and inserts into the anteromedial surface of the eye. It is supplied by the inferior division of the oculomotor nerve (III).
