Anatomy

Medicine understands the temporal bone to be a symmetrically arranged and extremely detailed brain skull bone. The temporal bone is an important part of the skull base and serves to stabilize the skull and to accommodate sensitive structures

The biceps refers to the biceps brachii muscle. It is found in humans in the upper arm, but can also be found in quadruped mammals (such as dogs). In both cases he is responsible, among other things, for bending the arm or the front leg

The incisors of the human dentition are single-rooted teeth, which are located in the front part of the lower or upper jaw and are often colloquially called "shovel teeth".

The amniotic fluid is clear, watery body fluid that fills the amniotic cavity - the amniotic sac - and is formed by it. Both the amniotic sac and the amniotic fluid belong to the tissue of the embryo, not the tissue of the mother.

A trophoblast is a layer of cells. It forms the outer boundary of the blastocyst and is responsible for nourishing the embryo.

The sperm is the male reproductive cell with a single rather than a double set of DNA. It has a flagellum with which it can move independently to the egg cell.

Tight junctions are protein networks. They girdle the endothelial tissue of the intestine, bladder and brain and, in addition to stabilizing functions, also take on barrier functions. Disturbances of these barrier functions have a negative effect on the

The aryepiglottic fold is included in the human throat. It's a fold of the mucous membrane. It is made to vibrate when singing the larynx.

The dentate gyrus is part of the human brain. It is located in the hippocampus. The dentate gyrus is an important tool in the learning process.

The large polygonal bone belongs to the human hand bones. It is easy to feel when the back of the hand is pulled up. The polygonal leg has a trapezoidal appearance.

On the back, the thoracodorsal nerve innervates the large back muscle and the large round muscle. Both play an important role in arm movements. Lesions occur, for example, in the context of neuralgic shoulder amyotrophy and the arm plexus

The axillary nerve or axillary nerve is a signaling pathway that is responsible for controlling certain shoulder muscles and transports sensitive information from the lateral shoulder to the brain. Lesions that lead to functional impairment of the

The brachiocephalic trunk is a branch of the aorta on the right and supplies parts of the brain in addition to the neck and right arm. Like every artery, the trunk carries blood that is rich in oxygen, nutrients and messengers. Vascular diseases like

The anterior scalenus muscle, together with a total of three paired scalenus muscles, belong to the deep neck muscles. It arises from cervical vertebrae 3 to 6 (C3-C6) and runs diagonally to the 1st rib. The anterior scalene muscle performs three mechanical functions

The teres major muscle belongs to the skeletal muscles that humans can control at will and forms part of the rotator cuff. It extends from the lower edge of the shoulder blade to the upper arm and participates in the movements of the arm.

The teres minor muscle is a skeletal muscle that belongs to the shoulder muscles. It forms part of the rotator cuff that holds the upper arm bone (humerus) on the shoulder. Damage to the teres minor muscle or its nerve can impair stability

Uvea is the medical name for the middle skin of the eye, which is also known under the term tunica media bulbi. Its name is derived from the Latin term for grape, which the uvea is said to resemble during preparation.

The lower part of the skull is called the skull base. The brain rests on its inside. A total of twelve cranial nerves and blood vessels enter the neck and the facial skull through openings in the base of the skull.

The tunica media is a component of the walls of blood and lymph vessels that lies between two other layers. It contains, among other things, muscle cells with which the body regulates the width of the veins. Damage to the tunica media can lead to narrowing

The tunica intima is the three-layer inner layer of the lymph and blood vessels. In addition to optimal lymph and blood flow, this layer creates a barrier for the diffusion of various blood and lymph components. Cracks in the inner tunica intima
