Anatomy

The temples are sensitive anatomical regions on the side of the head. Important nerve tracts and blood vessels run here. Discomfort and abnormal sensations, especially in connection with headache and tension in the local area

The vestibulocochlear nerve is a sensory nerve cord made up of the cochlear nerve, the auditory nerve and the vestibular nerve, the equilibrium nerve. The nerve cord is also known as the 8th cranial nerve. The afferents

The organ of equilibrium, also known as the vestibular apparatus, is located in pairs in the right and left inner ear. The three semicircular canals, each perpendicular to one another, report rotational accelerations, and the otolith organs (sacculus and utriculus) respond

The brachial vein is an upper arm vein. It is located between the elbow and the armpit. Your job is to direct the blood back to the heart.

The minor petrosus nerve is part of the IX. Cranial nerves. It's in the back of the brain. Its job is to supply the parotid gland.

The nervus petrosus profundus is a sympathetic nerve of the head region. Its main tasks include the inhibitory influences on saliva and tear production. Injuries and failures of the deep petrosal nerve can be among other symptoms

The foramen lacerum is an opening in the human skull. It is used as a passage for nerve fibers. In this way, the supply of the outer and inner areas of the skull can be guaranteed.

The respiratory tract is an umbrella term for various organs. These are responsible for human breathing. The work processes represent a complex interaction of the individual elements. Diseases can affect the functions

The mesentery is a "mesentery" that serves as a hanging strap for the intestine. In a broader sense, all mesenteries of the organs lying within the peritoneum are called mesenteries.

The nasal cavity, also known as cavitas nasi, is paired and part of the airway. It thus plays an important role in breathing and also houses the olfactory mucosa, which is relevant for the olfactory process.

The celiac trunk is an unpaired arterial trunk that arises forward to the abdomen (ventral) from the abdominal part of the aorta above the paired renal arteries.

The sigmoid sinus is a blood stream in the brain. It is S-shaped and transports venous blood. It ensures the blood supply to the brain.

The inferior petrosal sinus is located in the human skull. It is a blood stream that supplies the brain. Venous blood is transported in it.

The jugular foramen lies at the base of the skull and embodies the point of passage of the ninth to eleventh cranial nerves as well as the posterior meningeal artery, the sigmoid sinus and the inferior petrosal sinus. Problems in the jugular foramen can occur

The digastric muscle as part of the head, especially the upper tongue muscles, is responsible for the mobility of the mouth and jaw joint. In addition, it influences swallowing, speaking as well as yawning and voice shaping. Is

The musculus constrictor pharyngis medius is a throat muscle and consists of two parts. It is responsible for constricting the pharynx and thereby pushing food or fluid to the gullet (esophagus). Functional restrictions of the

The inferior constrictor pharyngis muscle is the lower throat constrictor and contributes to speaking and swallowing. Both areas of activity can be disturbed if the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle fails, becomes cramped or otherwise impaired

The levator veli palatini muscle has an important function in the swallowing process. It is part of the pharyngeal muscles. It prevents food or liquids from flowing into the nasal cavity.

The superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle is a skeletal muscle of the throat and consists of four parts. It blocks the access to the nose when swallowing. Soft palate paralysis and certain neurological diseases can interfere with the closure

The thyrohyoid muscle belongs to the lower hyoid muscles (infrahyoid muscles) and is innervated by the ansa cervicalis. It is active when swallowing and closes the larynx so that no food or liquid gets into the airways
