Anatomy

The joint head is one of two joint surfaces. Bones are flexibly connected to the joint head and the associated socket. In the event of dislocation, the joint head slides out of the associated joint socket due to external forces.

The socket is one of two surfaces of a joint. It is used to accommodate the joint head and enables the range of motion of a joint. In the event of a dislocation, the joint head slides out of the associated socket.

The neural tube is an embryonic system in early pregnancy that is found not only in humans but in all vertebrates. In the further course of development, the central nervous system, the spinal cord and the brain emerge from this

The gill arch is a six-part, anatomical system in the early embryonic phase of humans. Different parts of the human K develop from the six relatively independent gill arches during later pregnancy

The hyoid bone is a very small and therefore mostly underestimated bone that is located below the tongue on the floor of the mouth. The medical names are Os hyoideum or Hyoid.

The so-called mesogastria denote the two mesenteries in the stomach, the development and formation of which takes place during the embryonic period. The mesogastrium represents the areas of the human abdomen, the organs and the abdominal wall. These are located

All parts of the body that the bile has to pass through during metabolism are called the bile duct. A distinction is made between bile ducts located in the liver (intrahepatic bile ducts) and bile ducts located outside the liver (extrahepatic bile ducts

The fact that humans, or at that time “Homo erectus”, could actually walk upright at some point, is solely thanks to their cerebral cortex. This has an adaptable integration center and thus a powerful storage capacity, in particular

The prosencephalon is part of the central nervous system and consists of the cerebrum (telencephalon) and the interbrain (diencephalon). In the three vesicle stage of early embryonic development, the prosencephalon represents one of the three primary cerebral cells

The olfactory tubercle is a small hump in the skull that houses the human brain. It is part of the olfactory tract. Smell perception comes into human consciousness through him.

The perichondrium is the skin of the cartilage made of tight connective tissue that surrounds, stabilizes and nourishes all hyaline and elastic cartilage with the exception of the articular cartilage. The perichondrium contains the blood supply to the cartilage tissue connected to it

When it comes to the shin, every child usually knows that it hurts badly when someone steps on it. This is because it is relatively unprotected for bone conditions directly under the skin. It is an important bone of the body without

The parathyroid gland takes on an essential function in the human body through its participation in the regulation of the calcium and phosphate balance. It is therefore all the more important to recognize symptoms indicating diseases in good time and

The gonads are the human gonads that take on both exocrine and endocrine functions and play a key role in reproduction. In addition to the germ cells, sex hormones that regulate reproduction are produced in the gonads

The lowest section of the spine below the sacrum is called the tailbone. It consists of 4 to 5 small vertebrae, the original joints of which have mostly grown together to form a complete bone structure. The tailbone serves mainly

The human face is able to illustrate emotional expressions through facial expressions, which is made possible with the multitude of muscles in the face. Due to the versatile properties and the many sensitive parts that the

Bile acids are the body's own steroids from the liver, which have an emulsifying effect on lipids in fat digestion. Bile acids are largely reabsorbed into the liver in the intestine. If this reabsorption, for example, by Entz

Nociceptors are pain sensors that report actual or threatened tissue damage as a pain stimulus to the brain for further processing. Three groups of nociceptors are able to distinguish between mechanical, thermal and chemical overloads

The Ruffini corpuscles are class SA II mechanoreceptors found in the dermis, the skin of the tooth root, and the joint capsules. The receptors register intero- and exteroceptive pressure or stretching and conduct these stimuli via the spinal cord

The Meissner corpuscles are RA mechanoreceptors that sense changes in pressure and belong to the differential receptors. Meissner corpuscles only report pressure changes and adapt to constant pressure stimuli. Misperceptions
