Prepare for the dissection lab and operating room with this proven atlas!

Anatomy

A Photographic Atlas 8th Edition Johannes W. Rohen, MD Chihiro Yokochi, PhD Elke Lütjen-Drecoll, MD 978-1-4511-9318-3

Featuring outstanding full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections, Anatomy: A Photographic Atlas depicts anatomic structures more realistically than traditional atlases. Chapters are organized by region in the order of a typical dissection; each chapter presents topographical anatomical structures in a systemic manner. • Authentic photographic reproduction, as seen in the dissection lab and on the operating table, helps you develop an understanding of the anatomy of the human body. • Functional connections between single organs, the surrounding tissue, and organ systems are clarified to prepare you for lab and practical exams. • Clinical cases and more than 1,200 images including modern MRIs as well as CTs and endoscopic techniques. • Dissections illustrate the topographical anatomy in layers “from the outside in.”

Acknowledgments We wish to thank Ms. Crystal Taylor and Mr. Greg Nicholl at Wolters Kluwer for inviting us to compose these cards and assisting us with the process. Ms. Haley Moon and Ms. Lowene Stipp are thanked for their assistance with some of the logistical issues involved in assembling these cards. And we are grateful to our students for teaching us how to best use these cards to help them learn anatomy.

Preface All of the photographs in this flash card set were derived from the 8th edition of Anatomy: A Photographic Atlas by Johannes W. Rohen, Chihiro Yokochi, and Elke Lütjen-Drecoll (2016). We chose a subset of the large number of images in that atlas to use in this flash card set. This subset primarily includes images that seemed to us to be of most relevance to students preparing for a practical exam in gross anatomy and neuroanatomy. Furthermore, we greatly reduced the number of structures labeled in the flash cards compared to those in the atlas (although increased in this edition compared to the number of structures labeled in the first edition of the cards). Also in this edition, we added material that will be useful to the students in their preparation for the “written” component of their gross anatomy exams. The back of each card, in addition to having the answers to the structures labeled with numbers on the front, includes either an anatomical question involving one or more of the labeled structures or a related clinical anatomy “pearl” that is likely to be tested on their exam. We recognize that the images on these cards lack the three-dimensional definition that cadavers offer; however, the dissections used for these photographs are so good that this liability is not as significant as it might be with lesser quality images.

Performing well on a practical exam is a skill that some students find difficult to master, and we hope that students find these cards useful for acquiring this skill. Joel A. Vilensky, PhD Leslie A. Hoffman, PhD

II. QUESTION In your patient with breast cancer, you are concerned about possible spread of cancer cells (metastasis) via the lymphatic system. Most of the lymph from the breast first travels to which of the following groups of lymph nodes? Parasternal nodes Pectoral (anterior) group of axillary nodes Subscapular group of axillary nodes Phrenic nodes Tracheobronchial nodes

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Movements of the thoracic wall during inspiration increase the volume of the thoracic cavity, resulting in a pressure gradient that draws air into the lungs. The volume of the thoracic cavity increases in three dimensions: vertically, as a result of contraction of the diaphragm; transversely, as a result of contraction of intercostal muscles (bucket-handle movement); and anteroposteriorly, as a result of elevation of the anterior ends of the ribs and the sternum (pump-handle movement).

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The branches of the aortic arch are variable. In one variant, the right subclavian artery, which normally branches from the brachiocephalic trunk, branches from the descending part of the arch and passes posterior to the esophagus, potentially compressing it and causing difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The cardiac plexuses supply autonomic innervation to the heart via cardiac nerves from the vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves (parasympathetic) and the cervical and upper thoracic sympathetic ganglia (sympathetic). The sympathetic fibers cause an increase in heart rate and force of contraction, whereas the parasympathetic fibers act to slow heart rate.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The rough pectinate muscles of the atria are in the auricles. The remainder of the atria has smooth walls. The sinoatrial (SA) node is located in the crista terminalis, which separates the smooth and rough walls. This node is the pacemaker of the heart and receives blood supply usually via an atrial branch of the right coronary artery.

The right coronary artery is dominant in approximately 70% of the population, whereas the left coronary artery is dominant in about 10% of the population. Approximately 20% of hearts exhibit codominance, meaning that both the right coronary artery and the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery supply the posterior interventricular artery.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Coarctation is a narrowing of the aorta, typically occurring at the junction of the aortic arch and the descending aorta. This constriction forces the heart to pump harder than normal in order to propel blood through the stenotic part of the aorta. This results in high blood pressure in the head, neck, and upper limbs and low blood pressure in the lower limbs. Some consequences of coarctation are premature heart disease, cerebral aneurysm, organ failure, arterial rupture, and death.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The greater, lesser, and least splanchnic nerves arise from the thoracic sympathetic trunk and enter the abdomen to supply all of the abdominal viscera with sympathetic innervation. Parasympathetic innervation to the foregut and midgut is supplied via the vagus nerve, and the hindgut receives parasympathetic innervation from the pelvic splanchnic nerves. Occasionally, ganglion cells regulating peristalsis do not migrate from the neural crest to the distal colon. This creates a functional blockage of the colon. This congenital condition is called aganglionic megacolon (Hirschsprung’s disease).

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The branching pattern of the nerves of the lumbar plexus is variable, sometimes making absolute identification of nerves on the posterior abdominal wall confusing. It is best to first find the subcostal nerve directly below the 12th rib and identify the nerves in order from there. Another problem is that the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves are both part of the ventral ramus of the L1 spinal nerve, and exactly where they split is variable.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a localized enlargement of the aorta due to weakness in the wall of the aorta. In a nonobese person, the examiner can feel the pulsations of the dilated vessel on deep palpation of the midabdomen. Rupture of such an aneurysm is associated with severe abdominal pain and likely death because of blood loss.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY During forced respiration, the quadratus lumborum muscle can assist with inspiration. By preventing the 12th rib from elevating, it allows the diaphragm, which also attaches to the 12th rib, to exert greater downward force on the abdomen, thereby increasing expansion of the thoracic cavity.

The aorta passes posterior to the median arcuate ligament, and the celiac trunk arises slightly inferior to that. Median arcuate ligament syndrome involves compression of the celiac trunk by that ligament. The ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves pass posterior to the medial arcuate ligament. The quadratus lumborum muscle and subcostal nerve pass posterior to the lateral arcuate ligament.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The erectile tissue of the penis is composed of the corpus spongiosum and the paired corpora cavernosa. Within the body of the penis, the corpus spongiosum is limited to the ventral aspect and surrounds the penile urethra. But at the head of the penis, the corpus spongiosum expands to form the cone-shaped glans (head) of the penis. At the neck of the glans, the prepuce (foreskin; composed of a double layer of skin) variably covers the glans, and it is this skin that is removed when males are circumcised.

As the penis becomes engorged with blood, the deep dorsal vein of the penis is compressed, preventing outflow of blood from the erectile tissues.

The levator ani can be subdivided into the puborectalis, the pubococcygeus, and the iliococcygeus. The puborectalis forms a sling around the anorectal junction and is important for maintaining fecal continence. It relaxes to allow defecation.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The body of the clitoris is very variable in size, which is an important fact that is not typically mentioned in anatomy texts. Similar to the penis, it is an erectile organ, but whereas the penis is composed of both corpus spongiosum and cavernosum tissue, the clitoris is only composed of corpus cavernosum. The bulb of the vestibule contains the corpus spongiosum tissue in females.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The spinalis is the most medial component of the erector spinae group of back muscles. It is the least developed of the three, usually appearing only in the thoracic region. The muscle segments arise and insert on spinous processes. Acting unilaterally, the muscle will cause some lateral bending of the spine, whereas acting bilaterally, it will act with the iliocostalis and longissimus to extend the spine.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The hamstring muscles, which include the long head of biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus, all originate from the ischial tuberosity. A hamstring injury often occurs at this attachment and can be either a strain (“pulled” muscle) or a tear. The muscle may also tear away some of the bony tuberosity, producing an avulsion fracture.

Femoral neck Lesser trochanter Pectineal line Adductor tubercle Greater trochanter Intertrochanteric crest Linea aspera Lateral epicondyle Intercondylar fossa

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY In patients with osteoporosis, commonly elderly women, the femoral neck is very vulnerable to fracture. This can cause the patient to fall or can occur as a result of a fall. Because the arterial supply to the head of the femur runs along the neck, the arterial vessels are often ruptured during such a fracture. Avascular neurosis of the femoral head may result. This can be treated by replacing the femoral head with a prosthesis (artificial hip), a procedure that was first performed in the United States at the Mayo Clinic in 1969.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Meralgia paresthetica is a condition associated with pain or numbness in the lateral thigh caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh) as it passes through the inguinal ligament. Compression of the nerve can be due to weight gain, pregnancy, swelling, injury, and tight-fitting clothing. Addressing the cause of the compression usually alleviates the condition, although in some cases, surgery is required to decompress the nerve.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder that occurs when the piriformis muscle compresses the sciatic nerve. Piriformis syndrome usually begins with pain, tingling, or numbness within the area of the buttocks. Pain can be severe and radiate along the sciatic nerve (sciatica). The compression of the nerve often occurs after long periods of sitting as in a prolonged car trip. Pain may also be associated with climbing stairs or running.

Following her injury, she walks with a limp because her right hip drops when her weight is on her left foot (during left stance phase). To compensate, she leans to the left when she takes a step with her right foot; this is known as Trendelenburg gait. The ED physician assumes there is damage to the nerve that innervates the gluteus medius and minimus muscles. Which nerve was lesioned? Left inferior gluteal nerve Right inferior gluteal nerve Left superior gluteal nerve Right superior gluteal nerve Left obturator nerve

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The common fibular (peroneal) nerve is the most commonly injured nerve in the body. As it winds around the neck of the fibula, it is subcutaneous and vulnerable to injury. Following a severe compression of the common fibular nerve, the patient exhibits a foot drop because all of the dorsiflexors of the foot are paralyzed. As the patient walks, the foot hits the ground sharply with a definite sounding “clop.” The patient must also lift the foot higher during the swing phase of walking to prevent the toes from dragging on the ground. This distinctive walking pattern is known as steppage gait.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged, subcutaneous veins that result from an insufficiency in the valves of these veins. The great saphenous vein is very often affected by this condition, which is disfiguring and sometimes painful. Surprisingly, removing or closing the great saphenous vein using a laser ablation process causes no ill effects and typically alleviates the condition as the blood finds other routes to return to the heart.

The femoral artery supplies the muscles of the anterior thigh.

Medial condyle of femur Posterior cruciate ligament Lateral condyle of femur Lateral (fibular) collateral ligament Head of fibula

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The medial and lateral collateral ligaments are taut when the knee is extended, thus providing stability to the knee joint during standing. The lateral (fibular) collateral ligament is thinner and more rounded than the medial collateral ligament and extends from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Unlike the medial collateral ligament, it is not attached to the joint capsule or the ipsilateral meniscus. Because of this, the lateral collateral ligament is less susceptible to injury than the medial collateral ligament.

The plantaris tendon may be harvested for tendon grafts in other areas of the body and is susceptible to injury during activities that involve forced dorsiflexion of the ankle with the knee extended. Plantaris tendon rupture is sometimes referred to as tennis leg.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The gastrocnemius arises from the femoral condyles so that although it is primarily a plantarflexor of the ankle, it can also flex the knee. The soleus arises from both the fibula and tibia and thus is only an ankle plantarflexor. Both are innervated by the tibial nerve and both insert onto the calcaneus via the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon. The soleus can be functionally isolated for physical examination by having the patient fully flex the knee.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Whereas the small saphenous vein arises from the dorsal venous arch of the foot and passes posterior to the lateral malleolus, the great saphenous vein arises from the medial side of the arch and passes anterior to the medial malleolus. Because it can be always be found there, the large saphenous vein at this location is used for IV injections when more commonly used veins such as the median cubital vein are not available.

Medial malleolus Sustentaculum tali Position of ankle joint Lateral malleolus Position of subtalar joint

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The subtalar joint is a complex joint between the calcaneus and the talus. It is also known as the talocalcaneal joint. It is actually three separate articulations between the talus and calcaneus. The movements that occur at this joint are inversion and eversion and pronation and supination. When you twist your upper body while standing and look over your shoulder, the subtalar joints of your feet move with the rest of your body. If you look over your left shoulder, the left foot supinates whereas the right pronates. Instability at the subtalar joint can occur after a severe ankle injury.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Plantar fasciitis is a common painful condition of the heel and plantar surface of the foot. It is characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, or structural degeneration of the plantar aponeurosis, which originates on the medial tubercle of the calcaneus and extends to the toes. The classic presentation of plantar fasciitis is sharp medial heel pain that is made worse by bearing weight on the heel. It is typically especially painful when getting out of bed and during walking after long periods of rest. Although for most people this is a temporary condition that can be treated with rest and stretching exercises, in some patients, it becomes chronic and can persist for years.

They act primarily to flex the metatarsophalangeal joints of the associated digits. The first lumbrical is innervated by the medial plantar nerve, whereas the other three are innervated by the lateral plantar nerve. Injury to the lateral plantar nerve would affect digits 2 through 5 but not the hallux.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Movements of the scapula are essential for free movement of the upper limb. In order to fully abduct the arm overhead, the glenoid fossa of the scapula must be rotated superiorly (upward rotation). When the glenoid fossa rotates inferiorly, this is downward rotation. The entire scapula can also move up and down; this is known as scapular elevation and depression.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The suprascapular artery is a branch of the thyrocervical trunk of the subclavian artery. It passes superior to the suprascapular ligament at the suprascapular notch to supply the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles. The suprascapular nerve arises from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus and passes inferior to the ligament to innervate the same muscles. The suprascapular nerve is subject to impingement at the notch, whereas the artery would not be compressed because it passes over the ligament.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The pectoralis minor is normally thought of as acting from the ribs to depress and protract the scapula. However, it is also an effective accessory respiratory muscle in patients with dyspnea. In this case, the muscle acts from its attachment at the coracoid process to raise the ribs during inspiration. In order for this to be effective, the patient has to have the scapula braced so that the patient is typically seated with hands or elbows on a support such a table.

The signs and symptoms of TOS are variable, with the patient often showing neurogenic signs such as numbness, pain, and paresthesia in the upper limb. The fingers may also feel cold due to the arterial compression and subsequent vascular compromise.

Radial nerve Triceps brachii muscle Cephalic vein Biceps brachii muscle Brachial artery Shaft of humerus

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The triceps brachii is innervated by the radial nerve. Although the radial nerve travels from the axilla to the cubital fossa, a fracture of the humerus may not affect the action of the triceps because the branches to this muscle arise from the most proximal aspect of the nerve. At the cubital fossa, the radial nerve divides into superficial and deep branches. The superficial branch is a purely sensory nerve, whereas the deep branch is primarily motor to the extensor muscles of the wrist and hand.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY There is a rich anastomosis of vessels around the elbow joint, which permits blood flow to the forearm and hand regardless of the position of the elbow joint. Recurrent branches, in some cases double, originate from radial, ulnar, and interosseous arteries and travel proximally both anterior and posterior to the elbow joint. These vessels anastomose with collateral branches of the brachial and deep brachial arteries.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The four lumbrical muscles of the hand arise from the radial side of the flexor digitorum profundus tendons. They insert primarily into the extensor expansion tendons on the dorsal side of digits 2 to 5. They act primarily to extend the interphalangeal joints, although they also can flex the metatarsophalangeal joints. The two medial lumbrical muscles are innervated by the ulnar nerve, whereas the two lateral muscles are innervated by the median nerve. Thus, an injury to the median nerve would paralyze the lumbricals to digits 2 and 3, whereas injury to the ulnar nerve would affect the lumbricals to digits 4 and 5.

It is traversed by the ulnar artery and the ulnar nerve. Guyon’s canal syndrome, sometimes called handlebar palsy, results from entrapment of the ulnar nerve in the canal. Symptoms usually begin with a feeling of pins and needles in the fourth and fifth digits; these symptoms may progress to a loss of sensation and/or paresis/paralysis of many of the intrinsic muscles of the hand.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY A fractured scaphoid is often difficult to detect using radiography immediately after the fracture, although it can typically be easily seen using MRI. Furthermore, a transverse fracture of the scaphoid bone at its “waist” may result in avascular necrosis of the proximal segment because the blood supply to the scaphoid enters the bone distally.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Injury to the lower parts of the brachial plexus typically results in a “claw hand” deformity because most of the intrinsic hand muscles are innervated by the C8 and T1 spinal segments. A claw hand is produced by a combination of hyperextension at the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints and flexion at the interphalangeal (IP) joints due to paralysis of the lumbrical and interossei muscles, which are necessary for producing flexion at the MP joints and extension at the IP joints.

Radial artery Deep palmar arch Princeps pollicis artery Ulnar artery Superficial palmar arch Proper palmar digital arteries

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The princeps pollicis artery (principal artery of the thumb) branches off of the radial artery as it enters the deep part of the palm; the princeps pollicis artery passes between the first dorsal interosseous muscle and the oblique head of the adductor pollicis. It then accompanies the first metacarpal bone (medial side) to the base of the proximal phalanx, where it can be found deep to the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus muscle; it then divides into two branches to supply the digit. One of the reasons that a clinician palpates the pulse of a patient using the tips of the index and middle fingers is to avoid feeling his or her own pulse of the princeps pollicis artery.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Because of its superficial position overlying the cubital fossa, the median cubital vein is commonly used for venipuncture. It crosses the cubital fossa anterior to the bicipital aponeurosis, which helps protect the underlying structures within the cubital fossa, namely the brachial artery and median nerve. These structures may still be injured during venipuncture, however, if the needle is inserted too deeply or too far medially in the cubital fossa.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY If a person loses his or her mandibular teeth, the alveolar process of the mandible (the portion that supports the teeth) degenerates. When this happens, the mental foramen often comes to lie on the superior aspect of the body of the mandible so that with each chewing motion, pressure is placed on the nerve that exits from the foramen, the mental nerve. This is quite painful to the person while eating, especially if the person is wearing dentures.

Optic canal Lateral pterygoid plate of pterygoid process Pterygoid hamulus Superior orbital fissure Foramen rotundum

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY As the optic nerve (cranial nerve II) travels within the optic canal, the periosteum of the canal becomes firmly affixed to the dura surrounding the nerve. This can be significant in head trauma because a blow to the head can cause the nerve fibers within the nerve to shear due to this attachment. This can result in “indirect” trauma to the nerve (tearing of fibers) and cause visual abnormalities, including blindness.

Squamous part of temporal bone Zygomatic process of temporal bone Mandibular fossa External acoustic meatus Mastoid process

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The joint between the mandible and the temporal bone (temporomandibular joint [TMJ]) is located at the mandibular fossa. This joint is a bicondylar joint, actually involving the joints of both sides. Within each TMJ, an articular disk separates the joint into upper and lower joint cavities. The upper joint cavity is a sliding joint, allowing protrusion and retrusion of the mandible. The lower joint cavity primarily acts as a hinge joint, but some rotation is permitted. This is associated with the grinding motion of the teeth during chewing. Another example of a bicondylar joint is the knee, although in this case, the two condyles are contained within each joint cavity.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The olfactory nerve filaments pass from the olfactory mucosa in the upper part of the nasal cavity through the foramina of the cribriform plate to reach the olfactory bulb of the brain. Together, these nerve filaments comprise the second cranial nerve, the olfactory nerve. It is believed that some neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease may develop as a result of viruses following these nerves through these foramina to reach the brain.

Orbital plate of ethmoid bone (lamina papyracea) Fossa for lacrimal sac Infraorbital foramen Anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina Greater wing of sphenoidal bone Inferior orbital fissure

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The lamina papyracea is the part of the ethmoid bone that makes up the medial wall of the orbit. It is very thin and therefore fractures easily when there is a blow-out fracture of the orbit, as occurs when a person is hit in the orbit by a blunt object such as a softball. This thin-walled border also may be penetrated by infections, enabling them to spread from the ethmoidal sinus to the orbit.

Frontal belly of occipitofrontalis muscle Palpebral part of orbicularis oculi muscle Levator labii superioris muscle Orbicularis oris muscle Zygomaticus major muscle Depressor anguli oris muscle Platysma muscle

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The depressor anguli oris muscle is innervated by the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve. This nerve runs very superficially (immediately deep to the platysma muscle) along the body of the mandible and is easily cut during facial surgery. Although the loss of this muscle would seem trivial, it is not because the depressor anguli oris is very important for making normal facial expressions, including smiling. Facial surgeons typically try to stay superficial to the platysma muscle in this region so that they do not inadvertently transect the nerve.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Eagle syndrome (styloid process–carotid artery syndrome) is a condition associated with an exceptionally long styloid process (more than 30 mm) that interferes with adjacent structures. The patient typically presents with unilateral sore throat, swallowing difficulties, tinnitus, facial and neck pain, and earache. The elongated styloid process can also cause compression of the internal carotid artery, particularly when the head is turned.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The supraclavicular nerves provide cutaneous innervation to the neck and shoulder and contain nerve elements from the third and fourth cervical nerves. The phrenic nerve, which innervates the diaphragm, also contains nerve elements from the third and fourth cervical nerves. This explains why pain from the diaphragm and surrounding area may be referred to the shoulder.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The secretory cells within the parotid gland are innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). However, the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to this gland synapse in the otic ganglion in the infratemporal fossa and then travel with the auriculotemporal nerve to reach the gland. This is one example in which autonomic fibers in the head “hitch a ride” with branches of the trigeminal nerve to reach their destination.

Occasionally, the injection procedure damages the nerves, producing anesthesia or paresthesia of the teeth, tongue, mouth, and chin on that side that may be prolonged and very annoying to the patient. The chin is numb because the mental nerve is a terminal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve.

External carotid artery Ansa cervicalis Superior belly omohyoid muscle Superficial cervical lymph node Middle scalene muscle Subclavius muscle

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Three hundred of the estimated 800 lymph nodes in the body are situated in the neck. Lymph nodes in the head and neck are arranged in two horizontal rings and two vertical chains on either side of the neck. The outer (superficial) ring consists of the occipital, preauricular (parotid), submandibular, and submental nodes; the inner (deep) ring is formed by clumps of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) located primarily in the nasopharynx and oropharynx (Waldeyer’s ring). The vertical chain consists of superior and inferior groups of deep cervical nodes related to the carotid sheath (jugular groups). All lymph vessels of the head and neck drain into the deep cervical nodes, either directly from the tissues or indirectly via nodes in outlying groups. Lymph is returned to the systemic venous circulation via either the right lymphatic duct or the thoracic duct.

The external carotid has many branches, with the superior thyroid artery typically being the first (most inferior). This artery is ligated during surgical removal of the thyroid gland. The inferior thyroid artery also supplies the gland, and it arises from the thyrocervical trunk of the subclavian artery.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY In a blow-out fracture that damages the floor of the orbit (typically, the floor or medial wall is affected in this type of fracture), the inferior oblique and inferior rectus muscles often get caught in the fracture, limiting eye movements and causing double vision. Often, no operative procedure is necessary for healing because, as the inflammation subsides, the eye muscles become freed from the bone and normal eye movements resume.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric muscles are both innervated by the mylohyoid nerve, which is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. The mylohyoid nerve branches off the inferior alveolar nerve before the latter enters the mandibular canal. Both the mylohyoid nerve and the inferior alveolar nerve are ultimately branches of the mandibular nerve, which is the third division of the trigeminal nerve. Thus, injury to the mandibular nerve will paralyze these muscles as well as the muscles of mastication.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The ansa cervicalis is composed of a series of loops of nerve twigs from C1 to C3 that innervate the infrahyoid muscles, sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and omohyoid. The superior root of the ansa cervicalis briefly travels with and is affixed to the hypoglossal nerve, but there is no intermingling of fibers between the two nerves. Thus, it is incorrect to suggest that any of the infrahyoid muscles are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII), which does innervate almost all of the muscles of the tongue. Clearly then, a brainstem lesion that affects the hypoglossal nucleus would not affect the actions of these muscles.

Internal carotid artery Vertebral artery Right common carotid artery Right subclavian artery Brachiocephalic trunk Left common carotid artery Left subclavian artery Aortic arch

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Carotid stenosis is a narrowing of the carotid arteries caused by the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques. The carotid bifurcation is a common location of atherosclerosis. From this location, emboli from an atherosclerotic plaque can travel to the brain and occlude cerebral circulation. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a mini-stroke, is often a symptom of carotid stenosis. A TIA differs from a stroke in that blood flow to the brain is only interrupted temporarily, and any neurological deficits resolve within 24 hours. TIAs should not be ignored, however, as they are often “warning signs” of a stroke.

II. CLINICAL ANATOMY Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. There are two main types of hydrocephalus: communicating and noncommunicating. Communicating hydrocephalus occurs when the flow of CSF is blocked after it exits the ventricles, hence communication between the ventricles is intact. Noncommunicating or “obstructive” hydrocephalus occurs when the flow of CSF is blocked along one of the passages that connects the ventricles. Hydrocephalus is most often treated by surgically inserting a shunt to drain excess CSF from the brain.

The optic nerve sheath is continuous with the subarachnoid space of the brain, hence increases in intracranial pressure can be transmitted to the optic disc. Papilledema causes engorgement of the retinal veins and hemorrhages around the optic disc. Prolonged papilledema can cause blindness if the underlying cause is not addressed.

There is an opening, the tentorial incisure, which allows for passage of the brainstem. Increased intracranial pressure in the supratentorial space can cause parts of the temporal lobe, particularly the uncus, to herniate through the tentorial incisure (uncal herniation). The herniated uncus puts pressure on brainstem structures, causing pupillary dilation, ophthalmoplegia, and hemiparesis.
