The most inferior portion of the pharynx that connects to the larynx is the laryngopharynx. It extends from the epiglottis to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage. This part of the pharynx serves as a passageway for both air and food.
The regions not typically associated with the ventral anterior portion of the head are the occipital lobe, which is located at the back of the brain responsible for visual processing, and the cerebellum, situated towards the back of the brain underneath the occipital lobe and involved in motor control and coordination.
The three parts of the sternum are the manubrium, the body (also called the gladiolus), and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the top portion that connects to the clavicles, the body is the middle and longest part, and the xiphoid process is the smallest and most inferior portion.
The foramen magnum is a large opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes and connects to the brain. It also allows for the passage of blood vessels and nerves between the brain and the spinal cord.
The inferior portion of the stomach is called the antrum. It is located near the bottom of the stomach and plays a role in mixing food with digestive juices before it is passed into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
The atrioventricular (AV) node is located in the inferior portion of the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus.
The most inferior portion of the pharynx that connects to the larynx is the laryngopharynx. It extends from the epiglottis to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage. This part of the pharynx serves as a passageway for both air and food.
The brainstem is the most inferior portion of the brain.
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
The portion of the pharynx that connects to the nose and contains the adenoids is the nasopharynx. Adenoids are a collection of lymphoid tissue located in the back of the nasopharynx, near the opening of the eustachian tube. They are part of the immune system and help protect the body from infections.
Vision reception is processed in the occipital lobe (at the back of the brain), with visuospatial processing occurring in the parietal lobe.
The regions not typically associated with the ventral anterior portion of the head are the occipital lobe, which is located at the back of the brain responsible for visual processing, and the cerebellum, situated towards the back of the brain underneath the occipital lobe and involved in motor control and coordination.
Inferior Vena Cava
The point where the vertebral column articulates with the skull is called the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint consists of the occipital condyles of the skull articulating with the atlas (C1 vertebra). It allows for nodding or "yes" motion of the head.
