What is the most cranial cervical vertebra?
seven
Which cranial nerve supplies the thumb?
It is not one of the cranial nerves (I-XII), it is cervical nerve number 6.
What structure separates the cranial cavity and thoracic cavity?
The cervical spine, or the neck.
Where are the apophyseal joints located?
The apophyseal joints are synovial joints in the vertebral column, between the superior or cranial articular process of one vertebra and the inferior or caudal articular process of the vertebra directly above it. See the link below:
What cranial nerve is also known as the accessory nerve?
The accessory nerve is also known as cranial nerve XI. It is primarily responsible for innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, facilitating shoulder elevation and head rotation. The nerve has both cranial and spinal components, with its cranial part originating from the brainstem and the spinal part arising from the upper cervical spinal cord.
What nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve?
The facial nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve. It is a separate cranial nerve responsible for facial movement and sensation.
What are the 4 regiones of the pig?
1) head (cranial) region 2) neck (cervical) region 3) trunk (thoracic) region 4) tail (caudal) region
What body cavity protect the spinal column?
The dorsal cavity is located in the skull and within the spinal column. It is divided into the cranial and spinal cavities, which protect the nervous system.
What cranial bone articulates with all other cranial bones?
The Sphenoid (Sphenoidal Bone) this is why it is know as the keystone of the cranial floor *The sphenoid is not a facial bone, it is a cranial bone. There is no facial bone which 'articulates' with 'every other facial bone'. Articulation suggests jointed so sutures would make more sense & these sutures would be on all facial bones edges which knit them together
Why is the face not included in the dermatome distribution?
The face is not included in typical dermatome distribution because the cranial nerves innervate the face instead of spinal nerves. The cranial nerves, specifically the trigeminal nerve (CN V), provide sensory innervation to the face.
Where does the accessory nerve originate?
The accessory nerve, also known as cranial nerve XI, originates from two parts: the cranial portion and the spinal portion. The cranial part arises from the medulla oblongata, while the spinal part originates from the upper cervical spinal cord (C1-C5). These two components combine and exit the skull through the jugular foramen before innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
Nerves in the scalp and face?
Nerves in the scalp and face primarily originate from the cranial nerves, particularly the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), which is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions like chewing. The scalp is innervated by branches of the trigeminal nerve as well as cervical spinal nerves, providing sensation. Additional cranial nerves, such as the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), control facial expressions. Together, these nerves enable complex sensory and motor functions in the head region.
