Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Iliac Attachment of the Psoas Major Muscle: Anatomical Study of a Novel Muscle Attachment

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The iliopsoas muscle is important functionally and is often encountered during various surgical procedures. During routine cadaveric dissection, a previously undescribed muscular structure was located deep to the iliacus muscle and coursed inferomedially to merge with the posterior aspect of the psoas major, running over the iliopectineal ...

Cranial Nerve Anatomy

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2022
The 12 cranial nerves (CNs) all have important functions. All, except the accessory nerve, arise solely within the cranial vault. We will discuss each CN function along with its entire CN course. The modality of choice for evaluation of the CN itself is typically MRI, however, CT is very important to access the bony foramina and CN boundaries..

Cranial Nerve Stimulation for Olfaction (Cranial Nerve 1)

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2020
Like sensory maps in other systems, the sense of smell has an organizational structure based on converging projections of olfactory receptor neurons containing unique odorant receptors onto the olfactory bulb in synaptic aggregations termed glomeruli.

On the terminology of cranial nerves

Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2011
The present contribution adopts various points of view to discuss the terminology of the twelve nervi craniales. These are paired nerves and have dual names, terms with Roman ordinal numerals, i.e., the nerves are numbered in the top-to-bottom direction, and descriptive historical names.

ANATOMY OF THE CRANIAL NERVES

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1998
The anatomy of cranial nerves I and III through XII are presented. Each nerve is diagrammatically illustrated from its nuclear or its sensory origin and correlated with magnetic resonance and computed tomography images. The important identifying anatomical landmarks are demonstrated along the course of each nerve.

Lower Cranial Nerves

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2014
Imaging evaluation of cranial neuropathies requires thorough knowledge of the anatomic, physiologic, and pathologic features of the cranial nerves, as well as detailed clinical information, which is necessary for tailoring the examinations, locating the abnormalities, and interpreting the imaging findings.

Cranial nerve 13

2019
Contrary to popular belief, there are 13 cranial nerves. The thirteenth cranial nerve, commonly referred to as the nervus terminalis or terminal nerve, is a highly conserved multifaceted nerve found just above the olfactory bulbs in humans and most vertebrate species.
