  • Surgical Anatomy of the Upper Eyelid Relating to Upper Blepharoplasty Or Blepharoptosis Surgery
    Review Article http://dx.doi.org/10.5115/acb.2013.46.2.93 pISSN 2093-3665 eISSN 2093-3673 Surgical anatomy of the upper eyelid relating to upper blepharoplasty or blepharoptosis surgery Kun Hwang Department of Plastic Surgery and Center for Advanced Medical Education by BK21 Project, Inha University School of Medicine, Incheon, Korea Abstract: Eyelid anatomy, including thickness measurements, was examined in numerous age groups. The thickest part of the upper eyelid is just below the eyebrow (1.127±238 μm), and the thinnest near the ciliary margin (320±49 μm). The thickness of skin at 7 mm above the eyelashes was 860±305 μm. The results revealed no significant differences among the age groups. Fast fibers (87.8±3.7%) occupied a significantly larger portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) than nonfast fibers (12.2±3.7%). The frontalis muscle passed through and was inserted into the bundles of the OOM on the superior border of the eyebrow at the middle and medial portions of the upper eyelid. Laterally, the frontalis muscle inserted about 0.5 cm below the superior border of the eyebrow. Fast fibers occupied a significantly larger portion of the OOM than did non-fast fibers. The oculomotor nerve ends that extend forward to the distal third of the levator muscle are exposed and vulnerable to local anesthetics and may be numbed during blepharoplasty. The orbital septum consists of 2 layers. The outer layer of loose connective tissue descends to interdigitate with the levator aponeurosis and disperses inferiorly. The inner layer follows the outer layer, then reflects and continues posteriorly with the levator sheath.

    Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 19 No. 04 October’20 Original article: Morphometric study of hypoglossal canal of occipital bone in dry skulls of two states in southern nigeria Enaohwo, Taniyohwo.MAMERHI1, Okoro. Ogheneyebrorue. GODSWILL Abstract: Background: It is observed that the morphologic and morphometric variability of the occipital bone structures may coexist in the same individual or among different subjects of the same or different populations and thus, a sound knowledge of the morphometry of this area can provide important benefits in determining safe surgical zones during surgical procedures. Aim: The present study was aimed at measuring the length (right and left) and width (right and left) of the hypoglossal canal among adult dry skulls of two states in southern Nigeria. Materials and Method: This study adopted the cross sectional study design. A total of eighty (80) hypoglossal canal; right and left were selected by simple random sampling and their length and width were measured with the aid of the digital vernier caliper. Results: The hypoglossal canal length on the right side was seen to be higher compared to the left length of the hypoglossal canal while the right hypoglossal canal width was seen to be higher compared to the left hypoglossal canal width and also observed differences between the right and left sides were statistically significant (P=0.01). Conclusion: There was a statistical significant difference with regard to hypoglossal canal length (right and left) and width (right and left) among the studied population. Keywords: Occipital bone, hypoglossal canal, morphology, variation Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.

  • Lab Manual Axial Skeleton Atla
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the axial skeleton, which consists of the bones that form the axis of the body. The axial skeleton includes bones in the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage, as well as the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. In addition to learning about all the bones of the axial skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the axial skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens. You may also find it helpful to palpate bones on yourself or make drawings of the bones with the bone markings labeled.

There are four rectus and two oblique muscles attached to each eye. The rectus muscles originate from the Annulus of Zinn, which encircles the optic foramen and medial portion of the superior orbital fissure (Fig. 1.1). These muscles pass forward in the orbit and gradually diverge to form the orbital muscle cone. By means of a tendon, the muscles insert into the sclera anterior to the rotation centre of the globe (Fig. 1.2). The extraocular muscles are striated muscles. They contain slow fibres, which produce a graded contracture on the exterior surface, and fast fibres, which produce rapid movements on the interior surface adjacent to the globe. The slow fibres con- tain a high content of mitochondria and oxidative enzymes. The fast fibres contain high amounts of glycogen and glycolytic enzymes and less oxidative enzymes than the slow fibres. The global layer of the extraocular muscles contains palisade end- ings in the myotendonous junctions, which are believed to act as sensory receptors. Signals from the palisade endings passing to the central nervous system may serve to maintain muscle tension (Ruskell 1999, Donaldson 2000).

Wysocki 1Clinic of Otolaryngology and Rehabilitation, II Medical Faculty, Warsaw Medical University, Poland, Kajetany, Nadarzyn, Poland 2Laboratory of Clinical Anatomy of the Head and Neck, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, Poland, Kajetany, Nadarzyn, Poland [Received 7 July 2008; Accepted 10 October 2008] Based on the dissections of 24 bones of 12 macaques (Macaca mulatta), a systematic anatomical description was made and measurements of the cho- sen size parameters of the temporal bone as well as the skull were taken. Although there is a small mastoid process, the general arrangement of the macaque’s temporal bone structures is very close to that which is observed in humans. The main differences are a different model of pneumatisation and the presence of subarcuate fossa, which possesses considerable dimensions. The main air space in the middle ear is the mesotympanum, but there are also additional air cells: the epitympanic recess containing the head of malleus and body of incus, the mastoid cavity, and several air spaces on the floor of the tympanic cavity. The vicinity of the carotid canal is also very well pneuma- tised and the walls of the canal are very thin. The semicircular canals are relatively small, very regular in shape, and characterized by almost the same dimensions. The bony walls of the labyrinth are relatively thin.
