Study Notes
Head and Neck Orientation
- The head and neck are connected to the rest of the body and include both visceral and non-visceral spaces.
- Visceral spaces house organs, like the pharynx.
- Non-visceral spaces house structural components, like the skull.
Anatomy of the Pharynx
- The pharynx is a critical part of the head and neck because it connects these visceral spaces together.
- Pharynx is vital for both breathing and swallowing processes.
Fascia in the Head and Neck
- Fascia are sheets of connective tissue that organize the structural components of the head and neck.
Cranial Nerves
- Cranial Nerves are a major focus in understanding the anatomy of the head and neck.
- There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, each responsible for specific functions like sensory input, motor output, and autonomic control.
