Study Notes

Krahet e medhenj të kockës sfenoidale

Krahet e medhenj të kockës sfenoidale janë formacione të rëndësishme anatomike.
Ato pjesëmarrin në formimin e zgavrës kraniale.
Ato kanë rëndësi në strukturim dhe lidhjen e strukturave të ndryshme anatomike.
Krahet e medhenj nuk kanë 3 faqe, por kanë një sipërfaqe të madhe dhe komplekse.
Të gjithë pjesët e kockës, përfshirë dhe krahet e medhenj, formojnë një pjesë të rëndësishme të skeletit.
Njohuria e hollësishme e anatomisë së kranit është e nevojshme për të kuptuar funksionet e saj dhe problemet e mundshme.
