All mammals, including humans, are known to have a coronary sinus. The result is inadequate oxygen supply to the babys cells, organs, and tissues. The coronary sinus delivers deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle directly into the right atrium. Rasi Bhadramani / Getty Images The heart/lung circulation continuously flows through the heart, lungs, and body. This involves deliberately stopping the heart (temporarily) during a surgical heart procedure. Atlas of Human Cardiac Anatomy....

These 12 nerves control facial and eye movements and sensation There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Each cranial nerve has a specific set of functions. Several of the cranial nerves run through bones in the skull. EncyclopedIa Britannica / Getty Images This nerve detects odors and sends messages to the brain. Location Many tiny olfactory nerve fibers are embedded in your nose. The fibers merge together in the olfactory bulb, which is located above your nose....

It’s a terminal branch of thecommon peroneal nerve, a branch of thesciatic nerve. The deep peroneal nerve contains both motor and sensory fibers. Anatomy All of your nerves, except thecranial nerves, branch off the spinal cord. kbycphotography/Getty Images The nerves that extend away from the spine and into the limbs are called peripheral nerves. The sciaticnerve’s rootsleave the spinal cord between the vertebrae in your lower back’s lumbar and sacral regions....

This article will discuss the anatomy and main function of the epididymis. You’ll also learn about conditions that are related to this tubular structure. Caia Image / Getty Images Anatomy The epididymis is a coiled tube in three sections. Caia Image / Getty Images It sits inside the scrotum, attached to the testes. During their time moving through the epididymis, sperm mature and gain additional function. In particular, they gain the ability to propel themselves forward....

This article will go over the anatomy and function of the eustachian tube. You will also learn about conditions that can affect the auditory tube. Ninepence / Getty Images Where Is the Eustachian Tube? The eustachian tube is located in a part of the head and neck called theparapharyngealspace. In adults, the eustachian tube slopes down about 35 degrees. In children, the eustachian tube only slopes about 10 degrees down....

In the abdomen, the aorta splits into the right and left common iliac arteries. At the pelvic brim, each common iliac artery splits into the internal and external iliac arteries. Each external iliac artery courses downward and laterally, turning into thefemoral artery, which supplies each leg. MedicalRF.com / Getty Images Anatomy The left side of the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. Blood leaving the left ventricle passes through the aorta, the largest artery in the body....

Complications affecting the external jugular vein are relatively rare. Veins typically have a lower blood pressure thanarteries. doi: 10.4081/vl.2019.8379 Moore, KL, Dalley, AF, Agur, AMR.

“Ganglia” is the plural of the word “ganglion.” Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies found throughout the body. This article discusses the anatomy and function of ganglia, as well as their associated conditions and treatments. Anatomy Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies. Anerverefers to a bundle of axons, whereas aganglionrefers to a cluster of neuronal cell bodies. The other is connected to the CNS via the brain orspinal cord....

The ganglion is located in a bony structure that’s called the facial canal. Its involved in taste, the secretion of tears and saliva, facial expression, and several other functions. Anatomy A nerve ganglion is a group of nerves enclosed by a capsule of connective tissue. Doucefleur/iStock/Getty Images Typically, all of the nerves in a ganglion will have similar or related functions. The plural of ganglion is ganglia. You have 12 cranial nerve ganglia on each side of your brain....

The glossopharyngeal nerve is involved in taste, salivation, swallowing, and speech. It also provides nerve supply to the tonsils and middle ear and regulates blood flow to the brain. It then gives off a branch called thetympanic nerve, which goes through thetemporal boneto reach the middle ear. Jose Luis Pelaez Inc / Getty Images Knowing about them can also help diagnose problems with nerve function. That’s especially important during surgery in that area to keep the nerve fibers from being cut....

The smallest muscles that makes up the glutes The gluteus minimus is the smallest muscle of the gluteal muscles. Together with thegluteus maximusandgluteus medius, these three muscles make up the glutes. Your glutes help shape your butt, stabilize your hips, rotate your legs, and raise your thigh. Jiaqi Zhou It attaches to thefemur(the thighbone). Separating the gluteus minimus and the gluteus medius are superior gluteal nerves and blood vessels. How it moves depends on the location of the femur....

It also explains how gracilis muscle injuries are treated with exercise, stretches, rehabilitation, and medications. The namegraciliscomes from the Latin term for “slender.” You have two gracilis muscles, one on each side of your body. HRAUN / Getty Images The gracilis muscle is serviced by a branch of theobturator nerve. The gracilis and adductor longus are two of seven muscles classified as hip adductors. Together, these muscles are known as knee flexors....

The iliacus is one of the most important hip flexor muscles in your body. They are serviced by thefemoral nerve, which provides movement and sensation to the lower limbs. The iliacus muscle is situated on the largest of the three bones of the pelvis: the wing-shapedilium. The muscle fits neatly into the curved surface of the ilium, called the iliac fossa. The iliopsoas also interact with thequadratus lumborum (QL) muscle, the deepest muscle of the lower back....
