1. Comunicări între fose și cavități

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Infratemporal fossa : An anatomical space located deep to the ramus of the mandible that communicates with nearby fossae and cavities.
  • Temporal fossa : A cranial fossa on the side of the head that serves as a pathway between adjacent facial and cranial spaces.
  • Pterygopalatine fossa : A deep fossa behind the maxilla that connects the nasal cavity, orbit, and infratemporal region.
  • Zygomatic arch medial arc : The medial part of the zygomatic arch that forms a boundary near the pterygomaxillary fissure.
  • Pterygomaxillary fissure : A cleft between the infratemporal region and the pterygopalatine/nasal pathways that allows passage of structures.

Fossa pterigopalatina — communication?

Connects nasal cavity, orbit, infratemporal region.

Nervul facial — segment timpanic?

Located near the middle ear cavity.

Canalul facial — pathway?

Runs through the facial canal from the internal acoustic meatus to stylomastoid foramen.

Ramuri intrapietroase — nerves?

Nervul timpanic, chorda tympani, stapedius nerve.

Ramuri extrapietroase — territories?

Innervate head muscles, glands, and sensory areas via cervical and thoracic branches.

Nervul glosofaringian — origin?

Emerges from the medulla, exits jugular foramen.
