Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.3K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

The Arch of Aorta01:10

The Arch of Aorta

2.0K
The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

Spinal Nerves: Anatomy01:23

Spinal Nerves: Anatomy

9.3K
Spinal nerves are pivotal conduits in the nervous system, bridging the central nervous system (CNS) with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These nerves enable a complex communication network between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, facilitating sensory input, motor output, and autonomic functions.
There are 31 bilateral pairs of spinal nerves, each emerging from the spinal cord through the intervertebral foramina—openings between adjacent vertebrae. These nerves are...

Articulations of the Vertebral Column01:28

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

3.3K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

5.2K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

8.0K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A clear definition for the ascending ramus of the mandible is missing in scientific literature. This review highlights the need for a standardized definition for consistent clinical and research communication.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Research

Background:

  • The ascending ramus of the mandible lacks a universally accepted definition.
  • This absence hinders consistent communication in clinical practice and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the existence of a defined term for the ascending ramus of the mandible.
  • To assess the current state of definition within published scientific literature.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed.
  • Search terms included "ascending ramus" and "mandible".

Main Results:

  • The literature search revealed no established or widely accepted definition for the ascending ramus of the mandible.
  • Current scientific literature does not provide a common reference point.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical lack of an accepted definition for the ascending ramus of the mandible.
  • A proposal for a standardized definition is presented to facilitate future discourse.
