Muscles that Move the Head

Muscles that Move the Head

The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Veins of Head and Neck

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

The Fluid Mosaic Model

The Fluid Mosaic Model

The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.

Summary

The FDA approved Epidiolex, a cannabis-derived medication, in 2018. This pharmaceutical ingredient effectively reduced severe seizure frequency by approximately 40% with a favorable safety profile.

Area of Science:

Pharmaceutical Science
Neurology
Cannabis Research

Background:

Cannabis-derived compounds are increasingly recognized for therapeutic potential.
The FDA's 2018 approval of Epidiolex marked a significant advancement.
Cannabidiol (CBD) has shown promise in managing specific medical conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the FDA's approval of Epidiolex (cannabidiol).
To underscore the significance of cannabis-derived pharmaceuticals.
To present Epidiolex as a credible pharmaceutical ingredient.

Main Methods:

Review of clinical data supporting Epidiolex efficacy.
Assessment of the safety profile of cannabidiol.
Analysis of the regulatory pathway for cannabis-based medications.

Keywords:

Cannabidiol Cannabis
