The relationships of the facial nerve, retromandibular vein, and external carotid artery are clearly visible. Muscles of the head include temporalis, masseter, and posterior belly of digastric, while arteries such as the facial, transverse facial, and superficial temporal arteries are preserved. The facial and transverse facial veins unite to form the common facial vein, which joins the retromandibular vein to form the external jugular vein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the anterior view, facial muscles around the mouth (buccinator, orbicularis oris, zygomaticus major) and muscles of mastication are displayed. In the left infratemporal fossa, the medial and lateral pterygoids are dissected to show the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, including the lingual nerve and inferior alveolar branch. The ophthalmic division branches (supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves) supplying the forehead and scalp are also demonstrated. The submandibular glands and facial vessels coursing over the mandible are clearly visible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Anatomy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe musculoskeletal structures of the neck are removed to expose the pharynx posteriorly, larynx anteriorly, and neurovascular bundles laterally. The suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are visible, as are the vocal folds viewed from below the trachea. The cricothyroid muscle is also identifiable. Neurovascular structures include the hypoglossal nerve, vagus nerve, internal jugular vein, common carotid artery with bifurcation into ECA and ICA, and the superior thyroid artery. The ansa cervicalis and internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve are visible on the anterior neck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosterior Pharynx and Vertebrobasilar Structures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe superior, middle, and inferior constrictors of the pharynx are displayed, along with the esophagus and posterior horn of the hyoid bone. The carotid sheath shows the vagus nerve and its pharyngeal branches, and the recurrent laryngeal nerve is briefly visible. Occipital arteries curve around the mastoid, and the vertebral arteries are seen entering the foramen magnum. Removal of the cerebellum exposes the fourth ventricle, cut cerebellar peduncles, and the posterior inferior cerebellar artery on the right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCranial Cavity and Visual Pathways\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe orbits are opened to reveal orbital nerves, vessels, eyes, and optic nerves. The optic chiasm, optic tracts, and lateral geniculate bodies are retained, showing key visual pathways. The brainstem is cut to demonstrate cranial nerve origins, while the olfactory tracts and bulbs are also displayed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erler-Zimmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54831720071544,"sku":"EZ-MP1670","price":2292.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/6087\/6201\/files\/MP1670_8.jpg?v=1758793546","url":"https:\/\/simandskills.co.uk\/products\/head-and-visceral-column-of-the-neck","provider":"Sim \u0026 Skills","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
