Exempel på suboccipital

• The external vertebral venous plexuses travel inferiorly from this suboccipital region to drain into the brachiocephalic vein.

• The suboccipital nerve also innervates rectus capitis posterior minor.

• The muscle is innervated by the suboccipital nerve, the dorsal ramus of the first spinal nerve.

• The suboccipital nerve also passes through this defect.

• It supplies muscles of the suboccipital triangle, the rectus capitis posterior major, obliquus capitis superior, and obliquus capitis inferior.

• Through the condylar canal, the occipital emissary vein connects to the venous system including the suboccipital venous plexus, occipital sinus and sigmoid sinus.

• It lies within the suboccipital triangle along with the vertebral artery, where the artery enters the foramen magnum.

• It ascends after emerging from below the suboccipital triangle beneath the obliquus capitis inferior muscle.

• The electrodes are implanted in the bilateral suboccipital region.

• It forms the lower boundary of the suboccipital triangle of the neck.

• In the deep groove on the upper surface of the posterior arch of the atlas are the vertebral artery and the first cervical or suboccipital nerve.
