The first cervical nerve emerges from the vertebral canal between the occipital bone and the atlas, and is therefore called the suboccipital nerve; the eighth issues between the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebræ. ❋ Unknown (1918)
In order to overcome the impermeability of barriers, Stern proposed a method of administering medications directly into the ventricles of the brain (suboccipital method), which proved its effectiveness in the treatment of the above-listed diseases. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The posterior division of the suboccipital, and the medial branches of the posterior division of the second and third cervical nerves are sometimes joined by communicating loops to form the posterior cervical plexus (Cruveilhier). ❋ Unknown (1918)
The Cervical Nerves (Nn. Cervicales) The posterior division of the first cervical or suboccipital nerve is larger than the anterior division, and emerges above the posterior arch of the atlas and beneath the vertebral artery. ❋ Unknown (1918)
It enters the suboccipital triangle and supplies the muscles which bound this triangle, viz., the Rectus capitis posterior major, and the Obliqui superior and inferior; it gives branches also to the Rectus capitis posterior minor and the Semispinalis capitis. ❋ Unknown (1918)
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. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Between the Obliqui and the Rectus capitis posterior major is the suboccipital triangle. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The deep muscles of the back and the suboccipital muscles are supplied by the posterior primary divisions of the spinal nerves. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The occipital vein (v. occipitalis) begins in a plexus at the back part of the vertex of the skull, From the plexus emerges a single vessel, which pierces the cranial attachment of the Trapezius and, dipping into the suboccipital triangle, joins the deep cervical and vertebral veins. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The anterior division of the first or suboccipital nerve issues from the vertebral canal above the posterior arch of the atlas and runs forward around the lateral aspect of its superior articular process, medial to the vertebral artery. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The first cervical or suboccipital nerve lies between the artery and the posterior arch of the atlas. ❋ Unknown (1918)
This part of the artery is covered by the Semispinalis capitis and is contained in the suboccipital trianglea triangular space bounded by the Rectus capitis posterior major, the Obliquus superior, and the Obliquus inferior. ❋ Unknown (1918)
On either side this membrane is defective below, over the groove for the vertebral artery, and forms with this groove an opening for the entrance of the artery and the exit of the suboccipital nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The vertebral vein (v. vertebralis) is formed in the suboccipital triangle, from numerous small tributaries which spring from the internal vertebral venous plexuses and issue from the vertebral canal above the posterior arch of the atlas. ❋ Unknown (1918)
It begins in the suboccipital region by communicating branches from the occipital vein and by small veins from the deep muscles at the back of the neck. ❋ Unknown (1918)
William Thomas Andrews was a dwarf seventeen years old, whose head measured in circumference 35 inches; from one external auditory meatus to another, 27 1/4 inches; from the chin over the cranial summit to the suboccipital protuberance, 37 1/2 inches; the distance from the chin to the pubes was 20 inches; and from the pubes to the soles of the feet, 16; he was a monorchid. ❋ Unknown (1896)
"Besides choking and discomfort you hear complaints about the normal occipital and suboccipital hair ..." ❋ Unknown (2009)
Occiput: Bilateral, at the suboccipital muscle insertions. ❋ Unknown (2008)
