Back and central nervous system

Mandible– body meets ramus on either side at angle of mandible– mylohyoid line = oblique ridge of bone coursing backward to space behind third molar tooth (for attaching mylohyoid muscle) (separates mouth and neck)– U. border of body = alveolar part (for anchoring roots of teeth)– L. border of body = base (digastric fossa)– coronoid process (ant.): insertion for temporalis– condyloid process (post.): articulates with temporal bone (temporomandibular joint)– mental foramen below second premolar tooth– structures passing through mental foramen = mental n. and mental a. + v.– mandibular foramen leads to mandibular canal (transmits inferior alveolar n. + a.)
The Stomach (ST)
Published in Narda G. Robinson, Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy, 2016
In the depression below the zygomatic arch and anterior to the condyloid process of the mandible (the posterior “prong” of the mandible), nearly level with the tragus of the ear. Needle with the mouth closed, but find the point with the mouth open, in order to locate the condyloid process of the mandible. Rest a finger on the condyloid process with the mouth open; when the mouth closes, the finger will fall into ST 7.

The manually defined landmarks and those automatically detected by the AIC alignment algorithm were used to adapt the dimensions of our parametric FE model. We observed a significant difference (Figure 7a). Our findings are consistent with those of other researchers (Pirttiniemi et al. 1990; Wohlberg et al. 2012) who empirically detected an increase in the slope of the articular eminence in the XS group. We also found that the condyle width was significantly greater in the XS than the NXS group, in agreement with the findings of Veli and coworkers (Veli et al. 2011). However, in contrast to the findings of previous empirical studies (Prakash and Durgesh 2011; Planas 2013; Tsanidis et al. 2016), we observed no significant relationship between eminence slope and condyle head width, likely due to the incomplete development of the condyloid process in our patients (Karlo et al. 2010).
