Nervous Disposition



As an ongoing series (other bits being the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity(tbc), and as a cold shower to Strcprstskrzkrk's excitable nature; this is a learning aid from my last set of exams showing the exact courses and relations of the Mandibular Nerve and Maxillary artery and their branches.

Really obscure, but the type of thing I was obsessed with knowing in great detail. The image is seen looking from within the mouth outwards, the little blobby bits in the bottom right corner are the lower back teeth. The purple wedges are two muscles, the pterygoids (means "winglike" in Greek) and the yellow strings are the branches of the second part of the Trigeminal nerve as it exits the skull.
