15. Neck. Cervical vertebrae, cartilages, triangels

Cervical vertebrae: There are seven cervical vertebrae of which the first two are atypical. All cervical vertebrae have the foramina transversaria which produce a canal that transmits the vertbral artery and vein.

Atlas: This is the first cervical vertebra (C1). It has no body and leaves a space to accommodate the dens of the second cervical vertebra. Axis: This is the second cervical vertebra (C2). It has an odontoid process, which articulates with the atlas as a pivot joint. Hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone, which is suspended by muscles and ligaments at the level of vertebra C3.

Laryngeal prominence is formed by the lamina of the thyroid cartilage.

cricoid cartilage. The arch of the cricoid is palpable below the thyroid cartilage and superior to the first tracheal ring (vertebral level C6). Triangles of the neck: The neck is divided into a posterior and an arterior triangle by the sternocleidomastoid muscle. These triangles are subdivided by smaller muscles into six smaller triangles. The posterior triangle is bound by the sternocleidomastoid, the clavicle, and the trapezius. Occipital triangle is located above the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle. Its contents include the following: CN XI Cutaneous branches of the cervical plexus are the lesser occipital, great auricular, transverse cervical, and supaclavicular nerves.

Subclavian (omoclavicular, supraclavicular) triangle is located below the inferior belly of the omohyoid. Its contents include the following: Brachial plexus supraclavicular portion The branches include the dorsal scapular, long thoracic, subclavius, and suprascapular nerves.

The third part of the subclavian artery enters the subclavian triangle.

The subclavian vein passes superficial to scalenus anterior muscle. It receives the external jugular vein.

Anterior triangle is bound by the sternocleidomastoid muse the midline of the neck, and the inferior border of the body of the mandible. Muscular triangle is bound by the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the superior belly of the omohyoid muscle, and the midline of the neck. Carotid (vascular) triangle is bound by the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the superior belly of the omohyoid muscle and the posterior belly of the digastric muscle. The carotid triangle contains the following: Internal jugular vein; Common carotid artery, bifurcates and form the internal and external carotid arteries. The external carotid artery has six branches (ie, the superior thyroid; the ascending pharyngeal, the lingual, the facial, the occipital, and the posterior auricular arteries). Vagus nerve hypoglossal nerve; internal and external laryngeal branches of the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve. Digastric (sub-mandibular) triangle is bound by the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle and the inferi or border of the body of the mandible. It contains the submandibu-lar salivary gland. Submental triangle is bound by the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, the hyoid bone, and the midline of the neck. It contains the submental lymph nodes.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Wearable device that responds to human thoughts 19.04.2018

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a system called AlterEgo that can recognize non-verbal signals - that is, in fact, read the mind of the wearer. The development consists of a computer system and a device that is attached behind the ear, runs along the chin line and ends under the user's mouth.

The wearable device's electrodes pick up neuromuscular signals in the jaw and face that are generated by inner speech - the words a person says in their head. These signals are fed to a machine learning system that analyzes the data and associates certain signals with words.

The system can also interact with the user through a "bone-conducting" earpiece, transmitting vibrations from the face to the ear. It is designed to make it convenient for the carrier to receive the necessary information without interrupting the conversation.

The researchers tested the system in a variety of situations, including playing chess, multiplication, and addition, using a 20-word lexicon in each case. With these 20 words, the design achieves 92% accuracy.

Over time, researchers want to achieve 100% accuracy. Another example of using AlterEgo is to select a movie to watch by controlling what is displayed on the TV screen.

To create such a device, it was necessary to determine the location of the facial points with the most reliable neuromuscular signals. To do this, the subjects were placed 16 electrodes in different parts of the face and asked to mentally pronounce sequences of the same words four times. So seven most effective zones were found. Now the Institute is trying to create the same device, but using only four points on the jaw line.
