Furrow Occipital Superior

Occipital groove Superior is a groove that is located on the back of the skull. It is one of the two superior occipital grooves, which are located at the back of the skull and run from the back of the head to the base of the skull.

The superior occipital groove consists of two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior part of the groove runs from the back of the head to the middle of the skull, and the rear part runs from the middle of the skull to the base.

The superior occipital grooves have several functions. One of them is the connection between the brain and the spine. Another function is that the sulcus allows the meninges to grow and develop and also protects the brain from damage.

Overall, the superior occipital fissure plays an important role in the human body, and its disruption can lead to various diseases and health problems.

Superior occipital groove (s. Occipitalis Superiores) - a groove on the dorsal surface of the skull in the parietal bone, located above the foramen magnum, one of the posterior sections of the mandibular branch of the lower jaw of the temporomandibular joint. Used to treat patients with cervical artery fibroids, as well as in patients with dental anomalies.

The superior occipital groove (s. Occipital superiores) is divided into anterior and posterior regions. Located along the upper edge of the parieto-occipital sulcus. The shape is a triangular section with a chisel, the outer corner of which connects to the extreme spine of the posterior inferior temporal bone. The anterior groove is the deepest of all the upper sections of the occipital margin. It flows into the inferior funnel with a wide and deep funnel located behind the coracoid process. Together with the posterior surfaces of the cervical vertebrae, it forms a muscular aponeurotic protrusion. Rear
