Background: Though human beings are thought to be singularly alike in their general anatomical construction, but when we come to investigate one particular region in detail, we frequently meet one or another type of variations. Muscles of the arm exhibit numerous variations. Commonest muscle of the arm to show variations is the biceps brachii. We are presenting series of variation of origin and number of heads of bicep brachi. Materials and Methods: 20 limbs were dissected as per the standard methods to note the origin, insertion and the nerve supply of the biceps brachii in the
A detailed knowledge of the position of supraorbital notch/ foramen is essential for performing invasive surgical procedures involving anesthetic and therapeutic procedures. It is also helpful for anthropologists and forensic scientists. Materials and Methods: Supraorbital notch and or foramen were analyzed in 100 human dry skulls bilaterally using digital vernier Calipers. The parameters that were taken up in the study were number of the notches/ foramen, shape of the foramen and distance of the supraorbital notch/foramen from the nasion and from the frontozygomatic suture. Results: Supraorbital notches were found to be more in number 43.8% as compared to foramens which were about 17.7%. Numbers of oval shaped foramina were more than round shaped foramina. The mean distance of Supra orbital Foramen (SOF)/ Supra orbital Notch SON from the nasion was about 21.66mm on right and 21.51mm on left side. Distance of SOF/ SON from the frontozygomatic suture on the right side was about 29.29mm while on the left side it was about 28.98mm. Conclusion: Shape and position of the supraorbital notch/foramen was quite variable as was found in the present study. Hence detailed morphological analysis of supraorbital notch/foramen is essential for various therapeutic and anesthetic procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
