Volume 4 is the first of two volumes on the head and neck, that put your understanding of this specially complex region on a firm foundation. It has six sections: 1) support and movement of the head, 2) the skull and facial skeleton, 3) the nasal cavity and associated structures, 4) the oral cavity and associated structures, and 5) the larynx and associated structures.


Images from DVD 4: infrahyoid muscles; foramen magnum; nasal cavity; atlas and axis vertebrae; bones of skull.


Section 1 shows the cervical spine and the musculoskeletal structures that connect the head to the body. Section 2 gives an highly three-dimensional display of the challenging bony anatomy of the skull and facial skeleton. Sections 3, 4 and 5 focus on the major "visceral" parts of the head and neck that are associated with breathing, eating and speaking.
