Carotid canal, the Glossary

The carotid canal is a passage in the petrous part of the temporal bone of the skull through which the internal carotid artery and its internal carotid (nervous) plexus pass from the neck into (the middle cranial fossa of) the cranial cavity.^[1]

Angiography

Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers.

See Carotid canal and Angiography

Basilar part of occipital bone

The basilar part of the occipital bone (also basioccipital) extends forward and upward from the foramen magnum, and presents in front an area more or less quadrilateral in outline. Carotid canal and basilar part of occipital bone are bones of the head and neck.

Blood vessel

Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.

Cavernous sinus

The cavernous sinus within the human head is one of the dural venous sinuses creating a cavity called the lateral sellar compartment bordered by the temporal bone of the skull and the sphenoid bone, lateral to the sella turcica.

Cranial cavity

The cranial cavity, also known as intracranial space, is the space within the skull that accommodates the brain. Carotid canal and cranial cavity are skull.

See Carotid canal and Cranial cavity

Eyelid

An eyelid is a thin fold of skin that covers and protects an eye. Carotid canal and eyelid are human head and neck.

Foramen lacerum

The foramen lacerum (lacerated piercing) is a triangular hole in the base of skull. Carotid canal and foramen lacerum are foramina of the skull.

Greater wing of sphenoid bone

The greater wing of the sphenoid bone, or alisphenoid, is a bony process of the sphenoid bone, positioned in the skull behind each eye. Carotid canal and greater wing of sphenoid bone are bones of the head and neck.

Inner ear

The inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear. Carotid canal and inner ear are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Carotid canal and Inner ear

Internal carotid artery

The internal carotid artery is an artery in the neck which supplies the anterior and middle cerebral circulation. Carotid canal and internal carotid artery are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Carotid canal and Internal carotid artery

Internal carotid plexus

The internal carotid plexus is a nerve plexus situated upon the lateral side of the internal carotid artery.

See Carotid canal and Internal carotid plexus

Internal carotid venous plexus

The internal carotid venous plexus is a network of veins surrounding the internal carotid artery as it passes through the carotid canal.

See Carotid canal and Internal carotid venous plexus

Jugular foramen

A jugular foramen is one of the two (left and right) large foramina (openings) in the base of the skull, located behind the carotid canal. Carotid canal and jugular foramen are foramina of the skull and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Carotid canal and Jugular foramen

Jugular fossa

The jugular fossa is a deep depression in the inferior part of the temporal bone at the base of the skull. Carotid canal and jugular fossa are bones of the head and neck, human head and neck, Otorhinolaryngology and skull.

See Carotid canal and Jugular fossa

Middle cranial fossa

The middle cranial fossa is formed by the sphenoid bones, and the temporal bones. Carotid canal and middle cranial fossa are skull.

See Carotid canal and Middle cranial fossa

Middle ear

The middle ear is the portion of the ear medial to the eardrum, and distal to the oval window of the cochlea (of the inner ear). Carotid canal and middle ear are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Carotid canal and Middle ear

Petrous part of the temporal bone

The petrous part of the temporal bone is pyramid-shaped and is wedged in at the base of the skull between the sphenoid and occipital bones. Carotid canal and petrous part of the temporal bone are bones of the head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Carotid canal and Petrous part of the temporal bone

Posterior cranial fossa

The posterior cranial fossa is the part of the cranial cavity located between the foramen magnum, and tentorium cerebelli. Carotid canal and posterior cranial fossa are Otorhinolaryngology and skull.

See Carotid canal and Posterior cranial fossa

Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina.

Scalp

The scalp is the area of the head where head hair grows. Carotid canal and scalp are human head and neck.

See Carotid canal and Scalp

Skeleton

A skeleton is the structural frame that supports the body of most animals.

Skull

The skull is a bone protective cavity for the brain. Carotid canal and skull are bones of the head and neck and human head and neck.

Superior cervical ganglion

The superior cervical ganglion (SCG) is the upper-most and largest of the cervical sympathetic ganglia of the sympathetic trunk.

Superior tarsal muscle

The superior tarsal muscle is a smooth muscle adjoining the levator palpebrae superioris muscle that helps to raise the upper eyelid.

Sweat gland

Sweat glands, also known as sudoriferous or sudoriparous glands,, are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat.

Sympathetic nervous system

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the others being the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

Temporal bone

The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. Carotid canal and temporal bone are bones of the head and neck, human head and neck, Otorhinolaryngology and skull.

See Carotid canal and Temporal bone

Tympanic canaliculus

The tympanic canaliculus (also tympanic canal, inferior tympanic canaliculus, temporal canaliculus, or Jacobson canal) is a minute canal in the bony wedge/ridge that separates the carotid canal and jugular foramen/jugular fossa. The proximal opening of the canal is situated upon the inferior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone; its distal opening is situated upon the floor of the tympanic cavity. Carotid canal and tympanic canaliculus are foramina of the skull.
