| Dissection of oral region |
| Left mandibular canal; inferior alveolar nerve and artery, lateral view |
| The muscles of expression have been completely removed from the left half of the face. The lips, mucosa of the oral cavity with its associated glands, and the buccinator muscle (20) have been preserved. The ramus of the mandible, masseter and temporal muscles, and zygomatic arch have been cut away. The contents of the infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae are visible. The body of the mandible has been partially cut away (22) in order to demonstrate the course of the inferior alveolar vessels and nerve (21). Numerous small veins filled with blue latex surrounded the inferior alveolar artery and nerve and were removed. |
