These flattened tendons (aponeurosis) of extensor muscles span the proximal and middle phalanges. [ 2 ] At the distal end of the metacarpal , the extensor tendon will expand to form a hood, which covers the back and sides of the head of the metacarpal and the proximal phalanx .
The medial palpebral ligament (medial canthal tendon) is a ligament of the face. It attaches to the frontal process of the maxilla , the lacrimal groove , and the tarsus of each eyelid . It has a superficial (anterior) and a deep (posterior) layer, with many surrounding attachments.
The suspensory ligament of eyeball (or Lockwood's ligament) forms a hammock stretching below the eyeball between the medial and lateral check ligaments and enclosing the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles of the eye.
The body of the superior oblique muscle is located behind the eyeball, but the tendon (redirected by the trochlea) approaches the eyeball from the front. The tendon attaches to the top (superior aspect) of the eyeball at an angle of 51 degrees concerning the primary position of the eye (looking straight forward). Therefore, the force of the ...

The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas).The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine.
From these attachments the fibers are directed upward, and join the galea aponeurotica below the coronal suture. The medial margins of the frontalis muscles are joined together for some distance above the root of the nose ; but between the occipitales there is a considerable, though variable, interval, occupied by the galea aponeurotica .
In anatomy, the temporalis muscle, also known as the temporal muscle, is one of the muscles of mastication (chewing). It is a broad, fan-shaped convergent muscle on each side of the head that fills the temporal fossa, superior to the zygomatic arch so it covers much of the temporal bone. [1]
