The suprasternal notch, also known as the fossa jugularis sternalis, jugular notch, or Plender gap, is a large, visible dip in between the neck in humans, between the clavicles, and above the manubrium of the sternum.
Extending lateralward from the posterior half of the condyle is a quadrilateral plate of bone, the jugular process, excavated in front by the jugular notch, which, in the articulated skull, forms the posterior part of the jugular foramen. The jugular notch may be divided into two by a bony spicule, the intrajugular process, which projects ...
The suprasternal notch (jugular notch) is located in the middle at the upper broadest part of the manubrium. This notch can be felt between the two clavicles. On either side of this notch are the right and left clavicular notches. [1] The manubrium joins with the body of the sternum, the clavicles and the cartilages of the first 1.5 pairs of ...
The jugular process is a quadrilateral or triangular bony plate projecting lateralward from the posterior half of the occipital condyle; it is a part of the lateral part of the occipital bone. [ 1 ] The jugular process is excavated in front by the jugular notch of occipital bone (which forms the posterior part of the jugular foramen ).
Jugular notch in the manubrium of the sternum: Anterior boundary: Midline of the neck from chin to the jugular notch Posterior boundary: The anterior margin of sternocleidomastoid: Superior boundary (base) The lower border of the body of the mandible, and a line extending from the angle of the mandible to the mastoid process
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. It is formed by the temporal bone and the occipital bone . It allows many structures to pass, including the inferior petrosal sinus , three cranial nerves , the sigmoid sinus , and meningeal arteries.
jugular foramen: 2: internal jugular vein, inferior petrosal sinus, sigmoid sinus: glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), vagus nerve (X), accessory nerve (XI) temporal: posterior cranial fossa: stylomastoid foramen: 2: stylomastoid artery: facial nerve (VII) occipital: posterior cranial fossa: hypoglossal canal: 2-hypoglossal nerve (XII) occipital ...
Intrajugular process of occipital bone (Processus intrajugularis ossis occipitalis) is a small, pointed process extending from the middle of the jugular notch of occipital bone, that subdivides the jugular notch of the occipital bone into a lateral and a medial part. [1]
