In human anatomy, the superficial temporal artery is a major artery of the head. It arises from the external carotid artery when it splits into the superficial temporal artery and maxillary artery. Its pulse can be felt above the zygomatic arch, above and in front of the tragus of the ear.
Facial pulse: located on the mandible (lower jawbone) on a line with the corners of the mouth (facial artery). Temporal pulse: located on the temple directly in front of the ear (superficial temporal artery). Although the pulse can be felt in multiple places in the head, people should not normally hear their heartbeats within the head.
The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. [3] The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memory, language comprehension, and emotion association. [4]: 21 Temporal refers to the head's temples.
Meditation can help lower resting heart rate. While amping up your cardiovascular exercise routine may seem an obvious path to the long-term lowering of your resting heart rate, meditation is a ...
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 ]
[12] [13] Accurate R peak detection is essential in signal processing equipment for heart rate measurement and it is the main feature used for arrhythmia detection. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] The definition of poor R wave progression (PRWP) varies in the literature.
The brain contains four main lobes: temporal lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and the occipital lobe. The temporoparietal junction lies in the region between the temporal and parietal lobes, near the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). Specifically, it is composed of the inferior parietal lobule and the caudal parts of the superior temporal ...
The word "temple" as used in anatomy has a separate etymology from the other meaning of word temple, meaning "place of worship".Both come from Latin, but the word for the place of worship comes from templum, whereas the word for the part of the head comes from Vulgar Latin * tempula, modified from tempora, plural form ("both temples") of tempus, a word that refers both to "time" and to this ...
