Woodruff's plexus was discovered by George H. Woodruff in 1949. The plexus is located below the posterior end of the inferior concha , on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] He described it as the naso-nasopharyngeal plexus .
Kiesselbach's plexus is an anastomotic arterial network (plexus) of four or five arteries in the nose supplying the nasal septum. It lies in the anterior inferior part of the septum known as Little's area, Kiesselbach's area, or Kiesselbach's triangle. It is a common site for anterior nosebleeds.
This area is richly endowed with blood vessels (Kiesselbach's plexus). This region is also known as Little's area. Bleeding farther back in the nose is known as a posterior bleed and is usually due to bleeding from Woodruff's plexus, a venous plexus situated in the posterior part of inferior meatus. [17]
Wilhelm Kiesselbach (1 December 1839 – 4 August 1902) was a German otolaryngologist born in Hanau. From 1859 he studied medicine at the universities of Göttingen , Marburg and Tübingen . In 1877/78 he worked as assistant under Wilhelm Olivier Leube in the polyclinic at the University of Erlangen .
Kiesselbach was born in Shelby, Nebraska to Alexander and Caroline Bayrhoffer Kiesselbach on March 14, 1884. [1] He trained as both an undergraduate and graduate student at the University of Nebraska where he trained with Charles Bessey, receiving a BS in 1908, an MA in 1912, and a PhD in 1918. He joined the faculty of the University of ...
Woodruff's long career in journalism has included time at CNN and NBC News. She was host of PBS' “NewsHour” between 2013 and 2022, before stepping down for a reporting project.
The myenteric plexus (or Auerbach's plexus) provides motor innervation to both layers of the muscular layer of the gut, having both parasympathetic and sympathetic input (although present ganglion cell bodies belong to parasympathetic innervation, fibers from sympathetic innervation also reach the plexus), whereas the submucous plexus provides secretomotor innervation to the mucosa nearest the ...
The plexus provides motor innervation to most muscles of the soft palate (all but the tensor veli palatini muscle) and most muscles of the pharynx (all but the stylopharyngeus muscle). [1] The larynx meanwhile receives motor innervation from the vagus nerve (CN X) via its external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve and its recurrent ...
