A nosebleed (epistaxis) usually occurs in the anterior part of the nose from an area known as Kiesselbach's plexus which consists of arteries. Woodruff's plexus is a venous plexus in the posterior part and a nosebleed here accounts for only between 5 and 10 per cent of nosebleeds. Older adults are most often affected. [5]
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.
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 .
The venous plexus of hypoglossal canal [Note 1] is a small venous plexus surrounding the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) [1] as it passes through the hypoglossal canal. [3] [4] [5] [better source needed] The plexus connects with the occipital sinus (intercranially), inferior petrosal sinus (intercranially), internal jugular vein (extracranially), [1] condylar vein, and paravertebral ...
She recruited her sister Cynthia Benson and husband Mark Henriksen under the Meridian Films label to co-produce a series of exercise videos. The first volume began production in 1983 and released in 1986 to pre-order and mail order sales. [1] [2] It quickly established itself as a competitor to personalities like Jane Fonda.
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 ...
"Dynamic Tension" is the name Charles Atlas gave to the system of physical exercises that he first popularized in the 1920s. Dynamic Tension is a self-resistance exercise method which pits muscle against muscle. The practitioner tenses the muscles of a given body part and then moves the body part against the tension as if a heavy weight were ...
The anterior pulmonary plexus is close in proximity to the pulmonary artery. [1] The posterior pulmonary plexus is bounded by the superior edge of the pulmonary artery and the lower edge of the pulmonary vein. [1] Both lungs are innervated primarily by the posterior pulmonary plexus; it accounts for 74–77% of the total innervation. [1]
