  2. Posterior auricular nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_auricular_nerve

    The posterior auricular nerve is a nerve of the head. It is a branch of the facial nerve (CN VII). It communicates with branches from the vagus nerve, the great auricular nerve, and the lesser occipital nerve. Its auricular branch supplies the posterior auricular muscle, the intrinsic muscles of the auricle, and gives

  3. Posterior auricular artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_auricular_artery

    In the neck, the artery issues branches to the digastric muscle, stylohyoid muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the parotid gland. [1]In the neck, the posterior auricular artery issues the stylomastoid artery which enters the stylomastoid foramen to provide arterial supply to the facial nerve (CN VII), tympanic cavity, mastoid air cells of the mastoid antrum, and the semicircular canals.

  4. Reflex syncope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex_syncope

    In addition to the mechanism described above, a number of other medical conditions may cause syncope. Making the correct diagnosis for loss of consciousness is difficult. The core of the diagnosis of vasovagal syncope rests upon a clear description of a typical pattern of triggers, symptoms, and time course. [citation needed]

  5. Posterior auricular muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_auricular_muscle

    The posterior auricular muscle is found behind the auricle of the outer ear. [1] It consists of two or three fleshy fasciculi. These arise from the mastoid part of the temporal bone by short aponeurotic fibers. [1] They insert into the lower part of the cranial surface of the auricle of the outer ear. [1]

  6. Auriculotemporal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auriculotemporal_nerve

    The auriculotemporal nerve is a sensory branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V 3) that runs with the superficial temporal artery and vein, and provides sensory innervation to parts of the external ear, scalp, and temporomandibular joint. The nerve also conveys post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibres from the otic ganglion to the parotid gland. [1]

    Auricular sulcus is the depression behind the ear next to the head; Concha is the hollow next to the ear canal; Conchal angle is the angle that the back of the concha makes with the side of the head; Crus of the helix is just above the tragus; Cymba conchae is the narrowest end of the concha; External auditory meatus is the ear canal

  8. Medically unexplained physical symptoms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medically_unexplained...

    Medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS or MUS) are symptoms for which a treating physician or other healthcare providers have found no medical cause, or whose cause remains contested. [1] In its strictest sense, the term simply means that the cause for the symptoms is unknown or disputed—there is no scientific consensus .

  9. Anterior auricular branches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_auricular_branches

    The anterior auricular branches of the superficial temporal artery are distributed to the anterior portion of the auricula, the lobule, and part of the external meatus, anastomosing with the posterior auricular. They supply the external acoustic meatus and the visible part of the ear. Arterial vascular pattern of the auricle:
