Intrathecal administration is a route of administration for drugs via an injection into the spinal canal, or into the subarachnoid space so that it reaches the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

The greater omentum develops from the dorsal mesentery that connects the stomach to the posterior abdominal wall. During its development, the stomach undergoes its first 90° rotation along the axis of the embryo, so that posterior structures are moved to the left and structures anterior to the stomach are shifted to the right.
The danger space serves as an important pathway for complicated infections of the posterior pharynx to enter the chest and spinal column. Anterior to the parapharyngeal space is the masticator space which contains the lower dental row, muscles of mastication, the inferior alveolar nerve as well as branches of cranial nerve V.

Pathway of suprapubic aspiration is from the anterior abdominal wall (at left of each panel), just above the pubic symphysis. Note that a distended bladder will extend higher into the abdominal wall than the above image shows. Suprapubic aspiration is best performed if the child has not urinated recently, and thus has a full bladder. [2]
