Grass

Let me be a patch of grass
To lay and soften the path before you
If only I could kiss your feet
I am willing to let you trample on me

eye

fear so eye and pupil open.. so sympathetic supply dilator pupillae!!!
para ganglion COPS ciliary? otic pterygopalatine and submandibular

Parotid gland

Hmm the parotid gland is curious. I wonder...
the superior border extends from the zygomatic arch to the posterior of the the temporalmandibular joint! the apex of the wedge-shaped gland is situated post to the angle of the mandible.. the base lies in the post part of the mandibular fossa.. the ant border is superficial to the masseter YES!

now the relations? the ant relation of the parotid gland is the masseter?
post there is the facial nerve?
ant medially there are masseter and the ramus of the mandiblee
post medial there is the styloid process of the temp bone and the associated muscle.. the sternocleidomastoid the is the carotid sheath with internal jug vein carotid art vagus nerve.. as well as cranial nerves 9-12.. ok good wad else? a lot more to go! in the deep surface of the gland it is in contact with the pharyngeal wall

secretomotor is by parasympathetic nerve frm the the glossopharyngeal nerve which travels to the inferior salivary ganglion and then to the tympanic branch reaching the tympanic plexus.. then it continues to synapse in the the otic ganglion and then! by the auriculotemporal nerve to innervat the gland
sup cerv ganglion provide symp nerve for vasoconstriction of vessel in the gland
in the gland the relations from medial to lateral... medial to lateral... yes medial to lateral is the facial nerve the retromandibular artery into max and sup temp art and the vein sama sama plus plus plus lymph nodes!

Mistake: ext carotid gives max and sup tem retromandi give max and sup tem.. there is NO retromandi artery!

friends

Two dogs are always fighting.. One day, one dog get tired and tell the other dog.. hey lets make friends! y fight over small trivial matters day and night and we nvr get anithing out of it... the other dog thinks.. true and well said.. life is short.. y make ur life full of animosity and hate..? Alrite friend.. buddy... They shaked paws excitedly and happily.. they hugged each other.. they saw the true meaning of love and care really.. they saw the best of the dogs character.. then the owner throw a bone.. they started fighting again...

Neck

What is the relations of scalenus anterior...?

scalenus anterior has origin from? and is inserted into the anterior border of the first rib?

Anteriorly it is covered by prevertebral fascia and phrenic nerve crosses from the lateral border to the medial border downwards. Anteriorly lies the subclavian vein. In addition the suprascapular artery and the transverse cervical artery crosses anteriorly. Posteriorly lies the subclavian artery together with the brachial plexus.

Shit.. My memory is failing me...

Hmm.. wad abt sternocleidomastoid?

round tendon to sternal notch and muscular head to medial one third of clavicle

inserted into mastoid process and medial one third of superior nuchal line

extend the head and flex the cervix when acting bilaterally and when only one muscle acts, it turns head to face upwrds towrds opposite side..

ok so anteriorly there is the internal carotid artery and just posterior to the anterior border of the sterno is the internal jugular vein. Together with the vagus, the artery and vein are enclosed in the carotid sheath..
posteriorly there is the subclavian vein and at the jn of upper and middle one third of the post border is the superficial cervical nerve.. ok medially is the trachea eso and thyroid

i will fail my pros.. sigh
