Studying oral anatomy for the exam I'll take in September. Being here in my University city during Summer break, even if for a few days, is very sad and stressful ... but with the background of summer traffic down the street and Netherlands vs England to keep me company, the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little more homely :)

Muscles And Fasciae Of The Palatal Region
Levator palati
long, thick, round
on the outside of the posterior nares
starts at the top of the temporal bone and inside of cartilage part of Eustachian tube
after Superior constrictor, goes down and in and blends at middle line of soft palate
Circumflexus/Tensor palati
broad, thin
outside Levator palati
has vertical and horizontal part
vertical part comes from scaphoid fossa at the bottom of the internal pterygoid plate
comes down between internal pterygoid plate and internal pterygoid muscle
becomes a tendon and anchors around the hamular process
horizontal part passes inward into the palatine aponeurosis and horizontal part of the palate bone
Palatine Aponeurosis
supports muscles and soft palate
thicker at the top than at the bottom
at the sides merges with the pharyngeal aponeurosis
Azygos uvulae
pair of narrow, cylindrical fasciculi
each one comes from posterior nasal spine of palate bone
Palato-glossus (Constrictor isthmi faucium)
small fasciculus that narrows in the middle
forms anterior pillar of soft palate along with the surface mucous membrane
comes from the back of the soft palate on each side of the uvula
goes into side of the tongue
some fibres go into the dorsum, others to the Transversus linguae
Palato-pharyngeus
long and narrow in the middle
separates by the palato-glossus by the tonsil
comes from an expanded fasciculus by the soft palate that divides in two by the Levator palati and the Azygos uvulae
out and down behind the tonsil it connects to the Stylo-pharangeus
Salpingo-pharangeus
comes from Eustachian tube near its opening
goes down and merges with the pack of the Palato-pharyngeus

I made this compass to describe discrimination received from medical people to their patients. Note how the further the condition is in one direction, the more problematic I think it is. Also, this is my opinion and I take constructive criticism <3

Blast from the Past: Human Anatomy
Genuinely, there’s not another subject I loved more than anatomy. Anatomy is my love, my language, my life.
It also helped me realize that I’m not cut out for surgery. Nothing more humbling than being unable to identify the pancreas during a lab assessment and the professor saying “I would never let you perform surgery on me. Why are you taking everything out?!”
TW for content below the cut: animal models and real depictions of anatomy dissections
Model species: Felis catus
Skinning
Muscular System — Deep and Superficial
Gross Anatomy
Nervous System — Brain
Model species: Ovis aries
Cardiovascular System — Heart
