Branches of the External Carotid Artery and Maxillary Artery

Here are the main branches of the external carotid artery and where they generally supply. I’m trying to think of these in light of the bigger picture. All the obscure little branches will come. Here are the 3 main branches of the maxillary artery and some of the small branches that come off them. Knowing

Facial and Cranial Bones

Superior Mesenteric Lymph Nodes

Again with lymph nodes, think about organs are receiving blood from the artery that the lymph nodes are surrounding. So, in this case, what does the superior mesenteric artery supply?      (see drawing for answer) So the superior mesenteric (SM) lymph nodes have 2 sets. The first set sits right around the pancreas. They’re

Celiac Lymph Nodes: Related Organs and other Relationships

So, I decided to look at each group of lymph nodes separately in the abdomen. Look at what arteries they are associated with and what organs those arteries are associated with in order to figure out the flow of lymph. This way the abdomen is a little less overwhelming and hopefully making these relationships will

Rotator cuff muscles + random other drawings

So I’m a very visual learner. If you are too, even if you’re not per se, I would give drawing out structures a shot. I think it helps solidify relationships between various things (i.e., the big picture)
