Head and neck anatomy. Computer artwork of a human head and neck with the overlying tissues removed to show the brain (pink) within a sectioned skull


Head and neck anatomy. Computer artwork of a human head and neck with the overlying tissues removed to show the brain (pink) within a sectioned skull that includes the teeth (white) of the jaws, and numerous cranial and cervical nerves (yellow), including the cervical section of the spinal cord. Also shown are arteries (red) and veins (blue), including the large jugular and carotid blood vessels of the neck. Brain structures include the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. Within the sectioned skull is the nasal cavity and the frontal sinus (in the forehead). Some jaw and ear bones are in semi-transparent outline.
