THE HEAD AND NECK The head and neck region is an amalgam of components of all of the systems of the body. It is a relatively small region in relation to the amount of time given over to it in any anatomy course but that is largely due to the fact the structures within the region are small. The basic principles which have helped you to appreciate the anatomy of the other regions of the body apply equally to the head and neck (eg‚ muscles which cross a joint will act on that joint‚ etc)

understand how blood is transported throughout the body‚ let’s examine three important factors influencing how blood circulates through the cardiovascular system: blood flow‚ blood pressure‚ and peripheral resistance. Blood flow is the amount of blood moving through a body area or the entire cardiovascular system in a given amount of time. While total blood flow i s determined by cardiac output (the amount of blood the heart is able to pump per minute)‚ blood flow to specific body
