	Nerve - LoveToKnow 1911
		The optic nerve passes through the optic foramen in the skull into the orbit, where it is penetrated by the central artery of the retina, and eventually pierces the scelerotic just internal to the posterior pole of the eyeball.
		Between the two ganglia the accessory part of the eleventh nerve joins the tenth, and it is from this communication that the motor twigs to the pharynx, larynx, alimentary and respiratory tracts are derived, as well as the inhibitory fibres of the heart.
		The anterior tibial nerve is chiefly muscular, innervating the muscles in front of the tibia and fibula as well as the extensor brevis digitorum pedis on the dorsum of the foot, though it gives one small cutaneous branch to the cleft between the first and second toes.

		The first nerve off the brachial plexus is the dorsal scapular nerve[?], arising from C5 nerve root, and innervating the rhomboids[?] and the levator scapulae[?] muscles.
		The suprascapular nerve[?] is an early branch of the superior trunk.
		The radial nerve, which innervates the triceps brachii[?] muscle, the brachioradialis muscle, the extensor muscles of the fingers and wrist(extensor carpi radialis[?] muscle), and the externsor and abductor muscles of the thumb.

	Suboccipital triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The suboccipital triangle is a region of the neck bounded by the following three muscles:
		The floor is formed by the posterior occipito-atlantal membrane, and the posterior arch of the atlas.
		In the deep groove on the upper surface of the posterior arch of the atlas are the vertebral artery and the first cervical or suboccipital nerve.

	The suboccipital cavernous sinus
		The suboccipital region contains the complex of the vertebral artery (VA), its periarterial autonomic neural plexus, its branches, and the adjacent spinal nerves, all of which are cushioned in a venous compartment.
		The venous structures in the suboccipital region are: (1) the suboccipital venous plexus; (2) the venous compartment cushioning the V
		The C-1 nerve is located in the depth of the superior suboccipital triangle and within the sulcus of the VA of the posterior arch of the atlas, where it divides into anterior and posterior rami.

		The first cervical nerve emerges from the vertebral canal between the occipital bone and the atlas, and is therefore called the suboccipital nerve; the eighth issues between the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebræ.
		The roots of the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerves run vertically downward to their respective exits, and as the medulla spinalis ends near the lower border of the first lumbar vertebra it follows that the length of the successive roots must rapidly increase.
		The dendrites of the multipolar nerve cells form synapses around the cells of type II (cells of Dogiel) in the spinal ganglia, and by this path the original impulse is transferred from the sympathetic to the somatic system, through which it is conveyed to the sensorium.

		SUBOCCIPITAL MUSCLES: Of the 2 straight and 2 oblique suboccipital muscles only the rectus capitis posterior minor does NOT form a boundary of the triangle.
		The primary function of these muscles is to stabilize the atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints though they may assist in extension and rotation.
