Head and neck anatomy the respiratory airway (trachea) open. Head and neck anatomy This article describes the anatomy of the head and neck of the human body, including the brain, bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, glands, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, and throat. The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas). The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into:
Group actions in computational anatomy model of human anatomy in computational anatomy is a Groups and group action, a classic formulation from differential geometry. The orbit is called the space of shapes and forms. The space of shapes are denoted formula_1, with the group formula_2 with law of composition formula_3; the action of the group on shapes is denoted formula_4, where the action of the group formula_5 is defined to satisfy The orbit formula_7 of the template becomes the space of all shapes, formula_8. The central group in CA defined on volumes in formula_9 are the diffeomorphism group formula_10 which are mappings with 3-components formula_11,
