CT Scan Head Scanning Diagram

CT head scanning uses X-rays in axial slices, bone windows for skull fractures, soft tissue windows for hemorrhage/infarct/edema. Contrast enhances vessels/tumors; it’s fast for trauma/stroke evaluation.

Overview of Parasympathetic Innervation Diagram

Parasympathetic innervation originates from cranial nerves (III, VII, IX, X) and sacral S2-S4. Preganglionic fibers synapse in terminal ganglia near targets for “rest and digest” functions: pupil constriction, salivation, lacrimation,…
