    For the sake of clarffing which division of the brachial plexus, anterior or posterior, does the human suprascapular nerve belong to, the suprascapular nerve and cervical nerves concernd were teased into bundles of fibers by the fiber analysis method in six adult human arms of cadavers. The suprascapular nerve received fibers from C4, C5 and C6in two cases which have a communicating branch between C4 and C5, from C5 and C6 in three cases and only from C5in one case. In contrast with the posterior root fibers, the anterior root fibers of C5 and C6 could easily be divided into anterior and posterior groups of bundles which entered the anterior and the posterior divisions of the brachial plexus and were called anterior motor and posterior motor elements respectively. The suprascapular nerve received fibers from the anterior and the posterior motor elements of C5 in all cases. In addition to the C5, the nerve received fibers from both elements of C6 in three cases or from the anterior element of C6 in two cases. From this result the suprascapular nerve is judged to be a nerve which belongs to both anterior and posterior divisions of the brachial plexus.

    This is the first report, to our knowledge, of the full characterization of the musculature of the mouse tail. Bicipital muscles form a major part of the tail musculature. The tail tendons originate with fusiform muscle from the dorsal and ventral lumbo-sacro-coxal regions and are inserted into the coccygeal vertebrae (extrinsic muscles of the tail). Each coccygeal vertebra has short muscles that terminate on the adjacent vertebrae (intrinsic muscles of the tail). The short muscle and its corresponding tail tendon are joined, thereby forming a bicipital muscle that is inserted into the coccygeal process. A geographical correspondence is strictly maintained between the origin of the tendon in the lumbo-sacro-coxal region and the insertion of the bicipital muscle in the coccygeal vertebrae. In other words, the organization of the tail musculature is based upon repetitions of fusion between the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles at each coccygeal vertebral level. This design is referred to as the metameric arrangement of the bicipital musdes. The organization, arrangement and function of muscles in the tail have features in common with those muscles in the digits of the human extremities.

    Microtus montebelli, Tongue, Lingual papillae, SEM Summary: The dorsal lingual surface of Microtus montebelli was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The filiform papillae were distributed over the entire dorsal surface of the tongue. The filiform papillae notably differed in morphology by their location on the tongue and could be classified into 4 types: 1) simple conical papillae,2) true filiform papillae,3) giant conical papillae, and 4) saw-like papillae. The fugiform papillae were present rounded bodies scattered over the anterior dorsal surface of the tongue. A vallate papilla was located at the middle end of the lingual body. The surface of the radix zone was smooth and without lingual papillae.

    We studied somatometric measurements of the head and face in Japanese adolescents. We obtained craniofacial measurements of 164 children (82 males and 82 females, from 12 to 14 years of age) from the junior high school in Ayase City (Kanagawa prefecture). In order to have adult data with which to compare, we measured 56 dental students (28 males and 29 females,20 years of age) from Showa University in Tokyo. We found that head breadth reached adult size at 14 years of age, but, in males, head length increased continuously after 14 years of age. Bizigomatic breadth increased from 12 to 20 years of age. Bigonial breadth had almost completed its growth during adolescence. Face depth grew more slowly than face breadth. From these results, it was clear that craniofacial breadth increased earlier than length. Sexual dimorphism in craniofacial size increased according to age, while sexual difference in the index decreased according to age. A comparison of 3 different generations (40 years ago,20 years ago, and today)showed brachycephalization and secular change of head breadth and facial measurements. These findings were more evident in females than in males.

    Superficial ulnar artery, Axillary artery, Variation, Brachial artery Summary: A rare variation of the ulnar artery is presented on routine anatomical dissection in one male cadaver. The superficial ulnar artery was found to originate from the axillary artery. The free forearm flap is increasingly popular among plastic surgeons. As a result of this case, and a review of the literature to gain further knowledge of anatomical variations, it is advised that more attention should be paid clinically to this artery to prevent its injury.

    An anatomical study was designed to investigate the cervical uncinate processes morphology and their variations. Linear and angular measurements were performed on 145 vertebrae (29 spines) from C3 to C7. The dimensions and variations of the uncinate processes were measured to obtain some morphologic data for an effective neurovacular decompression via the ventral and ventrolateral approaches. Four researchers performed the linear and angular measurements including uncinate process height, width, length, sagittal angle with the superior margin of the vertebral body, inter-uncinate process distance, vertebral body anteroposterior dimeter and width measurements. The data were presented as mean value, standard deviation and range values. These data provide a three-dimensional orientation and anatomical knowledge, and contribute to perform more effective neurovascular decompression with minimizing the surgical complications.

    The radial nerve's course from the axillary region, branch patterns and the relation of the nerve to fixed anatomical landmarks in the arm region were studied in 27 embalmed intact cadavers. The radial nerve and its relation with the sulcus nervus radialis (SNR) was analyzed. The direct contact of the nerve with humerus in SNR was observed during the dissections. The following measurements were made: the total length of the humerus (the palpable uppermost point of the tuberculum majus and the lateral epicondyle); proximal safe zone (the tuberculum majus and the proximal beginning of the SNR); distal safe zone (the intercondylar axis and the middle of SNR); lateral safe zone (the lateral epicondyle and the distal end of SNR).
    In conclusion, it was aimed to correlate the osseus palpable landmarks of humerus with the course of the radial nerve for a safe surgery as the sulcus nervi radialis region is one of the main risky areas for the radial nerve palsies.
