Insertion abnormality of bilateral pectoralis minimus.

Bilateral insertion abnormality of pectoralis minimus (sterno-costo-coracoidian muscle) muscle was examined. The variant muscle was lying under the pectoralis major muscle and was medial to the pectoralis minor muscle. This muscle started from the first costal cartilage to the manubrium sterni and ended in the upper surface of the shoulder joint on the right side.

Various types of suprameatal spines and depressions in the human temporal bone.

Since it covers the lateral wall of the mastoid air system, the suprameatal triangle is of importance to otologic surgeons during mastoidectomy. Because of this clinical importance, topographic anatomy of the suprameatal spine and depression was studied on Anatolian skulls. In all, 363 male and 231 female skulls were studied.

An examination of the relationship between foot length, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 (toe lengths), ankle circumference and calf circumference of Turkish University students aged between 17 and 25.

In this study, the relationship, between Foot Length, Toe Lengths, Ankle Circumference and Calf Circumference of the students aged 17-25 was examined. When looked at the correlation coefficients, a significant relationship between Foot Length, Ankle Circumference, Calf Circumference and T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 (Toe Lengths) was discovered (p < 0.05).

The incidence and localization of mastoid foramen and superficial parietomastoid canal and their relations with each other.

Mastoid foramen and some superficial bony canal on the outer surface of the mastoid region are of importance not only as an epigenetic variation but because of the vessels passing through it as well. On the other hand such a canal structure has not been described in classical anatomy textbooks. In this study, the presence, localization and number of both mastoid foramen and superficial bony canal and their relations with each other were studied in 358 male, 228 female, a total of 586 dry Anatolian skulls.

Frequency and classification of bony projections on the lower border of superior orbital fissure.

At the lower border of superior orbital fissure, at the junction of broad medial and narrow lateral portions of the greater wing of sphenoid bone, a bony projection (lateral rectus spine) occurs onto which the lateral rectus muscle and common tendinous ring attach. Such a bony projection has a special clinical significance not only because of its relationship with the contents of superior orbital fissure, but also because it is an attachment point for dura mater. In this study 286 males and 181 females, a total of 467 Anatolian dry skulls in which all the orbits were intact were examined.

An examination of the relationship between foot length, foot breath, ball girth, height and weight of Turkish university students aged between 17 and 25.

In this study the relationship between foot length, foot breadth, ball girth or foot circumference, height and weight of Turkish students aged between 17 and 25 was examined. It was noted that in both sexes the correlation between foot length and height was more significant than the correlation between foot length and weight. When the percentage ratio of foot breadth and ball girth to foot length is calculated in both sexes, the percentage ratio in students with longer feet turned out to be smaller.

A variant of superficial ulnar artery.

An abnormally superficial course of the ulnar a. in the arm and forearm has long received the attention of anatomists and surgeons. In this study, such a case is reported and its importance from the viewpoint of reconstructive surgery stressed.

Structural variations in the jugular foramen of the human skull.

The jugular foramen was examined in 300 Anatolian skulls from the 17th and 18th centuries. In 61.6% the foramen was larger on the right and in 26% on the left, with the remainder being of almost equal size.
