aksillaarialue

Aksillaarialue, also known as the infraorbital region, is a specific area of the face located below the eye and above the upper lip. It is bounded by the infraorbital rim, which is a bony structure that forms the lower margin of the orbit (eye socket). The aksillaarialue is an important anatomical region due to its proximity to several critical structures, including the infraorbital nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the upper lip and cheek, and the infraorbital artery, a branch of the maxillary artery that supplies blood to the same area.

The infraorbital nerve and artery travel through the infraorbital canal, which runs horizontally through the maxilla (upper jaw bone) and exits through the infraorbital foramen. This foramen is located at the inferior border of the orbit, just below the eye. The aksillaarialue is also home to the infraorbital fat pad, a collection of adipose tissue that helps to cushion and protect the underlying structures.

In clinical settings, the aksillaarialue is often accessed during surgical procedures, such as dental extractions or sinus surgeries, to avoid damaging the infraorbital nerve and artery. It is also a common site for injections, such as those used to administer local anesthetics or corticosteroids. The aksillaarialue plays a crucial role in facial anatomy and function, and its understanding is essential for both medical professionals and dental practitioners.
