This document summarizes the anatomy of the head and cervical region of goats. It describes the key bones that make up the skull, including the cranium and facial parts. It outlines the paranasal sinuses and lists the main ones found in goats. The document also discusses the horns, superficial veins, facial nerves, muscles, brain, eyes, and the seven cervical vertebrae that make up the neck region in goats.

1. ANATOMY OF HEAD AND
CERVICAL REGION OF
GOAT

2. Head & Skull
• Head is basic and most anterior part of body.
• It has very a great importance in the body.
• Many important organs are found in this
region.
• For example brain,eyes,nose,ears,mouth etc
• Skull is the basic framework of face it has to
parts :
• Cranium part
• Facial part

3. Cranium
• It is brain case
• Brain is found in it
Bones of cranium
Frontal
Parietal
Sphenoid
Temporal
Ethmoid
Occipital

4. Facial part
• The part of skull which makes the face is
called facial part
• It has maxilla, pre maxilla, lacrimal, nasal,
Vomar, mandible , palatine & hyoid bones.

5. The paranasal Sinuses of the goat
These are not solid
bones
Completed by
membranes
Developed by nasal
mucosa in spongy
bones.
Here is the list of
paranasal sinuses in
goat.
• Maxillary Frontal
• Lacrimal Caudal
• Palatine Rostral
• Conchal Medial
• Dorsal Intermediate
• Ventral Lateral
• Sphenoid
• Ethmoid cells
• Middle conchal sinus

6. HORNS
• The horns project from
the caudolateral angle of
the frontal bone in both
sexes, (except for
hornless breeds.)
• have only a knob-like
thickening of the bone.
• Round and tapering.
• conically to a small apex.
• specific, but is also quite
variable individually.

7. SUPERFICIAL VEINS
 Basic veins
 External jugular
 Linguo facial
 Lingual
 Sublingual
 Facial
 Nasal

9. FACIAL NERVES
Auricular
 Internal auricular
Vagus
Auriculopalpebral
Dorsal buccal branch
 Auriculotemporal
 ventral buccal

11. FACIAL MUSCLES
Lip and cheek muscles, the muscles of the eyelids
and nose, and ear muscles.
• Levator nasolabialis from the frontal bone
• Labii superioris around the infraorbital foramen
• Masseter in molar region
• Zygomaticus
• Orbicularis oris around the lips
• Buccinator forms cheek.
• Labii inferioris forms lower lip

13. BRAIN
• Brain is the upper portion of
head.
• It is enclosed in the
cranium(upper part of skull)
• It is center to control the all
functions of body.
• Brain is divided into two
hemi sphere.
• There is no direct blood
supply to brain

14. Eyes
• Two eyes are present on
lateral sides of face.
• Eyes have sensors which
are sensitive to light.
• Ciliary artery supplies the
blood to the eye.
• Optic nerve originates
behind the eye and
connects them with brain.

15. Cervical region
• After the skull, the 1st part of vertebral
column is called as cervical region.
• In the case of goat there are 7 vertebrae in
neck region.

16. • 1st is known as axis . It
is directly connected
with the skull.
• 2nd is called atlas and
its dense is attached
with the caudal
surface of axis

17. • 3rd ,4th & 5th are
same in shape and
called as typical
vertebrae.
• 6th and 7th are a bit
long and different in
shape
