Surgical Anatomy Joseph Maclise

The occipital artery (a. occipitalis) (Fig. 508) arises from the posterior part of the external carotid, opposite the external maxillary, near the lower margin of the posterior belly of the Digastricus, and ends in the posterior part of the scalp.

A small slip from the scapula to the occipital bone close to the minor occasionally occurs, the Rhomboideus occipitalis muscle.

The Occipital Branch (ramus occipitalis) passes backward, over the Sternocleidomastoideus, to the scalp above and behind the ear.

VI. The Arteries. 3a. 2. The External Carotid Artery 1918

The occipital vein (v. occipitalis) begins in a plexus at the back part of the vertex of the skull, From the plexus emerges a single vessel, which pierces the cranial attachment of the Trapezius and, dipping into the suboccipital triangle, joins the deep cervical and vertebral veins.

VII. The Veins. 3b. The Veins of the Head and Neck 1918

The occipital sinus (sinus occipitalis) (Fig. 570) is the smallest of the cranial sinuses.

VII. The Veins. 3b. 5. The Sinuses of the Dura Mater 1918

The medial branch (ramus medialis; internal branch), called from its size and distribution the greater occipital nerve (n. occipitalis major; great occipital nerve), ascends obliquely between the Obliquus inferior and the Semispinalis capitis, and pierces the latter muscle and the Trapezius near their attachments to the occipital bone (Fig. 801).

Having duly inspected the blind, naked, newly-hatched forktails, I went farther down the stream to try to see something of a pair of red-billed blue magpies (_Urocissa occipitalis_).
