The trochlear nerve nuclei are located ventral to the mesencephalic aqueduct. |
A capsulotomy was performed and the patella was dislocated laterally to expose the articular surface of the trochlear groove. |
The coronoid process is the anterior protrusion which forms part of the border for the trochlear notch. |
Each trochlear nerve makes its exit through the caudal tectum, immediately lateral to the frenulum of the superior medullary velum. |
The exceptions are the superior oblique, which is enervated by the trochlear nerve, and the lateral rectus, which is enervated by the abducens. |
No significant difference in total mean chondrocyte density between trochlear, patellar, tibial, and femoral condyles was observed. |
