Kiesselbach's plexus, which lies in Kiesselbach's area, Kiesselbach's triangle, or Little's area, is a region in the anteroinferior part of the nasal septum where four arteries anastomose to form a vascular plexus of that name. The arteries are:〔Moore, Keith L. et al. (2010) ''Clinically Oriented Anatomy'', 6th Ed, p.959〕 *Anterior ethmoidal artery (from the ophthalmic artery) *Sphenopalatine artery (terminal branch of the maxillary artery) *Greater palatine artery (from the maxillary artery) *Septal branch of the superior labial artery (from the facial artery) ==Significance== Ninety percent of nose bleeds (epistaxis) occur in Little's area, as it is exposed to the drying effect of inspiratory current. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiesselbach's plexus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
