@anatomycoloringbook: 🧠 A buffalo hump, medically called a dorsocervical fat pad, is a buildup of fatty tissue where the back of the neck meets the upper back. “Dorso” refers to the back, and “cervical” refers to the neck. The fat accumulates beneath the skin and above the underlying muscles, creating a rounded fullness. 🔎 The cutaway reveals the location of the fat beneath the skin. The hump is different from kyphosis, which is an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine. One involves fatty tissue; the other involves spinal alignment. Both can occur together. #Anatomy #AnatomyAndPhysiology #BuffaloHump #MedicalEducation #StudyAnatomy
