Question
Answer
3 different compartments of the neck and their associated Cervical Fascia   1.Vertberal: Prevertebral fa.(surrounds vertebral column and associated muscles). 2.Visceral: Pretracheal fa.(surrounds thyroid, parathyroid, trachea, esophagus). 3.Vascular: Alar fa.(Common/Internal carotid A, Int Jugular V, Vagus N)**Carotid Sheath  
🗑
Investing fascia   most superficial, associated closely with platysma m.  
🗑
Retropharyngeal space   Located between the posterior Pretracheal fascia and the anterior Prevertebral fascia. Buccopharyngeal fascia is found here. Allows movement of visceral comp. on top of vertebral comp. **Allows spread of infection to superior mediastinum.  
🗑
Location of structures in Carotid Sheath   Medial: Common Carotid A. (int carotid A superiorly) Lateral: Internal jugular V. Posterior: Vagus N.  
🗑
Ansa Cervicalis is embedded in what fascia?   Anterolateral Carotid Sheath/Alar Fascia  
🗑
Carotid Sinus   Dilation of proximal part of internal carotid A. Innervated by CN IX and CN X. **Important Barroreceptor for BP regulation.  
🗑
Carotid Body   Ovoid mass locatde deep to bifrication of Common Carotid A. Innervated by CN IX and X. **Important Chemoreceptor for BL pH (Increase or decrease respiration to avoid acidosis or alkanosis).  
🗑
Infrahyoid muscles   inferior to hyoid, involved in swallowing via depression of the hyoid bone.  
🗑
Suprahyoid muscles   Superior to hyoid, involved in swallowing and speech via elevating the hyoid bone.  
🗑
Muscles of the vertebral compartment(posterior to visceral compartment)   Surrounded by Prevertebral fascia. 1.Longus Capitis (O: occipital bone). 2.Longus Colli (O: C1 anterior tubercle). 3. Rectus Capitis Anerior (O: ant. to occipital condyle). 4.Rectus Capitis Lateralis (O: jugular process of occipital bone). 5.Scalenes  
🗑
Scalene Interval   Between Ant. and Middle Scalene. Both the brachial plexus and subclavian A exit here. **they are slightly more protected  
🗑
Important structures Anterior to Anterior Scalene   1.Phrenic N. 2.Suprascapular A. 3.Transverse Cervical A. 4.Subclavian V. **Makes them prone to injury  
🗑
Parts of the Subclavian A.   1st: medial to Ant. scalene. 2nd: posterior to Ant.scalene. (Costocervical Trunk branches off) 3rd: lateral to Ant. Scalene  
🗑
Branches from 1st part (medial) of Subclavian A.   1.Vertebral A. 2.Thyrocervical Trunk. 3.Internal Thoracic A.  
🗑
Branches from 3rd part (lateral) of Subclavian A.   1.Transverse cervical A. 2.Suprascapular A. (if it doesn't come off thyrocervical trunk).  
🗑
Does the internal Carotid Artery branch in the neck?   NO! C'mon man  
🗑
Posterior Branches off the External Carotid A. (in order)   1.Ascending Pharyngeal A.(More medial than posterior) 2.Occipital A. 3.Posterior Auricular A (last preterminal Branch off ECA).  
🗑
Anterior Branches off External Carotid A. (in order)   1.Superior Thyroid A (first branch off ECA). 2.Lingual A.(just superior to Sup. Thy. A). 3.Facial A. (either in common ith Lingual A or immediately superior).  
🗑
Terminal Branches of External Carotid A   1.Maxillary A (originates within the parotid gland, moves anteriorly deep to condylar neck of mandible to reach infratemporal fossa). 2.Superficial Temporal A (gives off a transverse facial A and then passes anteriorly to ext. auditory meatus).  
🗑
Some Aggressive Lovers Find Odd Positions More Stimulating   Branching pattern of ECA: SThyA, APA, LA, FA,OA,PAA, MA, STempA  
🗑
Anterior Veins of neck (Anterior to Sternocleidomastoid)   1.Ext Jugular V. (Angle of mandible to subclavian V) 2.Communticating V (connects Ext Jugular to Ant Jugular vein). 3.Anterior Jugular V (anterior midline of neck, moves laterally at clavicle deep to SCM to empty into Ext Jugular V).  
🗑
Posterior fibers of cervical plexus   Sensory nerves: Lesser occipital (C2, ascends up occipital bone), Greater Auricular (C2-3, ascends up to ear), Transverse cervical (C2-3, transversely across neck), Supraclavicular (C3-4, descend and run superior to clavicle).  
🗑
Erb's Point (Punctum Nervosum)   Location where the nerves are exiting the neck, Would case severe pain if hit here.  
🗑
Anterior Rami of Cervical Plexus   Motor Nerves. The Phrenic N (C3-5), Ansa Cervicalis (C1-4).  
🗑
Loops of Ansa Cervicalis   Superior C1-2: innervates Geniohyoid and Thyrohyoid muscles.**Also gets fibers from CNXII. Inferior: C3-4 innervates infrahyoid muscles  
🗑
Posterior cervical region   Contains Trapezius m., cutaneous branches of posterior rami, suboccipital triangle (Deep)  
🗑
Sternocleidomastoid region   Contains SCM m., Ext Jugular V, Greater Auricular N, Transverse cervical N.  
🗑
Posterior Triangle (Lateral Cervical region)   Boundaries: SCM, Trapezius, clavicle. Can be divided into: Occipital triangle and subclavian triangle.  
🗑
Contents of Occipital triangle   1.Spinal accessory n. 2.Erb's point (cervical plexus). 3.Trunks of brachial plexus. 4.Transverse cervical A (off the 3rd/lateral part of subclavian).  
🗑
Contents of Subclavian Triangle   1. Ext jugular V. 2. Occipital A. (posterior branch of EJV). 3. Subclavian A and V (3rd/lateral part)  
🗑
Anterior Triangle   Boundaries: Median line of neck, SCM, mandible. Can be divided into: Submental, Submandibular, carotid, and muscular triangles  
🗑
Contents of Submental Triangle   submental lymph nodes, Anterior jugular v, Mylohyoid muscle.  
🗑
Contents of Submandibular Triangle   1.submandibular gland. 2.Mylohyoid M. 3.Hypoglossus M. 4.Middle Pharyngeal constrictor M. 5.Hypoglossal N. 6.N to mylohyoid. 7.Facial A and V. 8.Submental A.  
🗑
Contenst of Carotid Triangle   Carotid sheath, Ansa Cervicalis, Deep cervical lymph nodes. **Bifrication of common carotid as most of the branches of the External Carotid A.  
🗑
