Anatomy Test #3 lecture #8 Flashcards
Anterior Cervical Triangle
Body of Mandible (top)
Sternocleidomastoid (lateral)
Midline of the Neck (medial)
Infrahyoid muscles
Omohyoid- Sup. Belly
Omohyoid- Inf. Belly
Sternohyoid ( runs vertically with omohyoids, just more medially)
Thyrohyoid (deep)
Sternothyroid (sternum to thyroid cartilage)
head goes forward then it snaps back (car accident)
infra hyoid muscles
bring throat back in after swolling
infrahyoid muscles innervation
Ansa Cervicalis (C1-C3)
Supplies 3 Infrahyoid Muscles
Exception: Thyrohyoid-C1 via the Hypoglossal Nerve
cervical plexus
Ansa Cervicalis (C1-C3) Lesser Occipital N. Greater Auricular N. Transverse Cervical N. Supraclavicular N. Phrenic Nerve (C3-C5)
Supraclavicular N.
general sensation to the area….?
phrenic nerve
“the most important nerve in the body”
mixed nerve supplied by C3, C4, C5
supplies the diaphragm, which does 80-85% of the breathing
visceral structures are covered with
with Pre-Tracheal Fascia
thyroid gland issmus
goes back and forth between the two thyroid lobes
Contents of the Carotid Sheath (Derived from Pre-tracheal Fascia)
Internal Jugular Vein (most lateral)
vagus nerve (CN X) (between and behind)
Common carotid artery (most medial)
kind of make a triangle
which structures are covered with Pre-Tracheal Fascia
-covers thyroid, larynx, IJV, common carotid artery, vagus nerve, lower portion of pharynx, cervical portion of esophagus and Trachea-Cervical Portion
describe the thyroid
thyroid gland is lobulated, has two lateral lobes, and has an issmus between the two
what is the function of the parathyroid gland?
regulate blood calcium
Secretes PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)- tells bones to release calcium back into the blood
if not enough, they contract
ANTERIOR TRIANGLE
mandible (top and base)
midline of neck (medial side)
sternocleidomastoid (lateral side)
Submental Triangle
Ant. Belly of Digastric, Hyoid body (line down middle to make right/left triangles.), then the anterior belly of the digastric forms each side of the triangle.
-Contents: mylohyoid and submental lymph nodes, geniohyoids, external jugular vein
Subdivision of the Anterior Cervical Triangle
Carotid Triangle
SCM, stylohyoid, post. Belly of the digastric, sup. Belly of omohyoid
- Contents: common carotid artery and its bifurcation, internal jugular vein, vagus nerve, carotid sheath, and first 5 branches of the external carotid artery
Subdivision of the Anterior Cervical Triangle
Muscular Triangle
sup. Belly of the omohyoid, SCM, imaginary line down median aspect of neck.
- Infrahyoid muscles, thyroid gland (and parathyroids) with blood supply and venous drainage, cervical portion of the trachea, pre-tracheal fascia
Subdivision of the Anterior Cervical Triangle
Muscular Triangle
sup. Belly of the omohyoid, SCM, imaginary line down median aspect of neck.
- Infrahyoid muscles, thyroid gland (and parathyroids) with blood supply and venous drainage, cervical portion of the trachea, pre-tracheal fascia
Subdivision of the Anterior Cervical Triangle
Contents of the Carotid Sheath : what happens to the common carotid artery here?
Bifurcations of both Common Carotid Arteries (arteries going up)
External Carotid Artery (runs in anterior)
Internal Carotid Artery (runs posterior)
Carotid Sinus
a bulging of the common carotid
Wall contains Baroreceptors
-Baroreceptors monitor BP (blood pressure)
What do the first 5 of 8 External Carotid Artery branches supply: Superior Thyroid Artery Ascending Pharyngeal artery Lingual artery Facial Artery Occipital artery
Superior Thyroid Artery- supplies thyroid gland
Ascending Pharyngeal artery- supplies pharynx/ throat
Lingual artery- supplies tongue
Facial Artery - supplies face
Occipital artery - supplies back of your head
does internal carotid artery have any branches in neck?
no
Right subclavian artery comes from
From: Brachiocephalic Trunk (BCT)
left subclavian artery comes from
From: Aortic Arch.
