Exam 1 Relationships Flashcards
(46 cards)
The hyoid bone has no Bony articulations and is stabilized by:
Via suprohyoid and infra hyoid muscles
Carotid bodes can be found and contain:
Where the common carotid bifurcates (C3) and contain chemoreceptors; Chemoreceptors responds to changes in oxygen tension
Where is the carotid sinus found?
Base of int. carotid artery. Contains baroreceptors which sense pressure changes (BP response)
External carotid is:
More anterior than int. carotid and is outside SCM (Internal is directly under).
Superior thyroid artery parallels:
External laryngeal Nerve
Superior laryngeal artery parallels:
Internal laryngeal nerve; run in thyrohyoid membrane (pierces)
Compared to the post. Digastric and hyoglossus muscle the Lingual artery is:
Deep
What never travels with the lingual N?
Lingual artery
The facial artery is deep to the:
Post. digastric and stylohyoid
The submittal artery lies on:
The mylohyoid, and parallels here to mylohyoid nerve (Branch V3)
The facial artery parallels:
The facial vein. But the vein is more superficial (over submandibular gland)
The ascending pharyngeal artery comes off at:
C3 bifurcation. Lies deep to external carotid
Where does the occipital artery travel to?
Posterior Skull. (Hypoglossal nerve crosses occipital and lies on lingual artery.)
The hypoglossal turns anterior at:
the Occipital artery. It goes under the stylohyoid and posterior belly of digastric, lies on hyoglossus, passes deep to mylohyoid
The carotid sheath contains:
Investing fascia around the common carotid artery (which splits into external and internal), Internal carotid, Jugular vein, CN X (vagus) and lymph nodes
Does the internal jugular vein have a bifurcation?
No.
What makes up the retromandibular vein
Superficial temporal and maxillary vein
Describe the pathway of veins leading to the internal jugular
Anterior retromandibular + facial leads to the common facial which leads to the internal jugular
Posterior retromandibular and the posterior auricular vein make up the
External jugular
Where does the Accessory Cranial Nerve exit?
CN XI exits the jugular foramen with the internal jugular, IX, and X
The carotid is mostly covered by the:
SCM
What two muscles the the Accessory Nerve innervate?
SCM and Trapezius
The Ansa Cervicalis is anterior to:
Internal jugular vein (Lying on top of internal jugular vein)
Superior root of Ansa cervicalis is:
Superior root = C1 ( Thyrohyoid, geniohyoid)
