(212 cards)
Layers of the neck ( superficial to deep)
1.superficial fascia
2. investing ( superficial) layer
3. Muscular pretrachel layer
4. Visceral pretrachel layer
5. Carotid Sheath
6. Prevertebral layer
Investing layer

Pretrachel Layer ( visceral) encloses
thyroid gland, trachea, and esophagus
