Q

Anterior cervical triangle contents: muscles

A
  • platysma
  • digastric (ant: V3; post: CN VII)
  • stylohyoid (CN VII)
  • suprahyoid muscles
  • infrahyoid muscles
20
Q

Suprahyoid muscles (2)

A
  • mylohyoid (V3)

- geniohyoid (C1 via hypoglossal nerve)

21
Q

Infrahyoid muscles/ “strap muscles” (4)

A
  • superior belly of omohyoid
  • sternohyoid
  • sternothyroid
  • thyrohyoid
22
Q

What is the significance of the digastric and the superior bellow of omohyoid?

A

divide the anterior cervical triangle into 4 triangles

  • muscular
  • carotid
  • submandibular
  • submental
23
Q

What are the infrahyoid muscles innervated by?

A
  • mostly motor branches from ansa cervicalis (C1-C3)

- exception: thyrohyoid is innervated by C1 over hypoglossal nerve

24
Q

Anterior cervical triangle contents: visceral structures

A
  • larynx and its various cartilages and muscles
  • thyroid gland
  • parathyroid gland
  • cervical portion of trachea
25
Parathyroid gland secretes...
hormones to bring up calcium levels in the blood
26
Anterior cervical triangle: submandibular triangle borders (and contents)
- anterior/posterior bellies of digastric - stylohyoid - body of mandible - (submandibular glands) - (facial artery)
27
Anterior cervical triangle: submental triangle borders (and contents)
- anterior belly of digastric | - hyoid body: line drawn down middle to make right/left triangles
28
Anterior cervical triangle: carotid triangle borders (and contents)
- sternocleidomastoid - stylohyoid - belly of digastric - superior belly of omohyoid - (omohyoid)
29
Anterior cervical triangle: muscular triangle borders (and contents)
- superior belly of omohyoid - sternocleidomastoid - imaginary line down median aspect of neck - (infrahyoid muscles)
30
Two salivary glands and their drainage structures
- parotid gland via parotid ducts (Stenson) | - submandibular gland via submandibular duct
31
Location of submandibular gland
IN the submandibular triangle
32
Location of parotid gland
PARTIALLY in carotid and submandibular triangles, and overlies lateral side of mandible
33
Contents of carotid sheath
- common carotid artery (medial position) - internal jugular vein (lateral position) - vagus nerve (posterior position)
34
What two branches form the common carotid artery?
- brachiocephalic artery (on RIGHT) | - aortic arch (on LEFT)
35
Internal jugular vein
- drains contents of cranial cavity | - terminates (w/ subclavian vein) to form brachiocephalic vein on both sides
36
Anterior jugular veins
- forms several small veins around chin - descend in muscular triangle - turn posteriorly and terminate in external jugular vein
37
Ascending, which two arteries branch off of the common carotid artery?
- internal carotid artery | - external carotid artery
38
Where does the common carotid artery branch into internal/external carotid arteries?
superior level of thyroid cartilage (at about C4)
39
Internal carotid artery supplies...
anterior circulation to the brain
40
External carotid artery path
up side of skull (not in it) --> runs deep to mandible
41
External carotid artery, through its branches, supply...
- thyroid gland - tongue - side of face and head
42
External carotid artery: anterior aspect branches
- superior thyroid artery (thyroid gland) - lingual artery (tongue) - facial artery (external face)
43
External carotid artery: posterior aspect branches
- occipital artery (back of head) | - posterior auricular artery (behind the ear)
44
External carotid artery: medial aspect branch
ascending pharyngeal artery (pharyngeal wall) | - note: 1st branch of external carotid artery
45
External carotid artery: terminal aspect branches
- superficial temporal artery (terminal branch; temporal area) - maxillary artery (terminal branch; gives rise to only branch that enters skull - middle meningeal artery - via infra temporal fossa)
