carotid triangle contains deep cervical blank
lymph nodes
58
borders of carotid triangle
digastric posterior belly, scm, omohyoid
59
external carotid artery terminates into these two
maxillary, superficial temporal
60
four muscular triangle muscles (strap muscles)
omohyoid, sternothyroid, sternohyoid, thyrohyoid (C1 only)
61
two viscera glands of muscular triangle

64
four suprahyoid muscles
mylohyoid, geniohyoid, stylohyoid, digastric
65
lesions of spinal accessory nerve are blank
uncommon
66
spinal accessory nerve damage usually presents with weakness in turning head to blank against blank
opposite side, resistance
67
blank shoulders and inability to elevate/ retract shoulders are characteristic of spinal accessory nerve lesion
drooping
68
suprascapular nerve is vulnerable to injury in fractures of the middle third of the blank
