Vagus nerve CN X (all viscera) Spinal accessory nerve CN XI Hypoglossal nerve XII Cervical sympathetic trunk (chain) behind sheath NOT inside it
29
What are the important branches of the vagus nerve?
``` Superior laryngeal (sensory only) - internal laryngeal and external laryngeal ``` Recurrent laryngeal - right (sensory only) and left
30
What do the right and left recurrent laryngeal nerves do?
Right- loops around subclavian artery in tracheoesophageal groove motor innervation to all msucles of vocalization EXCEPT cricothyroid Left- wraps around the arch of the aorta
31
What nerve supplies all sympathetic innervation in the head?
Superior C1-C4 cervical sympathetic ganglia Middle (C5-C6) Inferior (C7-C8)
32
What is Horner's syndrome?
Result of interruption of the sympathetic chain in the neck Ptosis of affected eyelid, miosis of the affected pupil, andhydrosis on affected side, redding of the skin of the face on affected side
33
What are the boundaries of the superior thoracic aperture?
Posterior: first thoracic vertebra Laterally: first ribs Anteriorly: superior aspect of the sternum, (manubrum)
34
What is in the superior thoracic aperture?
``` apices of left and right lungs with pleurual coerings subclavian arteries and veins vagus nerve phrenic nerve sympathetic chain recurrent laryngeal n thoracic duct common carotid arteries ```
35
what are the branches of the subclavian?
Related to anterior scalene 1st- medial to AS 2nd- posterior to AS 3rd- lateral to AS turns into axillary artery after crossing first rib

37
Where do lymphatics of the face and head drain?
Pericervical lymphatic collar - occipital nodes - postauricular nodes - preauricular nodes - buccal nodes - submandibular nodes - submental nodes Eventually drain into deep cervical lymph nodes empty into thoracic duct on the left and lymphatic duct on the right
38
Where do lymphatics of the face and head drain?
Pericervical lymphatic collar - occipital nodes - postauricular nodes - preauricular nodes - buccal nodes - submandibular nodes - submental nodes Eventually drain into deep cervical lymph nodes empty into thoracic duct on the left and lymphatic duct on the right
39
What is the thoracic duct?
Located on LEFT side only receives drainage from entire body EXCEPT right head and neck, right upper extremity, right thorax enters neck through superior thoracic aperture drains where left subclavian vein meets left internal jugular vein
40
What is the right lymphathic duct?
drainage for right head and neck, right upper extremity, right thorax empties into right internal jugular or right subclavian vein
41
Are the lungs in the neck?
Yes! extend 1 inch above medial third of the clavicle pleura is membranous covering of lung cervical pleura = cupula
42
Describe the structure of the thyroid
right and left lobe midline isthmus sometimes pyramidal lobe can be a small triangle gland tissue coming out of isthmus touches inferior larynx and superior trachea anterolaterally
43
Where did the pyramidal lobe come from?
remnant of embryological thyroglossal duct if muscle fibers there called levator glandulae thyroidea
44
What supplies blood to the thyroid?
superior and inferior thyroid artries
45
What innervates the thyoid gland?
Sympathetics= middle cervical ganglion | Parasympathetics- laryngeal branches of the vagus nerve
46
How many parathyroid glands are there?
2 pairs of 4 2 on each side in posterior aspect of thyroid gland small and darker
47
What does the parathyroid gland secrete?
parathyroid hormone- helps control calcium and phosphorous, bone growth and metabolism calcium- most important without PTH the nervous and muscular systems could not function properly
48
What are the anterior group of prevertebral muscles?
anterior group - longus coli - longus capitis - recrus capitis anterior - anterior scalene
49
What are the lateral group of prevertebral muscles?
Lateral group - rectus capitis lateralis - splenius capitis - levator scapulae - middle and posterior scalenes
50
Where are the prevertebral muslces located?
deep to prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia | directly posterior to the retropharyngeal space
51
How many parathyroid glands are there?
2 pairs of 4 superior and inferior 2 on each side in posterior aspect of thyroid gland small and darker
