NECK Flashcards

Posterior Triangle
- Bounded by
- posterior border: SCM
- anterior: Trapezius
- superior: clavicle
- roof: platysma and the inersiting layer of the deep cervical fascia
- Floor: Splenius capitis and levator scapulae muscles anterior, middle and posterior scalene muscle
The posterio triangle contains the ________
- accessory nerve
- cutaneous branches of the cervical plexus
- External jugular vein
- transverse cervical and suprascapular vessels
- subclavian vein (occasionally) and artery
- posterior (inferior) belly og the omohyoid, and roots and trunks of the brachial plexus
The posterior traingle is further divided into _______by the omohoyoid posterior belly
- Occipital
- subclavian (supraclavicular or omoclavicular)
Anteriot triangle
- Bounded by
- anterior borfer of the SCM
- anterior midline of the neck\
- inferior border of the mandible
- Roof: Platysma and the investing layer of the deep cervical fascia
The anterior border is further divided by the omohyoid anterior belly and the digastic anterior and posterior bellies into ______________
- Digastric (submandibular)
- Submental (suprahyoid)
- carotid
- muscular (inferior carotid) triangles
spasmodic contraction or shortening of the neck muscle, producing twisting of the neck with the chin pointing upward and to the opposite side
Torticollis (wryneck)
- due to injury of the SCM muscle or avulsion of the accessory nerve at the time of borth and unilateral fibrosis in the muscle)
U shaped bone consisting of a median body, paired lesser horns (cornua) laterally, and paired greater horns posteriorly
Hyoid bone
The ____ of the hyoid bone provides attachment for the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, omohyoid, and sternohyoid muscles
Body
The greater horn provides attachment for the ________
- Middle cosntrictor
- hyologlossus
- digastric (anterior and posterior) bellies
- stylohyoid
- thyrohyoid
The lesser horn provides attachment for the _________
- stylohyoid ligament
- Runs from the styloid process to the lesser horn of the hyoid bone
Is a slender projection of variable length and extends downward and forward from the temporal bone
Styloid Process
The styloid process gives origin to 3 muscles __________ and 2 ligaments _______
- stylohyoid
- styloglossus
- stylopharyngeus
- stylohyoid Ligaments
- stylomandibular ligaments
Elongation of the styloid process or excessive calcification of the styloid process or stylohyoid ligament that causes neck, throat, or facial pain and dysphagia
Eagle’s syndrome
- may occur due to compression of the glossopharyngeal nerve, which winds around the styloid process or stylohyoid ligament as it descends to supply the tongue, pharynx, and neck
- Can also be caused by pressure on the internal and external carotid arteries by a deviated and elongated styloid process
Accessory nerve
- formed by the union of cranial and spinal roots
-
Cranial roots
- from medulla oblongata below the roots of the vagus
-
Spinal Roots
- from the lateral aspect of the cervical segment of the spinal cord between C1 and C3 (or C1 and C7)
- unites to form a trunk that ascends between the dorsal and ventral roots
The accessory nerves has both ______ and _____ portions, which traverse the jugular foramen, where they interchange fibers.
- Cranial Portion
- motor fibers that join the vagus nerve
- innervate
- soft palate
- pharyngeal constrictors
- larynx
- Spinal portion
- innervates the
- SCM
- Trapezius
- innervates the
