deep to external jugular v
deep to platysma it splits into superior and inferior
skin and subcut of anterior triangle from mandible to sternum

68

medial supraclavicular- skin at base of neck, upper sternum and sternoclavicular joint
intermediate “”- skin over pectoralis major to third rib
lateral “”- prominence of shoulder

70
Q

what type of nerve block is given for surgeries of neck

what is dangerous about this

A

cervical nerve block

(also paralyzes diaphragm on ipsi side) because phrenic is C3-5

71
Q

what are the superficial cervical lymph nodes, where do they drain to

A

submental, submandibular, external jugular and anterior jugular
drain to deep cervical lymph nodes that parallel internal jugular v
