Flashcards in Neck: Root of the Neck Deck (38)
Loading flashcards...
1
boundaries of root of neck
body of T1 anterior surface
head and neck of first rib
body first rib
distal portion first rib, articulation of first rib with manubrium
sternoclavicular articulation is included in definition of root of neck
2
attachments of anterior scalene
O: anterior tubercles of transverse processes CV3-6
I: scalene tubercle first rib
3
action of anterior scalene
elevate first rib
side bends and rotates cervical column to opposite side
both sides - flex vertebral column
4
innervation of anterior scalene
ventral rami, spinal nerves C5-7
5
attachments of middle scalene
O: posterior tubercles of transverse processes of CV2-7
I: superior surface of first rib posterior to groove for subclavian artery
6
action of middle scalene
elevates first rib
side bends and rotates cervical column
both sides - flexes vertebral column
7
innervation of middle scalene
ventral rami C3-8
8
scalene triangle
passage of brachial plexus and subclavian artery
between anterior and middle scalenes
compression can occur during tonic contraction of in presence of cervicla rib
thoracic outlet syndrome
9
thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms
pain
numbness and tingling in neck, medial forearm, and digits 4 and 5
paresis of intrinsic muscles of hand
poor circulation - cold hands
10
brachial plexus nerve block
anesthetic agent around supraclavicular portion of brachial plexus
11
attachments of posterior scalene
O: posterior tubercles of transverse process CV5-7
I: outer surface of second rib
may be fused with middle scalene
12
action of posterior scalene
elevates second rib
side bends and rotates cervical column
both sides - flexes vertebral column
13
innervation of posterior scalene
ventral rami - brachial plexus C7-8
14
attachments of longus capitis
O: anterior tubercles of transverse processes of CV3 -6
I: inferior surface, basilar portion of occipital bone
15
action of longus capitis
flexes head and neck
16
innervation of longus colli
O and I:
upper portion extends from anterior surface of vertebral bodies above to transverse processes of vertebrae below
lower portion extends from anterior surfaces of vertebral bodies below to transverse processes of vertebrae above
17
action of longus colli
flexes neck and assists in its rotation
upper fibers rotate same side
lower fibers rotate opposite side
18
innervation of longus colli
ventral rami - spinal nerves C2-7
19
right brachiocephalic artery
bifurcates posterior to SC joint into right subclavian and common carotid artery
20
left aorta
common carotid and subclavian artery arise directly from aorta
21
three parts of subclavian artery
1 - medial to anterior scalene
2 - behind anterior scalene
3 - lateral to anterior scalene
22
part 1 of subclavian artery
vertebral artery
thyrocervical trunk
internal thoracic artery
23
vertebral artery
enters transverse cervical foramen of CV6
goes posterior over atlas
pierces AO membrane
ascends through foramen magnum where it fuses with opposite counterpart
24
branches of thyrocervical trunk
inferior thyroid artery
transverse cervical artery
suprascapular artery
ascending cervical artery
25
It'S TC-AC
inferior thyroid
suprascapular
transverse cervical
ascending cervical
arterial branches of thyrocervical trunk
26
inferior thyroid artery
branches from thyrocervical trunk medially to ascend medial border of anterior scalene
passes behind carotid sheath and sympathetic trunk at level of thyroid cartilage
branches to pharynx larynx trachea and esophagus
glandular branches to inferior thyroid
**anastomose with posterior branch of superior thyroid artery
27
transverse cervical artery
branches from thyrocervical trunk laterally
crosses posterior triangle by passing deep to trapezius muscle which it supplies
28
suprascapular artery
branches from thyrocervical trunk laterally just inferior to origin of transverse cervical artery
crosses posterior triangle inferiorly deep to inferior belly of omohyoid
joined by suprascapular nerve as it passes out of posterior triangle laterally to scapular region
29
ascending cervical artery
possible branch of thyrocervical trunk
-often from inferior thyroid artery
ascends anterior scalene medial to phrenic nerve to provide muscular and spinal branches
