Superficial Neck Flashcards
(41 cards)
bones and carilage of the neck

From what pharyngeal arches do the lesser and greater cornu of hyoid come from?
lesser - second and greater - 3rd
Surface anatomy of the neck (labeled)

Label a, b, c, d

a: sternocleidomastoid
b: posterior cervical region
c: lateral cervical/posterior triangle
d: anterior cervical/anterior triangle
muscles of the neck and inn (labeled)

Functions of the SCM

Torticollis
2 type: 1. Fibromatosis - fibrous tissue accumulates in the muscle; most common in neonates
- muscular torticollis = “wry neck;” can be congenital - infants; birth trauma - infants; muscular or nerve injury
Fascial layers of the neck
make the neck complex; 5 compartments: superficial, investing, pretracheal, prevertebral, and alar fascia/carotid sheath

Superficial veins of the neck (know all the ones in bold*)

Cutaneous cervical branches in superficial neck

Nerves deep to investing fascia (labeled)
- accessory 2. dorsal scapular 3. nerve to levator scalpulae 4. roots of brachial plexus 5. phrenic n 6. scalene muscles 7. splenius capitis

Cutaneous nerves of the neck (labeled)

cervical plexus

Ansa Cervicalis
a loop of nerves from the cervical plexus that carry somatomotor innervation to most of the infrahyoid (below the hyoid) muscle in the neck

Anterior cervical and suprahyoid regions: superficial (labeled)

Anterior cervical and suprahyoid regoins: deep (lebeled)

Anterior cervical and suprahyoid regions: deep - mainly suprahyoid region (labeled)

Anterior Cervical and suprahyoid regions: Deep - suprahyoid region w/ vasculature removed (labeled)
note relationship b/w lingual n. and submandibular duct

Arteries in the neck (labeled)

Veins in the neck

Arteries in the neck (lateral view) labeled
know all arterial branches - note that the inferior thyroid is a branch of the thryocervical trunk.

Veins in the neck (lateral view) labeled

what vein is used in a venous puncture? (for chemo, etc)
subclavian v. (there is also an internal jugular puncture)
extrinsic muscles of hyoid overlaying larynx (labeled)
for order think: sterno, omo, thryo
