Midterm Flashcards
Investing layer of the deep cervical fascia splits to enclose…
Superficial and deep layers to enclose trapezius and SCM, splits to enclose submandibular gland, splits to form the fibrous capsule of the parotid gland.
What is the Platysma and what is its origin and nerve supply?
Broad, thin sheet of muscle in the subcutaneous tissue of the neck.
O- from the fascia covering pectoralis major and deltoid muscles.
NS- cervical br. of the facial N. (7th cr. n.)
Pretracheal layer of deep cervical fascia encloses…
Sternohyoid, sterothyroid, omohyoid, and thyrohyoid.
Pretracheal layer deep to the cervical fasica forms a pulley in which… And wraps around the lateral boarder of….
Intermediate tendon of digastric
Intermediate tendon of omohyoid.
Prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia forms a tubular sheath for the vertebral column and the muscles…
Longus colli and Longus capitis, scalenus anterior, scalenus medius, and scalenus posterior.
Carotid sheath
A tubular fascial investment that expends from the cranial base to the root of the neck.
Contents of the carotid sheath…
Common and internal carotid artery, internal jugular v., and vagus n.
Sternocleidomastoid
Key muscular landmark of the neck.
O-from the anterior surface of the manubrium sterni and superior surface medial third of the clavicle.
I-into the mastoid process of the temporal bone and lateral part of the superior nuchal line of occiput.
Lateral cervical region (posterior triangle) boundaries anteriorly, posteriorly, inferiorly, apex
A-posterior boarder of the SCM
P-anterior boarder of the trapezius
I-middle third of the clavicle
A-SCM and the trapezius meet on the superior nuchal line of occipital bone.
Inferior belly of omohyoid
Divides posterior triangle into an upper,larger occipital triangle and a lower smaller omoclavicular or subclavian triangle.
What is indicated on the surface of the neck by suprclavicular fossa?
Omoclavicular or supraclavicular or subclavian triangle.
Arteries of the lateral cervical region
Lateral br.s of the thyrocervical trunk, the third part of the subclavian artery and part of the occipital artery.
Thyrocervical trunk
Br of the subclavian artery.
External jugular vein
Drains most of the scalp and side of the face
Formed by the union of posterior auricular vein and posterior division of retromandibular vein.
Crosses SCM obliquely deep to the platysma, pierces the investing layer of deep cervical fascia and terminates in the subclavian vein.
Subclavian vein
Unites with internal jugular vein to form the brachiocephalic vein
Spinal accessory N. (11th cr n)
Supplies trapezius and SCM
Suprascapular N (C5C6)
Supplies suprasinatus and infraspinatus
Lesser occipital N supplies…
Ventral ram us of C2, supplies the skin of the neck and scalp posterosuperior to the auricle.
Great auricular N supplies…
Ventral rami of C2&C3, supplies the skin over and the sheath surrounding the parotid gland, the mastoid process, both surfaces of the auricle and an area of skin extending from the angle of mandible to the mastoid process.
Transverse cervical N supplies…
Ventral rami of C2&C3, supplies the skin covering the anterior cervical region (anterior triangle).
Supraclavicular Ns supply…
Ventral rami of C3&C4, small br.s to the skin of the neck and supplies the skin over the shoulder
Phrenic N.
Chiefly from C4, runs on the anterior scalene muscle and provides sole motor supple to the diaphragm.
Spasmodic troticollis
Bilaterally combination of lateral neck muscles, especially the trapezius and SCM
Lesions of spinal accessory N
Drooping of the shoulder is an obvious sign of this nerve injury
Injury of the Suprascapular N
Results in loss of lateral rotation of the humerus at the glenohumeral joint
Waiter’s tip position.
Subdivisions of anterior triangle
The digastric and omohyoid muscles subdivide it into four smaller triangles: submental, submandibular(digastric), carotid, and muscular.
