2nd lq - muscles of the neck Flashcards
layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of
muscles, blood vessels and nerves, binding those structures
together
allow the muscles to slide upon each other during movement
Fascia
example of parallel muscle
stylohyoid muscle
example of circular muscle
orbicularis oculi
ample of fusiform muscle
digastric muscle
example of triangular muscle
pectoralis major
ex. of unipennate
extensor digitorum.
of bipennate
rectus femoris
ex. of multipennate
deltoid
immediately deep to the skin
Superficial fascia
deep investing fascia
visceral (pretracheal) fascia
prevertebral fascia
alar fascia
Deep cervical fascia
wraps around the entire circumference of the neck
splits to pass around SCM and trapezius
Deep investing fascia
superior attachment of Deep investing fascia:
inf. border of mandible, inf. border of the body of hyoid bone,
angle of mandible, inf. border of zygomatic arch, mastoid
process, styloid process and attachments of SCM and
trapezius to the skull
inferior attachment of Deep investing fascia:
manubrium sterni, clavicles and spine of the scapula
deep to the deep investing fascia
forms a sheath around the visceral unit of the neck
Visceral/pretracheal fascia
Superior attachment
hyoid bone and base of the skull
Inferior attachment
superior mediastinum → pericardium of the heart
Visceral/pretracheal fascia
surrounds the cervical vertebral unit
Prevertebral fascia
Superior attachment
base of the skull
Inferior attachment
blends with the investing fascia of the musculature of the
back and with the anterior longitudinal ligament of the
thoracic vertebrae
Prevertebral fascia
formed by a division of the anterior component of the
prevertebral fascia
binds to the transverse processes laterally
Alar fascia
Most important muscle of respiration
Dome-shaped
Consist of peripheral muscular part and a centrally placed tendon
Diaphragm
diaphragm origin is divided into 3 parts
Sternal part – posterior surface of the xiphoid process
Costal part – deep surfaces of the lower six ribs and their costal cartilages
Vertebral part – vertical columns or crura and from arcuate ligaments.
arises from the sides of the bodies of the 1st three lumbar vertebrae and intervertebral discs and splits to enclose the esophagus
Right crus
sides of the bodies of the 1st two lumbar vertebrae and intervertebral discs
Left crus
central tendon
Nerve Supply:
Phrenic Nerve (C3-5)
On contraction, the diaphragm pulls its central tendon down and increases the vertical diameter of the thorax
Muscle of inspiration
