Suprascapular Nerve
Provides motor and sensory components to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus
Subscapular Nerve
Innervates the Subscapularis and Teres Major
Phrenic Nerve
Innervates the Diaphragm
Axillary Nerve
C5-C6
Innervates the Deltoid, Teres Minor and Triceps Long Head.
Musculocutaneus Nerve
Innervates the Coricobrachialis, Biceps Brachii and Brachialis
Radial Nerve
Innervates the Medial, Lateral and Long heads of the Triceps Brachii muscle.
It also innervates: Superficial: Brachioradialis I Superficial: Extensor carpi radialis longus E Superficial: Extensor carpi radialis brevis E Superficial: exensor carpi ulnaris E Superficial: anconeus I Intermediate: extensor digitorum E Intermediate: extensor digiti minimi E Deep: abductor pollicis longus E Deep: extensor pollicis longus E Deep: extensor pollicis brevis E Deep: extensor indicis E Deep: supinator I

Median Nerve
Innervates: Pronator Teres Flexor carpi radialis Palmaris longus Flexor digitorum superficialis Flexor digitorum profundus Flexor pollicis longus Pronator quadratus.
Suprahyoids
Consist of the: Diagastricus Mylohyoid Genlohyoid Stylohyoid
Infrahyoids
Consist of the: Sternohyoid Thyrohyoid Omohyoid Sternothyrohyoid
These muscles lie right over the trachea.
Hyoid Bone
This bone lies at the level of the C3 Vertarae
Thyroid Cartilage
Lies at the level of C4-5 Vertabrae
Cricoid Cartilage
Lies at the level o the C7 Vertabrae
Cruciform Ligament
This ligament consist of the transverse ligament of the atlas and the superior and inferior crus.
The strong ligament that lies posterior to the dens of the axis holding it against the anterior arch of the atlas; it consists primarily of the transverse ligament of the atlas that forms the cross-bar of the cross and is most important functionally, and the longitudinal bands of the cruciform ligament, thus forming the upright or vertical beams of the cross.
Alar Ligament
This ligament functions to stabilize the occipitalatlantoaxial complex.
