22
Q

what is contained within the submandibular triangle?

A

facial artery and veins, submandibular gland, and hypoglossal nerve (CN12)

23
Q

what is contained within the submental triangle?

A

submental lymph nodes

24
Q

what is contained within the carotid triangle

A

the int jugular vein, carotid artery, vagus nerve (CN10), and ansa cervicalis

25
Q

what is contained within the muscular triangle?

A

thyroid and parathyroid glands

26
Q

Muscles in the anterior triangle of the neck are grouped according to their location in relation to the hyoid bone. What are the suprahyoid muscles?

A

stylohyoid
digastric
mylohyoid
geniohyoid

27
Q

Muscles in the anterior triangle of the neck are grouped according to their location in relation to the hyoid bone. What are the infrahyoid muscles?

A

sternohyoid
omohyoid
thyrohyoid
sternothyroid

28
Q

which muscle has no attachment to the hyoid bone?

A

the sternothyroid muscle

29
Q

what is the function of the hyoid bone?

A

to give support to the tongue when swallowing

30
Q

Your patient has a lower hyoid bone and therefore has an obstruction to the upper airways (OSA). What can be done?

A

strengthen the suprahyoid muscles as they pull the hyoid bone posterosuperiorly

31
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the stylohyoid?

A

origin: base of styloid process
insertion: greater horns
innervation: facial nerve (CN7)
function: pulls the hyoid bone posterosuperior during swallowing.

32
Q

how do the stylohyoid muscle and ligament work together?

A

the stylohyoid muscle inserts to the middle of the greater horn while the stylohyoid ligament inserts to the lesser horn which allows the hyoid bone to move posteriorly and superiorly

33
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the digastric?

A

Origin: anteriorly from the digastric fossa and posteriorly from the mastoid process
Insertion: tendon between 2 bellies to body of the hyoid bone
Innervation: mylohyoid nerve
action: elevate the hyoid bone and depress the mandible

34
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the mylohyoid?

A

Origin: mylohyoid line on mandible
Insertion: body of hyoid bone
Innervation: Mylohyoid nerve
Action: support and elevate the floor of the mouth to give support to the tongue. It elevates the hyoid bone.

35
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the geniohyoid?

A

Origin: inferior mental spine
Insertion: body of hyoid bone
Innervation: anterior ramus from C1
Action: fixation of the mandible and pulls the mandible inward

36
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the sternohyoid?

A

Origin: posterior aspect of the sternoclavicular joint
Insertion: body of hyoid bone
Innervation: ansa cervicalis
Action: depress the hyoid bone after swallowing

37
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the omohyoid?

A

Origin: superior border of the scapula
Insertion: body of the hyoid bone
Innervation: anterior rami of C1 to C3
Action: depress the hyoid bone

38
Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the sternothyroid?

A

Origin: manubrium
Insertion: oblique line on lamina of thyroid cartilage
Innervation: ansa cervicales
Main function: draws larynx (thyroid cartilage) downward

39
Q

What structures do the internal and external carotid arteries supply?

A

the internal carotid supplies all of the structures in the skull, the external carotid supplies all of the structures outside of the skull

40
Q

what is the supply to the internal jugular veins?

A

structures of the head and neck

41
Q

The right common carotid artery and right internal jugular vein branch from…

A

the brachiocephalic trunk

42
Q

the left common carotid artery and left internal jugular vein branch from….

A

the aortic arch

43
Q

what are the branches of the external carotid artery?

A

superior thyroid artery
pharyngeal artery
lingual artery
facial artery

44
Q

what cranial nerves arise from the jugular foramen?

A

Glossopharyngeal (CN9)
Vagus nerve (CN10)
Accessory nerve (CN11)

45
Q

What cranial nerve arises from the hypoglossal canal?

A

hypoglossal (CN12)w

46
Q

what is the function of the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN9)

A

innervate muscles of the pharyngeal wall

47
Q

what is the function of the vagus nerve (CN10)?

A

innervate several structures such as larynx, lungs, heart, liver, and structures in the abdomen

48
Q

What is the function of accessory nerve (CN11)?

A

innervates the SCM and the trap

49
