b. Transverse cervical n.
c. Great auricular n.
d. Lesser occipital n.

22
Q

Formed by the union of the posterior division of the retromandibular vein and the posterior auricular vein.

A

External Jugular Vein

23
Q

The _______ lies behind or retro to the ramus of the mandible and lies under the cover of the parotid gland. It is formed by the union of the superficial temporal vein and the maxillary vein. These two veins drain the superficial temporal region and structures deep to the face, respectively.

A

retromandibular vein

24
Q

Near the inferior border of the mandible, the retromandibular vein divides into an anterior and a posterior division.
The posterior division joins with the posterior auricular vein, which drains the region around the ear, to form the ________.

A

external jugular vein

25
Q

The _______crosses superficially over the sternocleidomastoid muscle and penetrates the fascia on the roof of the posterior triangle of the neck. The blood vessel passes deep to the clavicle to drain into the subclavian vein.

A

external jugular vein

26
Q

a. The anterior division of the retromandibular vein combines with the facial vein, which drains the face, to form the common facial vein.
b. Vein passes deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle to empty into the internal jugular vein

A

Common facial vein

27
Q

a. Vein starts in the submental region, courses inferiorly, and travels deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle to empty into the external jugular vein.
b. May have a communicating branch with the common facial vein
c. Anterior jugular veins communicate in the suprasternal space forming the
jugular venous arch

A

Anterior jugular vein

28
Q
  1. Deep fascia that surrounds the neck
  2. Extent
    a. Encloses trapezius muscle posteriorly
    b. Forms roof of posterior cervical triangle
    c. Encloses sternocleidomastoid muscle
    d. Covers the anterior cervical triangle
A

Investing Fascia

29
Q

Anterior boundaries of the posterior triangle (origin and insertion)

A

Sternocleidomastoid muscle Origin: sternal and clavicular heads
Insertion: mastoid process

30
Q

Posterior boundaries of the posterior triangle (origin and insertion)

A

Trapezius muscle
Origin: external occipital protuberance
Insertion: spine of scapula and lateral third of clavicle

31
Q

Inferior boundary of the posterior triangle

A

Middle third of the clavicle

32
Q

Divided into two triangles by the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle

  • Origin: Upper border of scapula
  • Insertion: hyoid bone
  • Intermediate tendon passes through a fascial sling attaching it to the clavicle
A

Subsidiary Triangles:

  1. Supraclavicular triangle
  2. Occipital triangle
33
Q

Supraclavicular triangle bounded by:

A

a. Clavicle
b. Inferior belly of omohyoid
c. Sternocleidomastoid

34
Q

Occipital triangle bounded by:

A

a. Sternocleidomastoid
b. Inferior belly of omohyoid
c. Trapezius

35
Q

Floor of the posterior triangle contains

A
  1. Prevertebral fascia
  2. Muscles of the floor
    of the triangle
36
Q

Muscles of the floor

of the triangle

e. Others not
studied in this course

37
Q

Contents of the Posterior Triangle

A. Subclavian vessels and branches
B. Transverse cervical artery
C. Suprascapular artery
D. Trunks of the brachial plexus and branches

38
Q
  1. Branch of thyrocervical trunk of subclavian artery
  2. Artery generally divides into two branches
    a. Superficial branch passes out of the posterior triangle underneath the trapezius muscle which it supplies.
    b. Deep branch exits the triangle by passing between the posterior scalene and levator scapulae muscles and supplies the muscles of the back.
  3. Common variations
    a. Deep branch may arise separately off the second or third portion of the subclavian artery as the dorsal scapular and passes through the brachial plexus to reach the levator scapulae muscle.
    b. A typical transverse cervical artery with its two branches may be present in addition to the dorsal scapular artery
