The neck is the region of the body between what structures?
the head and thorax (pg. 97)
What is the bone that lies in the anterior portion of the neck between the mandible and the larynx, is u-shaped, and is open posteriorly?
The hyoid bone (pg. 97)
The anterior portion of the hyoid bone is called what?
the body (pg. 97)
Projecting from the body of the hyoid bone posteriorly are what?
- (the larger) Greater horns
- (then smaller) Lesser horns (pg. 97)
What does the hyoid bone articulate with?
It does not articulate with any other bone but is suspended by the attaching muscles (pg. 97)
What is the cartilaginous pipe that extends from the larynx above through the neck into the thorax?
the trachea (pg. 97)
What is the cartilaginous organ located at the upper end of the trachea (windpipe)?
Larynx (voice box) (pg. 97)
What is the endocrine gland located on either side of the trachea just below the larynx?
thyroid gland (pg. 98)
The thyroid gland has (blank 1) lobes connected across the trachea by the (blank 2)?
- 2
2. Isthmus (pg. 98)
What are the 2-4 endocrine glands located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland (not cartilage)?
parathyroid gland (pg. 98)
What are the 6 muscles/category of muscles of the neck?
- subcutaneous muscle (platysma)
- Sternocleidomastoid
- Infrahyoid muscles

- Prevertebral muscles (pg. 98)
What is the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the Platysma (subcutaneous muscle)?
Origin: Skin over deltoid and pectoralis major
Insertion: Lower border of the mandible
Action: Elevation of the skin of the neck
Innervation: CN VII (facial nerve) (pg. 98)
What is the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the Sternocleidomastoid muscle?
Origin: manubrium of sternum and clavicle
Insertion: Mastoid process of the skull
Action: Flex neck (both) or rotation (individual side acting alone)
Innervation: CN XI (accessory nerve)
The infrahyoid muscles are also known as what?
-Strap muscles (pg. 98)
What is the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the Thyrohyoid muscle?
Origin: Thyroid cartilage
Insertion: Hyoid bone
Action: Involved in swallowing
Innervation: Cervical nerve 1 via CN XII (hypoglossal)
What are the 4 strap muscles (infrahyoid)?
- Thyrohyoid
- Sternohyoid
- Sternothyroid
- Omohyoid (pg. 98-99)
What is the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the sternohyoid muscle (most prominent of strap)?
Origin: manubrium of the sternum
Insertion: Hyoid bone
Action: Involved in swallowing
Innervation: Ansa cervicalis (pg. 99)
What is the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the sternothyroid muscle (deep to sternohyoid)?
Origin: manubrium of sternum
Insertion: Thyroid cartilage
Action: involved in swallowing
Innervation: Ansa cervicalis
What is the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the omohyoid muscle?
Origin: Scapula
Insertion: hyoid bone
Action: involved in swallowing
Innervation: Ansa cervicalis (pg. 99)
Which strap muscle is not innervated by ansa cervicalis?
Thyrohyoid (pg. 98-99)
What are the 4 suprahyoid muscles?

What is the origin and insertion of scalene anterior?
Origin: cervical vertebrae
Insertion: 1st rib (pg. 99)
What is the origin and insertion of scalene medius?
Origin: Cervical vertebrae
Insertion: 1st rib (pg. 99)
What is the origin and insertion of scalene posterior?
Origin: cervical vertebrae
Insertion: 2nd rib
What nerve are all the scalene muscles innervated by?
Ventral Rami (pg. 99)
What is the action of all the scalene muscles?
lateral flexion of the neck (pg. 99)
