3 branches
What are the branches of the supraclavicular nerve?
Medial supraclavicular nerve Intermediate supraclavicular nerve Lateral supraclavicular nerve
Where does the cervical plexus carry motor fibers too?
infrahyoid strap muscles
Where do the motor fibers in the cervical plexus arise from?
Ansa Cervicalis Loop
What are the parts of the Ansa Cervicalis?
Superior root C1-C2 (hypoglossal nerve) and inferior root C2-C3 (cervical nerve)
What cervicals does the Ansa Cervicalis contain?
C1, C2, C3
What infrahyoid muscles are supplied by C1-C3?
sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and omohyoid
What infrahyoid muscle is only supplied from C1 fibers of the hypoglossal nerve?
thryohyoid
Where does the phrenic nerve originate from?
C3, C4, C5
What nerve is the motor supply to the diaphragm and the sensory to the thorax and abdomen?
phrenic nerve
Where is the phrenic nerve typically found?
anterior surface of the anterior scalene muscle on the neck running down vertically into the thorax
Platysma
o: superficial fascia over pectoralis major and deltoid i: lower border of mandible and angle over mouth n: cervical branch of facial nerve of pharyngeal arch 2 f: depresses mandible and draws down corner of mouth
Sternocleidomastoid
o: sternal head in front of manubrium, clavicular head of medial 3rd of clavicle i: lateral surface mastoid process, lateral half of superior nuchal line n: accessory nerve f: chief flexor of head
Define Torticollis
Pathological contraction of SCM, which the head is tilted toward and face is turned away from affected side
What are the 3 types of Torticollis?
Congenital, muscular, and spasmodic
What is congenital torticollis?
fibrous tissue tumor that develops at or shortly before birth
What is muscular torticollis?
due to birth injury
What is spasmodic torticollis?
occurs in adults due to abnormal toxicity (responds well to chiropractic care)
Trapezius
o: external occipital protuberance, ligament nuchal, and spinous process of 7th cervical vertebrae i: lateral 3rd of clavicle, spine of scapula, and acromion process n: accessory nerve, C3-C4 of cervical plexus f: upper portion elevates, middle portion retracts, and lower portion depresses scapula
Which muscles functions in scapulohumeral rhythm?
Trapezius
What does the external jugular vein drain?
face and scalp, as well as cerebral blood
What forms the external jugular vein?
by the retromandibular vein and posterior auricular vein below the parotid gland
What is the path of the external jugular vein?
runs downward and backward along the lateral surface of the SCM and empties into the subclavian vein
Name the tributaries of the external jugular vein?
retromandibular, posterior auricular, posterior external jugular, anterior jugular, transverse cervical, and suprascapular veins
Why is the prominence or absence of external jugular vein so important?
when venous pressure is normal, the vein is nearly invisible. In congestive heart failure/obstruction, it becomes prominent. Opera singers bagpipe payers develop prominence due to increased intrathoracic pressure
Important note on congestive heart failure.
it is not a heart attack, but a chronic condition, that weakens the ventricular walls, affecting blood flow obstruction of superior vena cava due to enlarged neoplasms causes cardiac sac to fill with fluid/blood compressing the vein
True or False: superficial lymph nodes are found along the external jugular vein, above the SCM
True
