A

posterior triangle

30
Q

The CCA is a branch of what?

A

right side - brachiocephalic trunk

left side - aortic arch

31
Q

Where does the CCA run in the neck?

A

in the anterior triangle within the carotid sheath

32
Q

What structures lie in the carotid sheath?

A

CCA

internal jugular vein

vagus nerve

33
Q

At what level does the CCA divide in the neck?

A

C4 - top of thyroid cartilage

34
Q

A

superficial temporal and maxillary artery

parotid gland

37
Q

where does the internal jugular vein arise from?

A

arises from jugular venous sinus (which drains the brain)

emerges from the jugular foramen

38
Q

which vein of the upper limb does the IJV merge with and what is the name of the vein that is formed?

A

subclavian vein to form the brachiocephalic

39
Q

Where is the EJV located and what does it drain?

A

it is a superficial vein draining the scalp and face

40
Q

in relation to sternocleidomastoid, where does the EJV run?

A

superficial to it

41
Q

Which veind oes the EJV drain into?

A

subclavian vein

42
Q

the vagus nerve is in the carotid sheath and where does it lie in relation to the vascular ocntents of the sheath

43
Q

the phrenic nerve srises from cervical plexus in neck and travels through the neck into the thorax to supply the diaphragm

where does the phrenic nerve lie in relation to the carotid sheath?

44
Q

What are the 3 parts of the hyoid bone?

45
Q

why is the hyoid bone different form other bones?

A

only bone that is not articulated with another bone and is quite easily damaged

46
Q

What are the 2 sets of msucles for the hyoid bone?

A

suprahyoid muscles

infrahyoid muscles

47
Q

Name the suprahyoid muscles and their innervation

A

mylohyoid - inferior alveolar nerve

geniohyoid - C1 nerve routes which run within the hypoglossal nerve

digastric - inferior alveolar nerve and digastric branch of facial nerve

stylohyoid - facial nerve

(inferior alveolar nerve is a branch of thr mandibular nerve)

48
Q

What actions do the suprahyoid msucles have on the mandible and hyoid bone?

A

lower mandible and elevate hyoid bone (an action involved in swallowing)

49
Q

Name theinfrahyoid muscles and their innervation

A

sternohyoid - C1-3 carried by a branch of the anas cervicalis

sternothyroid - C1-3 carried by a branch of the anas cervicalis

A

anterior and middle scalene

61
Q

what motor nerve merges form the cervical plexus and travels through the thorax?

A

phrenic nerve

62
Q

what is the ansa cervicalis?

A

loop of nerves that are part of the cervical plexus

63
Q

what kind of gland is the thyroid gland and where is it

A

endocrine gland

front of neck

64
Q

what is the anatomical parts of the thyroid gland

A

2 lobes and isthmus

65
Q

at what level (in relation to the trachea or larynx) does the isthmus of the thyroid gland lie?

A

extends form the the second to third rings of the trachea

(C7-T1)

66
Q

In which of the 4 compartments of the neck does the thyroid gland lie?

A

visceral compartment of the neck

67
Q

What supplies blood to the thyroid gland?

A

Blood supply to the thyroid gland is achieved by two main arteries; the superior and inferior thyroid arteries. These are paired arteries arising on both the left and right. The superior thyroid artery is the first branch of the external carotid artery

68

strap muscles of the neck - anteriomedial

sternocleidomastoid muscle - lateral

carotid sheath - posterolateral

recurrent laryngeal nerve (branch of the vagus nerve) - posteriomedial

external laryngeal nerve - superior
