L18: Neck & Cervical Plexus Flashcards
unique features of the neck
- atlas and axis
- cervical segments are the only ones w/ branchial-motor outflow only
- -via CN XI
similarities between trunk and neck
- have vertebrae
- have mixed spinal n’s
- have separate epaxial and hypaxial muscles
smooth muscles of trunk gut are derived from ?
unsegmented mesoderm
gut tube in neck is surrounded by ?
striated branchial arch muscles
- -muscles of pharynx and larynx
- -derived from post pharyngeal arches
superficial striated muscles of the neck form ?
an incomplete layer
–trapezius and sternocleidomastoid
–derived from gill arch levators
unlike the trunk, the neck lacks ?
a coelom
hypaxial muscles in the neck are innervated by ?
ventral rami of spinal nerves
just like the other hypaxial muscles of the body
list the groups of neck hypaxial muscles
- rectus cervices series
- geniohyoid
- scalene muscles
- levator scapulae
- pre-vertebral muscles
rectus cervices series
deep
- -sternothyroid
- -thyrohyoid
superficial
- -sternohyoid
- -omohyoid
all together make up the infrahyoid muscles
–name tells you the attachments–
what muscle forms incomplete floor of the mouth ?
geniohyoid
genio = chin, omo = shldr
scalene muscles – including attachments
- ant scalene
trans process C3-6 to 1st rib - mid scalene
trans process C5-7 to 1st rib - post scalene
trans proc C5-7 to 2nd rib
levator scapulae – including attachments
separate portion of serratus muscle
upper cervical trans processes (3 or 4)
to
upper medial corner of scapula
what is special about pre-vertebral muscles of the neck?
no equivalents elsewhere in the body
pre-vertebral muscles
- lat and ant intertransversarri
- -rectus capitis lateralis
- -rectus capitis ant - longer prevertebral muscles
- -longus capitis
- -longus colli
prevertebral fascia
covers muscular floor which consists of: 1. splenius capitis 2. levator scapulae 3. scalene muscles 4. omohyoid
borders of the anterior triangle of the neck
superior – mandible
posterior – sternocleidomastoid
(which is also the ant border of ?)
anterior – midline of neck
subdivisions of the anterior triangle of the neck ?
- muscular triangle
- submandibular triangle
- carotid triangle
list the contents of the muscular triangle
- digastric
- stylohoid
- mylohyoid
- geniohyoid
- sternohyoid
- thyrohyoid
- omohyoid
- sternothyroid
digastric - characteristics
made up of 2 bellies
innervated by 2 dif CNs based upon embryo origin from 2 dif pharyngeal arches I and II
digastric – anterior belly
digastric fossa of mandible
to
post belly via intermediate tendon of hyoid bone
elevate hyoid and tongue
open mouth
depress mandible
mylohyoid nerve CN V3
