A

sternothyroid (ansa cervicalis)

thyrohyoid (C1 via hypoglossal n.)

28

parts of thyroid gland?

A

right and left lobes
isthmus (in middle) - located at tracheal rings 2-4
pyramidal lobe (most likely on left - remnant of thyroglossal duct)

29
Q

what are levels of bones?

A

inferior thyroid artery (branch of the subclavian a.)

31
Q

what are the nerve is seen lying beween internal carotid and trachea? right up next to trachea?

A

recurrent laryngeal n.

32
Q

what nerve lies lateral to the common carotid?

A

vagus n.

33
Q

what nerve branches medially off of vagus and goes up superiorly above thyroid? what are its branches and where do they go?

A

superior laryngeal n.
internal laryngeal goes superiorly to thyrohyoid membrane
external laryngeal goes inferior (hasn’t been seen yet)

34
Q

this artery bifurcates at CV3 and comes off of brachiocephalic trunk on the right and directly off of aorta on right?

A

common carotid a.
internal carotid a. seen more deeply and laterally
external carotid artery is more medial/superior and gives off branches

35
Q

what are branches of external carotid artery and where do they go?

A
  • superior thyroid (descends)
  • ascending pharyngeal (seen posterior, hard to see, goes up)
  • lingual (2nd medial branch coming off, goes under digastric m., passes deep quickly)
  • facial (3rd medial branch coming off, curly and goes up under chin, seen in omohyoid triangle)
  • occipital (artery coming off lateral to facial a. goes posteriorly)
  • posterior auricular
    (ends branches are maxillary and superficial temporal, won’t see these)
36
Q

nerve under the anterior digastric, crosses external carotid, goes into tongue

A

hypoglossal n. runs with the lingual a.
