Laboratory checklist for the Neck Flashcards
what is SCM innervated by?
spinal accessory n.
C2,3
muscle that is seen more posteriorly, right in front of trapezius? goes from manubrium to spinous process
splenius capitis
what is muscle that is seen closest to the SCM, and posterior to the scalenes?
levator scapulae
- it lies more anterior and close to the neck than splenius capitis
muscles through which the brachial plexus passes?
anterior and middle scalene
posterior fused to middle
all are innervated by ventral rami of cervical nn.
space between the scalenes through which the brachial plexus passes?
interscalene triangle
muscle that is seen directly anterior to the internal jugular, and passes over ansa cervicalis. goes from hyoid to clavicle.
omohyoid muscle: superior and inferior bellies.
innervated by ansa cervicalis
nerve seen coming from erbs point and going to innervate the superificial region behind the skull
lesser occipital n.
C2,3
nerve seen going up to ear region from cervical plexus
great auricular n.
C2,3
nerve seen coming out from under posterior edge of SCM and going medially
transverse cervical n.
C2,3
nerve seen coming out from under SCM and heading down to the chest
supraclavicular C3,4
nerve seen lying on top of levator scapula, and sandwiched between splenius capitis and diving deep, gives off branch to the SCM
spinal accessory n.
brachial plexus? what are the portions
superior, middle, inferior
artery seen lateral to anterior scalene?
third portion of subclavian a.
- gives off dorsal scapula a - would jut out laterally very quickly
what artery branches off of second portion of subclavian artery and runs out laterally over the anterior scalene and superiorly
transverse cervical a. (branch of thyrocervical trunk)
what artery runs lateral to the first portion of subclavian and goes down over the anterior scalene?
suprascapular a. (branch of thyrocervical trunk)
muscle of the neck
platysma
innervated by the cervical branch of the facial n.
vein that lies over the SCM, is more anterior and swings out laterally
EJV
vein that drains into EJV and is behind the ear?
posterior auricular v.
veins forming communications and going under chin between IJV and AJV
retromandibular v.
vein seen going straight up at the corner of chin?
facial v.
