Q

In the carotid sheath, fascia is thicker where it is connected to the artery. Why?

A

for protection and to reduce friction, can contain calcium and other minerals as well, muscular layer is larger where arteries are present (calcification of the fascia = sclerosis)

Q

Carotid body general characteristics.

A

Vagus CN X and Glossopharyngeal CN IX (mostly CN IX)

37
Q

Carotid sinus general characteristics.

A

between the media and externa are nerve fibers for baroreceptors of the carotid sinus, when the BP increases the muscle expands, sending an AP to stimulate both CN IX and CN X (mostly vagus)

Q

CVAs are associated with occlusions of the _____ artery.

A

carotid

Q

Atypical cervical vertebrae.

A

C1, C2, and C7 - contain anatomical structures/features that are unique compared to other cervical vertebrae

52
Q

Proper positioning of the atlantoaxial bones is best seen in which x-ray view?

A
