Drains the lower part of the face, mouth, nasal cavity and maxillary sinus
Name these muscles, bones and glands
Name these vessels
Describe the submental lymph nodes
They lie under the chin
Drain the most anterior parts of the lower face e.g. lower lip, tip of the tongue, anterior teeth and chin
Name theses parts of Stu Macs drawing of the neck
___ muscle has a free edge
Mylohyoid
Which area is known as the anterior triangle of the neck
The area between the two sternocleidomastoid muscle
The sterno___ muscle is deep to the sterno___ muscle
The sternothyroid muscle is deep to the sternohyoid muscle
What anatomical region would you put an emergency airways into a patient
At the cricothyroid membrane
Which muscles must be retracted during surgery to gain access to the thyroid
Sternohyoid muscle
Sternothyroid muscle
What are the strap muscles
- The infrahyoid muscles (strap muscles) are a group of four pairs of muscles in the anterior (frontal) part of the neck.
The four infrahyoid muscles are;
- Sternohyoid
- Sternothyroid
- Thyrohyoid
- Omohyoid muscles.
Why are the strap muscles known as “strap muscles”
The term infrahyoid refers to the region below the hyoid bone, while the term strap muscles refers to the long and flat muscle shapes which resembles a strap.
The isthmus of the thyroid is between ____ and ____ rings of the trachea
2nd and 4th rings
Which ring of the trachea must surgeons not go near during surgery
1st ring of the trachea
2-4th damage: little side effects
1st damage: severe side effects
The ____ cartilage articulates with the posterior horns of the thyroid cartilage
The cricoid cartilage articulates with the posterior horns of the thyroid cartilage
