Lecture 18 Flashcards
State the 4 branches of the common carotid artery.
Vertebral artery
Internal thoracic artery
Costocervical trunk
Thyrocervical trunk
What is the name of the dilated portion of the common carotid? what does it function as?
Carotid Sinus = dilated portion of the common carotid
Functions as a baroreceptor
What does the Carotid body function as?
A chemoreceptor
Which cervical artery has no branches in the neck?
The Internal Carotid
Which set of vertebrae are the only ones with branchial motor outflow?
Cervical vertebrae
State the 3 similarities between the neck and trunk vertebrae
Both have vertebrae
Both have mixed spinal nerves,
Both have separate epaxial and hypaxial muscle masses
What are smooth muscles of the trunk gut derived from?
Unsegmented mesoderm
What surrounds the gut tube in the neck? Where are these structures derived from?
In the neck, the gut tube (aka esophagus) is surrounded by striated branchial arch muscles
These are derived from the posterior pharyngeal arch branches (these are the muscles of the pharynx and larynx)
Vertebral section lacks a coelom?
the neck (cervical)
List the 3 boundaries of the anterior triangle of the neck
Superior: Mandible
Posterior: Sternocleidomastoid
Anterior: Midline of the neck
List the contents of the anterior triangle of the neck
(“Did Some Mayan Guy Steal Some Tiny Otters?”)
Digastric M. Stylohyoid M. Mylohyoid M. Geniohyoid M. Sternohyoid M. Sternothyroid M. Thyrohyoid M. Omohyoid M.
State the 4 infrahyoid muscles (aka rectus cervicis series) and delineate which of these are “deep” and which are “superficial”
Deep ones: Sternothyroid and Thyrohyoid (ones attached to the thyroid are deep)
Superficial ones: Sternohyoid and Omohyoid (ones attached to the hyoid are superficial)
State the origin/insertion of the 3 scalene muscles
Anterior Scalene insertion/origin: Transverse processes of C3-C6 to the 1st rib
Middle Scalene insertion/origin: Transverse process of C5-C7 to the 1st rib
Posterior Scalene insertion/origin: Transverse process of C5-C7 to the 2nd rib
For the Digastric muscle, describe it’s innervation
Anterior Belly: Innervated by the Mylohyoid Nerve (branch off of CN V3 aka mandibular branch of trigeminal)
Posterior Belly: Mylohyoid Nerve (CN VII aka facial nerve)
State the innervation for the following muscles
Stylohyoid:
Mylohyoid:
Geniohyoid:
Sternohyoid:
Sternothyroid:
Thyrohyoid:
Omohyoid:
Stylohyoid: Mylohyoid Nerve (CN VII aka facial)
Mylohyoid: Mylohyoid nerve (CN V3 aka mandible branch of trigeminal)
Geniohyoid: C1 via hypoglossal nerve
Sternohyoid: Ansa cervicalis
Sternothyroid: Ansa cervicalis
Thyrohyoid: C1 via hypoglossal nerve
Omohyoid: Ansa cervicalis
