Lecture 18: Neck II Flashcards
what provides the primary blood supply to the structures of the head and neck
common carotid arteries
what artery provides supplemental supply to head and neck
subclavian arteries
what are the three branches of the subclavian artery
vertebral artery, deep cervical artery and superficial cervical artery
vertebral artery- pathway and what does it supply
passes through the transverse foramina of 6th-1st cervical vertebrae
provides branches to cervical vertebral muscles and spinal cord
what arteries supply the various structures of the root of the neck
deep cervical artery and superficial cervical artery
the common carotid artery divides into two branches- where does it divide and what are the two branches
divides when it reaches the hyoid into the internal carotid artery and external carotid artery
what does internal carotid artery supply
significant branches supply the brain
what does external carotid artery supply
most regions of the head
what two structures does the internal carotid artery contain
carotid sinus and carotid body
what is the carotid sinus
dilation at the origin of the ICA, contains baroreceptors
what is the carotid body
small mass adjacent to the carotid sinus, contains chemoreceptors
what does the Internal carotid artery pass through in the skull
carotid canal
Ruminants and the internal carotid artery
the internal carotid artery will develop but obliterates and disappears perinatally
what four arteries branch off external carotid artery
lingual, ascending pharyngeal, cranial laryngeal, and occipital
where does most blood drainage of the head and neck occur
jugular veins
external jugular vein
primary drainage of head and neck including superficial and deep regions
internal jugular vein
small and of little importance in most domestic animals
what is the pathway of the external jugular vein in muscles of the neck
forms near the angle of the mandible, crosses over the sternocephalicus and dives deep to the brachiocephalicus to contribute to formation of the cranial vena cava
where is the external jugular vein found in horses
in the jugular groove between brachiocephalicus and sternocephalicus
