30
Where are the superfical cervical lymph nodes?
Deep to the superficial neck muscles, cranial to the shoulder
31
Where are the deep cervical lymph nodes?
Run along length of trachea, often divided into cranial and caudal groups
32
What drains the lymph of the head/neck?

42
What is the ansa cervicalis?
C1 (and some C2) of the ventral ramus join with fibers carried by the hypoglosssal nerve to form loop
