Lecture 3.5 Neck muscles and fascia Flashcards
What does the superficial cervical fascia contain?
Subcutaneous tissue and platysma muscle
What does the deep cervical fascia contain?
Investing fascia, pretrachial fascia, prevertebral fascia, carotid sheath
What does the investing fascia envelop?
The entire neck
Which fascia layer envelopes the trapezius and SCM muscles?
Investing fascia. It splits to surround these muscles on all sides
Which glands are superiorly encapsulated by the investing fascia?
parotid and submandibular glands
Does the pretrachial fascia envelop muscles?
No, it continues with the buccopharyngeal fascia superiorly and descends to mediasteinum
What does the prevertebral fascia envelop?
Vertebrae and muscles
Which fascia layers contribute to the carotid sheath?
The three layers of the deep fascia: investing, pretrachial, prevertebral fascias
What muscle divides the posterior and anterior triangles of the neck?
SCM
What fascia layers and/or muscles make up the floor of the posterior triangle of the neck?
Prevertebral fascia.
Splenius capitis muscle
Levator scapulae
Scalenes (Posterior, Middle, Anterior)
Which muscles divides the posterior triangle into two triangles? What are the names of these two triangles?
Omohyoid (inferior belly).
Occipital triangle
Suprascapular
What are the three muscles of the occipital triangle borders? Suprascapular triangle borders?
SCM, Trapezius, Omohyoid.
Omohyoid, SCM, Clavicle
What structures make up the roofs of the posterior and anterior triangles?
Skin, superficial fascia with platysma muscle and deep investing fascia
What makes up the floor of the anterior triangle?
Pharynx, larynx, thyroid
What are the four subtriangles of the anterior triangle?
Submental, submandibular, carotid, muscular triangles
Which anterior triangle is singular (not paired)? What are its boundaries?
Submental triangle down the midline of the chin.
The anterior belly of the digastric muscle on each side and they hyoid bone inferiorly.
Which triangle is bounded by both bellies of the digastric muscle and the inferior border of the mandible?
Submandibular triangle
Which triangle is bounded by the SCM, superior belly of omohyoid, and the posterior border of the digastric?
Carotid triangle
Which muscles form the boundaries of the muscular triangle?
SCM, superior belly of omohyoid, and the sternohyoid
What are the suprahyoid muscles?
Anterior and Posterior bellies of digastric
Mylohyoid
Hyoglossus
Geniohyoid
Stylohoid (stradles digastric at its tendon)
What are the general actions of the suprahyoid muscles?
Lift up larynx and hyoid in swallowing and speaking
What are the general actions of the infrahyoid muscles?
Pulling down hyoid and larynx
What are the infrahyoid muscles?
Omohyoid
Sternohoid
Thyrohyoid
Sternothyroid
