Digastric Attachments
Superior:
anterior belly- digastric fossa of mandible
Posterior belly- mastoid notch
Inferior:
Hyoid bone
Mylohyoid attachment
Superior:
Mylohyoid line of the mandible
Inferior attachment:
Hyoid bone
Larynx
modifies exit of air for vocalisation Innervation Sensory- internal laryngeal nerve Motor- recurrent laryngeal nerve Except cricothryoid muscle which is Innervation by external laryngeal nerve
The hyoid bone is at what level?
C3
The larynx is at what level?
C4-C6
The thyroid gland is at what level?
C5-T1
What makes up the anterior triangle of the neck?
Anterior border of SCM, Inferior border of mandible, Midline of neck
What makes up the posterior triangle of the neck?
Posterior border of SCM
Anterior border of trapezius
Middle 1/3 of clavicle
SCM and trapezius innervated by?
spinal accessory nerve CN XI
Submental triangle of the neck
apex: mandibular Symphysis , base: hyoid bone
Submandibular triangle of the neck
between mandible & digastric muscle, filled by submandibular
gland
Carotid triangle of the neck
anterior border SCM, posterior belly digastric
What is the purpose of the fascia of the neck?
Support viscera and provide “slipperiness” that allows structures to move and pass over one another without difficulty, as when you turn your head.
What are the three cervical fascia of the neck?
• Cervical subcutaneous tissue and platysma • Deep cervical fascia => investing layer => pre-tracheal layer =>pre-vertebral layer • Retropharyngeal space
Investing layer of deep cervical fascia does what?
“invests” SCM and trapezius
