Q

What is the purpose of the fascia of the neck?

A

Support viscera and provide “slipperiness” that allows structures to move and pass over one another without difficulty, as when you turn your head.

18
Q

What is inside the common carotid sheath?

A

encloses common & internal carotid arteries, IJV, CN X, deep cervical lymph nodes, carotid sinus nerve, sympathetic nerve fibres. Extends from cranial base to thorax.

19
Q

Retropharyngeal space permits what movement?

A

movement of pharynx, oesophagus, larynx & trachea relative to
vertebral column during swallowing

20
Q

What is the platysma innervated by?

A

Innervated by cervical branch of facial nerve CN VII

21
Q

Sternocleidomastoid muscle origin insertion action Innervation?

A
  • Superior attachment: mastoid process
  • Inferior attachment: sternum and clavicle
  • innervation: XI Spinal accessory nerve, Branches of the anterior rami of C2-3
22
Q

What are the four infrahyoid muscles and their Innervation?

A
  • Thyrohyoid (C1)
  • Sternohyoid (C1-C3 through ansa cervicalis)
  • Omohyoid (C1-C3 through ansa cervicalis)
  • Sternothyroid (C1-C3 through ansa cervicalis)
23
Q

Sternothyroid superior and inferior attachment and action ?

A
  • Superior attachment: lamina of thyroid cartilage
  • Inferior attachment: manubrium of sternum
  • Actions: Depresses thyroid cartilage (larynx)
24
Q

Sternohyoid superior and inferior attachment and action?

A
  • Superior attachment: manubrium
  • Inferior attachment: hyoid bone
  • Actions: Depresses hyoid bone at the end of swallowing
25
Q

Thyrohyoid superior attachment, Inferior attachment and actions?

A
  • Superior attachment: thyroid cartilage
  • Inferior attachment: hyoid bone
  • Actions: Depresses hyoid bone or raises larynx if hyoid bone is fixed
26
Q

Trapezius superior attachment, inferior attachment, action and Innervation?

A

Superior attachment: superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, nuchal ligament, spinous processes of C7 to T12
Inferior attachment: lateral 1/3 of clavicle, acromion, spine of the scapula

Actions:
Upper trapezius: elevate the scapula
Middle trapezius: adduction of the scapula
Lower trapezius: depresses the scapula
Rotates the scapula in abduction of humerus above >90 degrees

Innervation: Spinal accessory nerve and
Branches of the anterior rami of C2-3

27
Q

Ansa cervicalis supplies

A
  • STERNOTHYROID
  • STERNOHYOID
  • OMOHYOID
28
Q

Hypoglossal nerve supplies

A
Intrinsic muscles of tongue 
•GENIOGLOSSUS 
•HYOGLOSSUS 
•GENIOHYOID 
•THYROHYOID 
•STYOLGLOSSUS
29
Q

Structures passing between thorax & head?

A
  • Sympathetic trunk & cervical ganglia (x3)
  • Vagus (CN X) + recurrent laryngeal nerve
  • Phrenic (C3, C4, C5)
30
Q

Brachial plexus emerges between?

A

anterior and middle scalene muscles

31
Q

Cervical plexus

A
  • Anterior rami C1-C4
  • Deep to SCM
  • Anteromedial to levator scapulae and middle scalene.
  • Superficial branches = cutaneous sensory
  • Deep branches = motor (phrenic nerve, ansa cervicalis)
32
Q

Cervical plexus nerves

A
  • Lesser occipital (C2)
  • Great auricular (C2 and C3)
  • Transverse cervical (C2 and C3)
  • Supraclavicular (C3 and C4)
33
Q

What is ansa cervicalis?

A

innervation to infra-hyoid muscles (sternohyoid, omohyoid,
sternothyroid)

34
Q

What is the course of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve?

A

innervate laryngeal muscles.

35
Q

What is the course of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve?

A
