Lecture 9: Neck Flashcards
Sternocleidomastoid muscle Superior attachment? Inferior attachment? Actions? Innervation?
O: mastoid process
I: sternum and clavicle
A: unilateral: turns face to opposite side (contra lateral) flexes head towards same shoulder (ipsilateral)
Bilateral: flexes the head forward
Innervation: CN 11- spinal accessory nerve

What level does the hyoid bone sit
Label the diagram on slide 8
C3 vertebra
Fascias of the neck
Cervical subcutaneous tissue and platysma
View on slide 10
Support viscera and provide slipperiness that allows structures to move and pass over one another, as when you turn your head.
Cervical subcutaneous tissue (most superficial)
Deep cervical fascia:
-investing layer
-pre-tracheal layer
-pre-vertebral layer
Retro pharyngeal space
Describe the investing layer and pre- tracheal layer of deep cervical fascia
Investing layer: surrounds entire neck and encloses “invests” SCM and trapezius. From superior nuchal line to sternum/clavicle/ spine of scapula
Pre-tracheal layer: only anterior neck. Encloses infra-hyoid muscles, thyroid gland, trachea and oesophagus. From hyoid to fibrous pericardium

What does the carotid sheath enclose?
Encloses common and internal carotid arteries, deep cervical lymph nodes, carotid sinus nerve, sympathetic nerve fibres, extends from cranial base to thorax

What does the retro pharyngeal space do?
Permits movement of pharynx, oesophagus, larynx and trachea relative t vertebral column during swallowing
What are the structures transversing the superior thoracic aperture?
Trachea Common carotid arteries Subclavian arteries Vagus nerve Recurrent laryngeal nerve Phrenic nerve Sympathetic trunk

What are the key blood vessels in the neck?
Subclavian artery

External and internal carotid artery
External and internal and anterior jugular veins
What are the key muscles of the neck?
Platysma Sternocleidomastoid Trapezius Supra hyoid Infra hyoid Scalenes and other pre-vertebral muscles
