Lecture Two Flashcards
Where does the branchial plexus travel through? What else goes through here?
middle and anterior scalene
* Subclavian a. also goes through here
What is the PA, DA, and function of SCM?
- Has 2 bellies: Connects to clavical and strernum up to the mastoid process
- Flexes the neck laterally
Where is the platysma and what is the function?
- Superior over all other muscles
- Every thin under skin
- Used for expression of shock and feak, manible depresser
What is aids in respiration and shoulder levating
Scalene muscles (ant, post, middle)
Where does the phrenic n go?
Superiorly over the anterior scalene
Label

- Sympathetic trunk
- Platysma m
- Ant. scalene m
- Mid. scalene m

- Esophagus
- Trap m.
What is within the carotid sheath?
- Common carotid artery
- Vagus
- IJV
What is an area in the neck that is a site of infection?
Retropharyngeal space
What is the ligament that connects the spinous process to CT on posterior aspect of neck?
Nuchal ligament
Congenital Torticollis:
* What is the function of SCM?
* What is the most common?
* Results from what?
- Contraction of the cervical muscles producing twisting of the neck and slanting of the head
- Most common type of congenital torticollis (wry neck)
- Results from a fibrous tissue tumor that develops in the SCM before or shortly after birth
Congenital Torticollis:
* Occasionally, SCM injured when?
* What does it result in?
* What is a treatment option?
- Occasionally, SCM injured when head is pulled excessively during a difficult birth, tearing its fibers (muscular torticollis).
- Results in hematoma that may develop into a fibrous mass entrapping branch of the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI), thus denervating part of the SCM.
- Surgical release of a partially fibrotic SCM from its distal attachments to the manubrium and clavicle may be necessary.
- What are the different triangles of the neck?
- What is the Root of Neck?
- Triangles: Sternocleidomastoid region, Trapezius (posterior cervical region), Posterior Triangle (lateral cervical region), Anterior Triangle (anterior cervical region)
- Root of Neck - Between thorax and neck, superior to thoracic inlet
What is the posterior triangle made up of?
Also called: Lateral cervical region
* Occipital triangle
* Subclavian triangle
What is the anterior triangle made up of?
Also called Anterior cervical region
* Submandibular triangle
* Submental triangle
* Carotid triangle
* Muscular triangle
What superficial vein runs over the neck?
EJV runs over SCM
What inn. the SCM and trapz m?
CN XII
What is contained in the superifical dissection of the posterior triangle?
- Great auricular nerve
- EJV
- CN XI
- Nerve point of neck
What is an important land mark deep to the SCM
Nerve point of neck: with great auricular nerve and spinal accessory nerve
- Where does the EJV run?
- When and how can it be prominent?
- EJV runs vertically across the SCM toward the angle of the mandible.
- May be prominent, especially if distended, and can be visualized by asking the person to take a deep breath (Valsalva maneuver).
Where is the jugular notch fossa?
Jugular notch fossa between the sternal heads of the SCM
Where is the Lesser supraclavicular fossa?
between heads of SCM, overlies inferior end of IJV
What is deep to superior half of SCM?
Cervical plexus
What is deep to inferior half of SCM?
- IJV
- Common carotid artery
- Vagus nerve in carotid sheath.
What is deep dissection of posterior triangle?
- CN XI Accessory
- Brachial plexus (between anterior and middle scalene)
- Phrenic nerve
- IJV
What does the great auricular nerve inn?
Paratoid gland and mastoid process region
Phrenic nerve btw where?
Ant and middle scalene
What is a deeper dissection of the posterior triangle?
- Phrenic nerve (running over anterior
scalene) - Brachial plexus (between anterior and middle scalenes)
- Brachiocephalic vein
- IJV-> bring blood back from brain (sinuses)
- EJV goes into SC vein
- Subclavian vein (changes at clavicle) goes into ax v.
- Axillary vein
- Subclavian artery (changes at clavicle) goes into ax. a.
- Axillary artery
Where are the superior deep cervical lymph nodes
angle of jaw more posterior
Where are the submandibular lymph nodes located?
Anterior, close to submandibular gland
What does the ansa cervicalis inn and a part of??
- supplies infrahyoid muscles: sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid, omohyoid
- Roots of Spinal nerves of C1,2,3
What is CN XII next to?
IJV and ext. cardotid artery
How does common carotid go into?
Bifurcates and becomes internal (lateral and deeper) and external (medially and superior) common carotid artery
