Neck Flashcards
two bones of the neck
cervical vertebrae, hyoid
there is a lot of blank and blank at the neck
crowding, vulnerability
hyoid has a main blank, a blank going posteriorly, and a blank going superiorly
body, greater horn, lesser horn
most chronic pain is due to blank
osteoarthritis
strangulation often causes blank
hyoid fracture
the blank muscle is in the subcutaneous fascia of the neck
platysma
three deep cervical fascias
investing, pretracheal, prevertebral
investing fascia covers all of the anterior neck except
platysma
deep cervical fascia with a muscular layer as well as two visceral layers
pretracheal
fascia that wraps around and creates bend of digastric and omohyoid muscles
pretracheal
the pretracheal fascia is continuous with the fibrous blank
pericardium (external sac of the heart)
all of the muscles acting on the vertebral column are wrapped in this fascia
prevertebral
prevertebral fascia extends into the blank as the blank
axilla, axillary sheath
prevertebral fascia is continuous into the thorax and called the blank fascia
endothoracic
this is a space behind the pharynx
retropharyngeal space
retropharyngeal space is between the blank and blank fascia
prevertebral, alar
four regions of the neck
anterior, lateral, posterior, scm
three items in the scm region
scm muscle, external jugular vein, erb’s point nerves
two erb’s point nerves in scm region
transverse cervical nerve, great auricular nerve
contraction or shortening of cervical muscles causing twisting of neck and slant of head
congenital torticollis
three scm actions
posterior fibers extend the head, protrusion, unilateral contralateral rotation, unilateral ipsilateral sidebending
usually begins in adulthood and is when the neck is turned, tilted, flexed, or extended involuntarily
spasmodic torticollis
great auricular nerve and transverse cervical nerve are branches of blank plexus so they are blank rami and are both blank
cervical, anterior, sensory
posterior cervical region boundaries
external occipital protuberance, across superior trap, diagonally up to external occ prot
some blank rami in the posterior cervical region
posterior
lateral cervical region boundaries
trapezius, clavicle, and scm…. making a triangle
lateral cervical region is subdivided by the blank into the blank triangle and the blank triangle
inferior belly of omohyoid, occipital, omoclavicular
floor muscles of lateral cervical region
splenius capitis, levator scap, posterior scalene, middle scalene
most important clinical structure of the lateral cervical region
spinal accessory
floor muscles of lateral cervical region are covered by blank fascia
prevertebral
congenital torticollis is caused by blank and shortening of the blank
fibrosis, scm
most cervical pain is caused by blank abnormalities or blank
bony, trauma
blank is very difficult after hyoid fracture
swallowing
when food gets into lungs and causes infection because of hyoid fracture not separating the alimentary and respiratory tracts
aspiration pneumonia
three arteries in the lateral cervical region… most prominent one first
transverse cervical, suprascapular, occipital, subclavian
three veins in lateral cervical region.. most obvious first
external jugular, subclavian, brachiocephalic
subclavian artery turns into blank artery when it crosses clavicle or first rib
axillary
carotid sheath is made up of
common carotid, internal jugular, vagus nerve
three nerves in lateral cervical region
spinal accessory, roots of brachial plexus, suprascapular
two muscles innervated by suprascapular nerve
supraspinatus, infraspinatus
strongest internal rotator muscle of shoulder
supraspinatus
four cutaneous nerves of cervical plexus in lateral cervical region… erb’s point
lesser occipital, great auricular, transverse cervical, supraclavicular
a motor nerve of the cervical plexus in the lateral cervical region
phrenic
motor supply to most infrahyoid muscles and part of cervical plexus
ansa cervicalis
most motor fibers of hypoglossal nerve innervate blank
tongue
superior root of ansa cervicalis
C1
inferior root of ansa cervicalis
C2, C3
