infrahyoid muscle
thyroid gland
larynx (laryngeal cartilage)

19
Q

The supraclavicular triangle (subclavian triangle) contains?

A

subclavian artery and vein

element of brachial plexus

20
Q

Occipital triangle is made up of the trapezius, SCM and inferior belly of omohyoid muscle. What is found in this triangle?

A

cranial nerve 11 and cutaneous N from cervical plexus.

21
Q

The cervical plexus (Ventral Rami C1-4) is made up of 5 branches. Name these?

A
  1. Cutaneou
  2. Communicating branches
  3. ansa cervicalis
  4. phrenic n
  5. motor branches -deep neck muscles
22
Q

The cutaneous branches have 4 terminal branches that exits along the neck, posterior border of the SCM. Name the 4 terminal branches?

A

lesser occipital n
great auricular n
transverse cervicle n
supraclavicular n

23
Q

What does it mean by communicating branches? give 2 examples of this definitions?

A

When Nerves join/hitch hike to other nerves not are not apart of those nerves.
ex 1: C2, C3, C4 fibers join with CN 11 providing sensory innervation to SCM (2 and 3) and trapezius (3 and 4)
ex 2: C1 fibers join with cranial N 12 to supply motor invervation to geniohyoid muscle and thyrohyoid muscle.

24
Q

Ansa Cervicalis Nerve supplies?

A

infrahyoid muscles except thyrohyoid muscles.

25
Q

Name the 2 roots of the ansa cervicalis? Name the muscles that these two roots supply?

A
  1. superior: C1 hitch hikes CN 12 for short distance therefore known as Descending hypoglosal Ramus of ansa cervicalis.
  2. Inferior: C2- C3 Descending cervical ramus of ansa cervicalis
    Sternohyoid and sternothyroid muscles and omohyoid muscles, muscles of tongue, thyrohyoid muscles, geneohyoid muscle.
26
Q

Phrenic nerve supplies?

A

sensory and motor to diaphram

27
Q

Motor branches of the cervical plexus supples?

A

scalene muscles and prevertebral muscles.

28
Q

The infrahyoid muscle hels with swallowing and speech production. Name the 4 pairs of muscles that helps make up the infrahyoid muscle?

A
