neck and face Flashcards
anterior triangle of the neck: demonstrate the boundaries, and anatomical position of relevant structures (including common, internal and external carotid arteries, the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve, the trachea, thyroid cartilage, larynx, thyroid and parathyroid glands)
diagram of triangles of neck

what are the 3 borders of the anterior triangle
inferior surface of mandible, anterior surface of sternocleidomastoid muscle, midline
what 3 things does the anterior triangle contain
muscles, carotid arteries, internal jugular vein
what 4 sets of muscles are contained within the anterior triangle
platysma, mylohyoid, digastric, infrahyoid (strap) muscles
what 4 muscles make up the infrahyoid muscles
thyrohyoid, omohyoid, sternohyoid, sternothyroid
function of infrahyoid muscles
depress hyoid bone
what does the stylohyoid muscle connect
styloid process to hyloid
what does the myoloid muscle connect
mandible to hyloid
what does anterior belly of digastric muscle connect
digastric fossa of mandible to hyoid
what does posterior belly of digastric muscle connect
hyoid to mastoid process
diagram of anterior and posterior belly of digastric muscle, mylohyoid muscle and stylohoid muscle, and connections

inferior view of mandible and hyoid: location of geniohyoid muscle
connects medial chin to hyoid; medial border of mylohyoid muscle
inferior view of mandible and hyoid: location of mylohyoid muscle
oblique from mandible to hyoid
inferior view of mandible and hyoid: location of stylohyoid muscle
more lateral; oblique from styloid process to hyoid
inferior view of mandible and hyoid: location of anterior belly of digastric muscle
medially next to geniohyoid muscle
inferior view of mandible and hyoid: location of posterior belly of digastric muscle
anterior reaches hyoid tendon and proceeds most laterally to mandible, forming an enclosure around stylohyoid muscle
diagram of inferior view of mandible and hyoid

inferior view of hyoid to clavicle: location of thyroid cartilage
medially below hyoid bone at C4-C5
inferior view of hyoid to clavicle: location of thyrohyoid muscle
bilateral medially, connects thryoid cartilage to hyoid
inferior view of hyoid to clavicle: location of sternothyroid muscle
bilateral medially, connects manubrium of sternum to hyoid
inferior view of hyoid to clavicle: location of cricoid cartilage
medial below thyroid cartilage at C6
inferior view of hyoid to clavicle: location of omohyoid muscle
most lateral, starts at hyoid and proceeds inferiorly then laterally (superficial to common carotid artery and internal jugular vein) to upper border of scapula
inferior view of hyoid to clavicle: location of common carotid artery and internal jugular vein
lateral of all muscles, with internal jugular vein most lateral
diagram of inferior view of hyoid to clavicle

sagittal view of neck: nerve emerging with internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein
(spinal) accessory nerve XI
what two neck muscles does (spinal) accessory nerve XI innervate
sternocleidomastoid muscle, trapezius muscle
diagram of sagittal view of neck, including internal carotid artery, internal jugular vein, accessory nerve XI, sternocleidomastoid muscle and trapezius muscle
