Q

Function infrahyoid muscles?

A

Draw hyoid and larynx inferiorly during speech and swallowing
Sternohyoid and omohyoid superficial- attach hyoid to sternum and scapula
Sternothyroid and thyrohyoid deep- attach sternum to thyroid cartilage

17
Q

What makes up thyroid gland? Function?

A

R and L lobes
Produces hormones
Regulated by pituitary gland

18
Q

A

Isthmus

19
Q

20
Q

What innervates the thyroid gland?

A

L and R superior thyroid arteries- branch ECA
L and R inferior thyroid arteries- branch subcla

21
Q

Function parathyroid glands?

A

4
Produce parathyroid hormone- role in calcium regulation
Innervated by inferior thyroid arteries

22
Q

Major vessels in neck?

A

Common carotid arteries- R and L

23
Q

What do CCA bifurcate into?

A

Internal carotid artery- no branches
enters cranium and
supplies brain
External carotid artery- branches- head, neck
- supplies pharynx, scalp,
thyroid, tongue, face

24
Q

What is the swelling at the point of bifurcation called?

A

Carotid sinus

25
Q

What monitors blood pressure?

A

Baroreceptors
Visceral sensory info relayed CNS

26
Q

What nerve relays bp info?

A

Glossopharyngeal

27
Q

What does the subclavian artery supply?

A

Upper limb
Gives rise thyrocervical trunk

28
Q

Function of internal jugular vein?
Function subclavian?
Merge?

A

Drain blood from brain and face
Unites with subclavian- returns blood from upper limb
Forms brachiocephalic unite form superior vena cava

29
Q

Nerves in neck? Function?

A

Facial (CNVII)- supply platysma
Glossopharyngeal (CNIX)- supply pharynx and
carotid sinus
Vagus (X)- normal speech and swallowing
- muscles pharynx (motor)
- larynx (motor/sensory)
Accessory (CNXI)- sternocleidomastoid,
trapezius
Hypoglossal (CNXII)- muscles tongue (motor)
Phrenic- formed C3, 4, 5
- descend neck, enter thorax
- innervate diaphragm

30
Q

What innervates head and neck?

A

Sympathetic nerves- trunk extend base skull
Post-ganglionic- innervate head and neck

31
Q

What is carotid sheath?

A

Internal jugular vein
Internal carotid artery
Vagus nerve

32
Q

What nerves control head?

A

C1, C2, C3
C2- upper area
C3- side and back head
