Perfectly

Dorsal Scapular Artery

Variably arises from this location
Travels superior to scapula then along medial border of scapula, supplying the Levator Scapula and Rhomboid muscles
If this artery arises from Transverse Cervical A instead, then it is known as Deep Branch of the Transverse Cervical A

What is contained in the Carotid Sheath?

Common Carotid A
Internal Jugular V
Vagus N

Carotid Sinus

Slight dilation in the diameter of the Common Carotid A
Branch point into Internal and External Carotid A
Has receptors that sense BP

Carotid Body has receptors that sense:

Oxygen content

Internal Carotid Artery

- No cervical branches - Does not branch until it reaches the head

External Carotid Artery

- Travels superiorly between the Mandible and the external ear - Embedded in the Parotid Gland - Terminates as the Maxillary A and Superficial Temporal A

What are the 8 Arteries that branch off of the External Carotid Artery?

"Some Anatomists Like Freaking Out Poor Medical STudents" (1) Superior thyroid (2) Ascending pharyngeal (3) Lingual (4) Facial (5) Occipital (6) Posterior auricular (7) Maxillary (8) Superficial Temporal

Superior Thyroid Artery

- Travels inferiorly to the thyroid gland, deep to the infrahyoid muscles - Gives off Superior Laryngeal A

Superior Laryngeal Artery

- Pierces the Thyrohyoid Membrane - Supplies the Larynx

Ascending Pharyngeal Artery

- Travels superiorly, deep to the Internal Carotid A - Gives off branches to the Pharynx, Anterior Vertebral muscles, middle ear, and cranial meninges

Lingual Artery

- Travels superiorly, deep to the Hypoglossal N, Stylohyloid M, and Posterior belly of the Digastric M - Has 3 branches: Dorsal Lingual A, Deep Lingual A, Sublingual A

Occipital Artery

- Travels posteriorly to the posterior aspect of the scalp (via the Occipital Groove), superficial to the Internal Carotid A

Posterior Auricular Artery

- Travels posteriorly between the External Auditory Meatus and the Mastoid Process, supplying nearby musculature (Parotid Gland, Facial N, Temporal bone, Auricle, Scalp)

What artery supplies the back of the tongue?

Dorsal Lingual Artery

Where does the Lingual Artery bifurcate into the Deep Lingual A and the Sublingual A?

Anterior border of the tongue

Facial Artery

Supplies blood to the lower region of the face, mouth and nose

Maxillary Artery

- Terminal branch of External Carotid Artery - Gives off several branches in the deep face

Superficial Temporal Artery

- Terminal branch of External Carotid Artery - Gives off Transverse Facial Artery

Which 2 cranial nerves are involved in the adjustment of HR, RR, and BP based on oxygen content in the carotid sinus?

- Glossopharyngeal Nerve - Vagus Nerve

Carotid Bodies contain ____ and are located at the ___ ___, and monitor the ___ content of blood before it reaches the brain

- Chemoreceptors - Carotid Sinus - Oxygen

Location of External Jugular Vein

Superficial Fascia

What are the two main tributaries to the External Jugular V (several more exist)?

Location of Internal Jugular Vein

Carotid Sheath

What are the 3 main tributaries to the Internal Jugular Vein (several more exist)?

- Common Facial V - Superior Thyroid V - Middle Thyroid V

Location of the Anterior Jugular Vein

Passes deep to the SCM to join the External Jugular V in the root of the neck

What are the 3 main veins of the neck?

- External Jugular V - Internal Jugular V - Anterior Jugular V

What does the Right Lymphatic Duct drain?

The RUE, right thorax, right head and right neck

Thoracic Duct

Drains everything except the RUE, right thorax, right head, and right neck into the left subclavian vein

What lymph nodes drain into the Deep Inferior Cervical Lymph Nodes?

Superficial Cervical Lymph Nodes

What are the 5 Superficial Cervical Lymph Nodes?

"Some Men Like Anal Often" - Superficial Parotid - Mastoid - Lateral Superficial - Anterior Superficial - Occipital
