Q

Does damage to the Accessory nerve in the trap damage the SCM muscle? Or vice versa

A

Nope- they are different branches because the trap is posterior and the SCM is anterior
-to damage both of the muscles you would have to have damage where the Accessory nerve originates

A

Phrenic (it is actually both sensory and motor)

26
Q

What region are all of the nerves found in?

A

The lateral cervical region

27
Q

What are the components of the cervical plexus?

A

Anterior rami of C1-C5

28
Q

Do posterior rami participate in plexuses?

A

NO CON WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT?

29
Q

Where does the ansa cervicalis lie?

A

On top of the carotid sheath

30
Q

What is the big picture of the Erb’s point nerves?

A

Cutaneous nerves of the cervical plexus that supply the head and neck

31
Q

What are the divisions of the anterior cervical region (4)

A
  • Submandibular
  • Carotid
  • Muscular
  • Submental (unpaired)
32
Q

What muscles are part of the Submandibular triangle (3)

A
  • Mylohyoid m
  • Hyoglossus m
  • Middle constrictor m
33
Q

What glands and lymph nodes are in the submandibular triangle (2)

A
  • Submandibular gland

- Submandibular lymph nodes

34
Q

What nerve is in the submandibular triangle?

A

-Hypoglossal nerve

35
Q

What are the arteries in the submandibular triangle (2)

A
  • Facial Artery

- Submental Artery

36
Q

Where does the facial artery lie?

A

Deep to the submandibular gland

  • goes alongside of the face and supplies the face with blood
  • it has elastic modification because of the extra stretch
37
Q

Describe cervical lymphadenopathy

A

Swollen enlarged lymph nodes

38
Q

Describe the hypoglossal nerve

A
  • Motor to the tongue
  • Comes out lateral to the tongue
  • Between hyoglossus and mylohyoid
39
Q

Where do the 2 mylohyoid muscles attach to eachother?

A

At the midline

40
Q

What is the action of the mylohyoid?

A

-Depresses mandible against resistance

41
Q

What is the action of the hyoglossus?

A
  • Pulls the base of the tongue down for the food bolus

- Connects to the tongue

42
Q

What are the contents of the carotid triangle (5)

A
  • Common carotid artery (internal and external)
  • Internal jugular vein
  • Vegas nerve
  • Ansa cervicalis
  • Deep cervical lymph nodes
43
Q

Why is the bifurcation of the common carotid artery a common place for stroke?

A

The bifurcation causes a change in the current and this damages endothelium

44
Q

Describe the carotid sinus

A
  • Near the bifurcation
  • Baroreceptor (pressure)
  • Senses oxygen
  • Autonomic NS
45
Q

Describe the clinical significance of a carotid occlusion and endarterectomy

A

-Surgical procedure needed to reestablish flow after plaques

46
Q

Where does the Vagus nerve travel?

A
