Path of Great Auricular N
Crosses SCM parallet to External Jugular V
Innervations of Great Auricular N

Innervation of the Occipital N
- Skin of neck
- Skin of scalp posterosuperior to the auricle
Path of Transverse Cervical N
Passes transversely across the SCM
Innervation of Supraclavicular Nerves
