Neck osteo, myo, athro Flashcards
which cartilage lies on top the arytenoid apex
corniculate cartilage
describe the atlanto-occipital joint
C1-occipital bone
- condyloid joint
- *ligaments change names
1. ALL–>anterior atlantooccipital L.
2. PLL–> tectorial membrane
3. LF–> posterior atlantooccipital L.
which muscles stretches and tenses the vocal fold
cricothryoid M. innervated by external laryngeal N.
what nerves innervates most of the infra hyoid muscles
ansa cervicalis
(expect for thryohyoid M. by C1 via hypoglossal N.
*sternohyoid, sternothryoid, thryohyoid, and omohyoid
what are the 2 pharyngeal ligaments
- stylohyoid L. (styloid process of temporal bone to lessor horn of hyoid bone)
- pterygomandibular raphe (sphenoid L. to mandible)
what ligament holds the critical cartilage
lateral thyrohyoid ligament (connect the superior horn of the thyroid cartilage to the greater horn of the hyoid bone)
in regards to spreading of infection (relative to fascia of neck) where will it go if it is between the investing layer and muscular pretracheal layer of deep cervical fascia (in investing) ? between investing layer and visceral pretracheal (in pretracheal) ? in retrophrangyal space?
- stops of manubrium
- spread to anterior thorax-mediastinum
- swelling will affect swallowing and speech and spread to thorax (inferior to mediastinum)
what passes through the transverse foramen of at the Atlas (C1)
vertebral A.
what nerve innervates most of the laryngeal muscles
recurrent laryngeal N.
except for cricothyroid M. gets external laryngeal N.
what laryngeal cartilage is in the quandragular space
cuneiform cartilage
contents of the submandibular and submittal triangles
submandibular: submandibular gland, hypoglossal N. , nerve to mylohyoid M. and parts of facial A.
submental: submental A. / LNs/ V.
what boney part of the skull articulates with the atlas
occipital condyle
describe the subdivided divisions of the posterior triangle
the inferior belly of the omohyoid M. divides it into:
- occipital triangle (superior)
- external jugular vein, posterior branches of cervical plexus, and transverse cervical A. [ P E T] - supraclavicular triangle (inferior)
- 3rd part subclavian A. and suprascapular A. ( S S )
describe the atlanto-axial joint
C1-C2
- compound synovial (trochoid pivot and planar)
- cruciate L. (superior longitudinal band, inferior longitudinal band, transverse L. of the atlas)
- Alar L. (dens to lateral margin of foramen magnum)
- apical L. (apex of dens to middle foramen magnum)
what are the 8 bones of the skull
- temporal bone (2)
- occipital bone
- parietal bone (2)
- sphenoid bone
- frontal bone
- ethmoid
which cartilage is a full ring around the larynx
cricoid cartilage
what is the fascia of the neck
- superficial cervical fascia (fatty layer)
- deep cervical fascia
- investing layer (wraps everything; superficial to other layers)
- pretracheal layer (wraps trachea, esophagus, infra hyoid muscles, and thyroid gland)
- prevertebral layer ( surrounds vertebral column, ligaments, and muscles)
the supraspinpous L. becomes wait as it runs cephalad
the nuchal L.
what is the retropharngeal space and why is it important
behind pharynx and between the prevertebral and pretracheal fascia layers
-it is the danger spot for infections to spread into the thorax and swelling will affect swallowing and speech
what is wrapped in the carotid sheath of neck fascia
- common carotid
- internal jugular v.
- vagus nerve
