Q

cervical fascial spaces

A

suprasternal
pretracheal/visceral
retropharyngeal spaces

22
Q

suprasternal space

A

made from investing fascial layers
where they fail to fuse at base of SCM
filled with fat and contains v which communicates with inf ant jugular vv

23
Q

pretracheal/visceral space

A

btwn deepest layer of infrahyoid fascia and pretracheal fascia

24
Q

retrophayngeal spaces

A

1) retropharyngeal/retrovisceral/retroesophageal
- smaller ant
- btwn buccopharyngeal and alar fascias
2) danger space
- larger post
- btwn pre-vertebral and alar/buccopharyngeal fascias

25
Q

danger space

A

can lead to retropjaryngeal abcess -> dysphagia and dysarthia
can spread to superior and post mediastinum and as far as diaphragm

26
Q

boundaries of neck

A

ant- line drawn from symphysis menti to sternal notch
post- trap
sup- indefinite line that connects the superior nuchal line, mastoid process, and inf margin of mandible to symphysis menti
inf- superior margin of clavicle, sternoclavicular joint, and sternal notch

27
Q

SCM

A

sternal head- manubrium
clavicular head- proximal 1/3 clavicle
mastoid process, superior nuchal line
unilateral- rotates head toward opposite side while elevating chin
bilateral- flex head, limited extension of atlanto-occipital joint
XI, C2,3

28
Q

torticollis

A

aka wry neck
congenital or acquired
shortening of SCM
patients head becomes side bent (same side) and rotated to opposite side

29
Q

Posterior triangle boundaries

A

trap, SCM, clavicle
subdivided by omohyoid m into:
occipital triangle
omoclavicular/subclavian/supraclavicular triangle

30
Q

occpital triangle

A

larger more superior

bounded by trap, SCM, and inf belly omohyoid

31
Q

omoclavicular triangle

A

aka subclavian
aka supraclavicular
smaller more inferior
bounded by inf belly omohyoid, SCM, clavicle

32
Q

anterior triangle

A

bounded by SCM, angle of mandible, imaginary line mid-sagitally
subdivided by digastric and omohyoid mm into:
digastric/submandibular triangle
submental triangle
carotid triangle
muscular triangle

33
Q

diagastric triangle

A

aka submandibular

bounded by inf margin of mandible and 2 bellies of diagastric m

34
Q

submental triangle

A

bounded lat by 2 opposing ant bellies of diagrastric mm and hyoid bone

35
Q

carotid triangle

A

bounded by post belly of diagastric, superior belly of omohyoid, and SCM

36
Q

muscular trianlge

A

supeior belly of omohyoid, SCM, and median line of neck to hyoid bone

37
Q

External jugular vv

A

union of post division of retromandibular and post auricular vv at angle of mandible
descends superficial to SCM, pierces investing fascia at root of neck post to clavicle, terminates at subclavian v

38
Q

tributaries of external jugular vv

A

posterior external jugular
transverse cervical
suprascapular
ant jugular

39
Q

anterior jugular vv

A

small vv in submental and submandibular regions coalesce at level of hyoid bone to form ant jugular
descends in ant triangle-> pierces investing fascia -> thru suprasternal space where it communicates w/contralateral v via jugulovenous arch -> turns lat to couse deep to SCM and join external jugular v

40
Q

C1 dorsal rami

A

only 50% of ppl have dorsal root
been taken over by C2 (greater occipital n)
small amount that remains comes from dura lining posterior cranial fossa

41
Q

C2 dorsal rami

A

greater occipital n

pierces semispinalis capitis and trap ascends to innervate skin over certex and posterolateral skull

42
Q

C3-6 dorsal rami

A

dorsal rami pierce deep musculature to reach sub Q areas on dorsal midline and extend laterally to cutaneous areas over trap

43
Q

C1-4 ventral rami

A

form cervical plexus

44
Q

C2-4 ventral rami

A

cuntaneous innervation of pinna, ant, and post to ear, lat and ant neck, upper ant thorax, and prominence of shoulder

45
Q

lesser occipital n

A

C2,3

ascends post border of SCM to innervate medial surface of ear as well as skin behind ear

46
Q

great auricular n

A

C2,3
ascends lat surface of upper half of SCM toward angle of mandible paralleling the external jugular
provides brr to skin covering mastoid process, lower portion of both surfaces of ear, and inf angle of mandible and parotid region

47
Q

transverse cervical n

A

C2,3
crosses lat surface of SCM inf to greater auricualr n and deep to external jugular v
w/in ant triangle travels deep to platysma dividing into sup and inf brr
these pierce platysma to innervate skin and subQ of ant triangle down to sternum

48
Q

supraclavicular nn

A 
C3,4
arise from common trunk which crosses portion of post triangle and divides into 3 brr
medial supraclavicular
intermediate supraclavicular
lateral supraclavicular
49
Q

medial supraclavicular n

A

crosses the inf portion of SCM to provide brr to skin at base of neck, upper sternum, and steroclavicular joint

50
Q

intermediate clavicular

A

crosses clavicle to innervate skin over pec major down to rib 3

51
Q

lateral supraclavicular

A

crosses clavicule in area of AC joint (supplying it) and cutaneous innervation to prominence of shoulder

52
Q

superficial cervical lymph nodes

A 
submental
submandibular
external jugular
