A

– external* jugular vein
—— posterior division of retromandibular
—– posterior auricular veins
- subclavian vein
(drains face scalp and exterior of cranium)

18
Q

retromandibular vein formed by**

A

union of superficial temporal and maxillary vein

19
Q

nerves of post cervical triangle***

A
  • XI (between SCM and trapezius)
  • brachial plexus (between ant scalene and middle scalene)
  • cervical plexus
20
Q

cervical plexus (what it is and location***)

A

VENTRAL RAMI c1-c4

located DEEP to internal jugular vein and SCM

21
Q

branches of cervical plexus

A
  • lesser occipital nerve (c2)
  • greater auricular nerve (c2-c3)
  • transverse cervical cutaneous nerve (c2-c3)
  • supraclavicular nerve (c3-c4)
  • phrenic nerve (c3 c4 c5)
  • ansa cervicali
22
Q

importance of greater auricular nerve**

A

C2-C3
accompanies External Jugular Vein
supplies skin over the angle of the mandible

23
Q

importance of supraclavicular nerve***

A

c3-c4
divides into medial intermediate and lateral branches

  • medial branch supplies sternoclavicular joint
  • lateral branch supplies acromioclavicular joint
24
Q

importance of ansa cervicalis (location)**

A

loop from cervical plexus

  • supplies infra hyoid muscles of neck
  • embedded in carotid sheath but NOT a content of the sheath
25
Q

boundaries of anterior cervical triangle

A

Ant- median line of neck
post- anterior border of SCM
superior- inferior border of mandible

apex is at jugular notch

26
Q

    stylohyoid VII
    geniohyoid XII
    digastric
27
Q

digastric muscle** Bellies and innervation

A

Anterior belly from fossa of mandible ( innervated by nerve to mylohyoid V)

posterior belly from mastoid process ( VII)

28
Q

innervation of thyrohyoid muscle**

A

C1 fibers of CN XII

29
Q

carotid sheath surrounds what*

other structures are within the sheath

31
Q

where does the common carotid artery divide into internal and external carotid arteries***

A

at level of thyroid cartilage C4 C5

32
Q

carotid sinus

A

dilation of proximal part of ICA , innervated by IX and X

- baroreceptor that regulates blood pressure

33
Q

carotid body

A

mass of tissue at bifurcation of common carotid

- chemoreceptor (responds to increase of C02 or decrease in PH)

34
Q

superficial cervical fascia encloses*

35
Q

superficial layer of deep cervical fascia splits where and covers what***

A

splits at mandible

  • covers masseter laterally
  • medial surface of medial pterygoid
36
Q

superficial layer of deep cervical fascia enclose*

A 
SCM
trapezius
submandibular 
parotid
- forms floor of submandibular space
37
Q

middle layer of deep cervical fascia envelops*

A 
thyroid 
trachea
esophagus
larynx
pharynx
38
Q

muscular division of deep cervical fascia*

A

superior border- hyoid and thyroid cartilage
inferior border- sternum clavicle and scapula
envelops infrahyoid strap muscles

39
