NECK - spaces and triangles Flashcards
What does the fascia cervical superficial cover?
Basically all of the ebck, but mostly covers fat.
What does the lamina superficial/revestimiento fascia cervical profunda cover?
ECM and trapezoid muscles
What does the lamina media;pretraqueal cover?
It covers the infrahyoid/rectus muscles of the neck and has two vainas: vaina carotideo and vaina visceral
What does the vaina carotideo include?
v. jugular int
art carotid comun (caudally)//art carotid intern (craneally)
vagus nerve (X)
What does the vaina visceral contain?
Thyroid gland, trachea and oesophagus
What does the central/visceral compartment contain?
trachea, oesophagus and the thyroid glands
What is a special feature of the retropharyngeal space?
It stretches from the base of the cranium to the mediastanum. In front of it is the danger space.
What does the vascular/carotid space contain?
v. jugular int
art carotid comun (caudally)//art carotid intern (craneally)
vagus nerve (X)
covered by the carotid sheath
What does the prevertebral space contrain?
Hay una zona laterovertebral, donde se encuentran los escalenos,
y un espacio posterior, donde se encuentran los músculos de la nuca.
What are the limits of the posterior triangle ?
Anterior surface of the Trapezoid
Post surface of the ECM
the calvicle
What other triangles does the posterior triangle of the neck contain, if any?
- The occipital triangle
- the omoclavicular/supraclavicular mayor traingles.
They’re seperated by the posterior belly of the omohyoid muscle.
Where is the supraclavicular menor or the sedillot fossa?
It is found between the two origins of the ECM (clavicle and sternon).
What are the contents of the occipital traingle?
- Punto de ERB (superior third and medial third of the ECM)
- las ramas sensitivas del plexo cervical (n. occipital menor, n. cervicales transversos, nervios supraclaviculares, n.
auricular mayor). - os escalenos o los esplenios
What are the contents of the fossita de sedillot?
v. jugular interna
What are the contents of the omoclavicular triangle?
en el fondo encontramos el plexo braquial, la arteria y vena subclavia, por el hiato de los escalenos.
What are the limits of the hiato de los scalenos ?
- Anteriorly by the anterior scalene
- Posteriorly by the medial scalene
- Inferiorly by the first rib
What are the contents of the hiato de los escalenos?
- Plexo braquial
- art. subclavia
