Posterior Cervicle Triangle Flashcards
What is the insertion of the sternoleidomastoid sternal head?
Temporal bone (mastoid process) ; occipital bone ( superior nuchal line)
What is the innervation of the sternoleidomastoid sternal head?
Motor: accessory nerve CN XI
Pain and proprioception: Cervical Plexus (C2, C3)
What is the action of the sternoleidomastoid sternal head?
Unilateral: Tilts head to same side; rotates head to opposite side
Bilateral: extends head, aids in respiration when head is fixed
What is the origin of the sternoleidomastoid clavicular head?
Clavicle [lol] (medial one third)
What is the insertion of the sternoleidomastoid clavicular head?
temporal bone (mastoid process) ; occipital bone (superior nuchal line)
What is the innervation of the sternoleidomastoid clavicular head?
Motor: Accessory nerve CN XI
Pain and proprioception: Cervical Plexus (C2, C3)
What is the action of the sternoleidomastoid clavicular head?
Unilateral: Tilts head to same side, rotates head opposite side
Bilateral: Extends head, aids in respiration when head is fixed
What is the origin of the anterior scalene?
C3-C6 (anterior tubercles of transverse processes)
What is the insertion of the anterior scalene?
1st rib ( scalene tubercle)
What is the innervation of the anterior scalene?
Direct branches from cervical and brachial plexus (C3-C8)
What is the action of the anterior scalene?
With ribs mobile: raises upper ribs (inspiration)
With ribs fixed: bends cervical spine to same side (unilateral); flexes neck (bilateral)
What is the origin of the middle scalene?
C1-C2 (transverse processes)
C3-C7 (posterior tubercles of transverse processes)
What is the insertion of the middle scalene?
1st rib (posterior to groove for subclavian a.)
What is the innervation of the middle scalene?
Direct branches from cervical and brachial plexus (C3-C8)
What is the action of the middle scalene?
With ribs mobile: raises upper ribs (inspiration)
With ribs fixed: bends cervical spine to same side (unilateral); flexes neck (bilateral)
