root of neck Flashcards
What are the boundaries of the root of neck
post: body of T1, head and neck of first rib
lateral: body of first rib
anterior: distal portion first rib, articulation of rib wtih manubrium
what are the o and i of anterior scalene
o: anterior tubercles of transverse processes of CV3-CV6
i: scalene tubercle of first rib
what are the actions of anterior scalene
elevates 1st rib, side bends, rotates cervical column to opp sides
both sides when acting together flex vertebral column
what inn anterior scalene
ventral rami, spinal nn C5-C7
what are the o and i of middle scalene
o: posterior tubercle transverse processes CV2-CV7
i: superior surface first rib post to groove for subclavian a
what are the actions of middle scalene
elevates 1st rib side bends and rotates cervical column
when both sides act if flexes vertebral column
what nn inn middle scalene
ventral rami, spinal nn C3-C8
What structures run between and and middle scalene
brachial plexus and subclavian a
What are signs of thoracic outlet syndrome
pain, numbness and tingling of neck medial forearm as well as 4th and 5th fingers, paresis of intrinsic mm of hand and poor circulation
Where is a brachial nerve plexus block given
injection around supraclavicular portion of brachial plexus in region superior to middle third of clavicle
o and i of posterior scalene
origin: posterior tubercles of transverse processes CV5-CV7
i: outer surface 2nd rib
what are the actions and inn of post scalene
elevates 2nd rib, sidebends and rotates cervical column, both sides acting to flex vertebral column
inn: ventral rami C7-C8 from brachial plexus
o and i of longus capitis
o: anterior tubercles of transverse processes CV3-CV6
i: inferior surface, basilar portion of occipital bone
action and inn of longus capitis
flexes head and neck, ventral rami, spinal nn C1-C4
o and i of longus colli
upper parts extend from ant surface of vertebral bodie to the transverse process of vertebra below
lower parts extend from ant surface of vertebral bodies below to the transverse process of vertebrae above
what are the actions of longus colli
flex neck and assist in rotation
upper rotate to same side
lower rotate to opp side
what is the inn of longus colli
ventral rami spinal nn C2-C7
describe the differences in arteries from L to R in neck
on the right the brachiocephalic trunk splits into subclavian and common carotid
on L common carotid comes right off arch and same with subclavian
What splits subclavian into 3 divisible parts
anterior scalene
what aa come off subclavian medial to anterior scalene
vertebral a, thyrocervical trunk and internal thoracic a
describe path of vertebral a
ascend between longus colli and ant scalene until reach CV6 then enter transverse cervical foramina and ascend through foramen magnum to fuse and form basilar
What are the branches of the thyrocervical trunks
inferior thyroid a
transverse cervical a
suprascap a
ascending cervical a
where does the inferior thyroid a run in relation to carotid sheath
posterior
what does the inferior thyroid a anastomose with
posterior branches of superior thyroid a
where is the transverse cervical a in relation to the inferior belly omohyoid
deep, medially
