23
Q

superior thyroid artery? What is the name of its branch?

A

1st branch of anterior ECA
*which supplies the superior part of the thyroid gland, and it gives off a superior laryngeal artery, which supplies blood to the larynx

24
Q

lingual artery

A

2nd branch of anterior ECA

*which goes to the oral cavity (tongue)

25
Q

facial artery

A

3rd branch of anterior ECA

*all of the muscles of facial expression

26
Q

Terminal branches of ECA supply?

A

All teeth, deep structures of the face

27
Q

Name the terminal branches of ECA?

A

1) Maxillary a.

2) Superficial temporal a.

28
Q

Maxillary a. supplies?

A

1st branch of terminal ECA
*gives off at least 17 branches; supplies the mandibular teeth, maxillary teeth, and associated structures (muscles of mastication)

29
Q

Superficial temporal a.

A

2nd branch of terminal ECA

  • Continuation of maxillary upward; splits into a bunch of branches and supplies the lateral scalp
  • supplies lateral scalp (transverse facial to lateral face)
30
Q

what are the branches of Superficial temporal a. (2nd branch of terminal ECA)

A

1) Transverse facial a.
2) Frontal branches
3) Parietal branches

31
Q

Name the posterior branches of ECA?

A

1) Posterior auricular a.

2) Occipital a.

32
Q

Posterior auricular a.

A

1st branch of posterior ECA

*Goes behind the ear to the posterolateral scalp (posterolateral scalp)

33
Q

Occipital a.

A

2nd branch of posterior ECA

*Occipital region of the scalp (posterolateral scalp)

34
Q

Internal carotid artery (ICA) supplies?

A

Brain via Circle of Willis
**the deep structures of the face and the
scalp

35
Q

What are the names Internal carotid artery (ICA) segments? And what is their location/course?

A

1) cerebral part- goes up to the cerebrum to form the circle of Willis
2) cavernous part- runs along cavernous sinus
3) petroud part- courses through petrous part of the temporal bone (encased in
bone)
4) cervical part- runs along cervical vertebra

36
Q

BS to the thyroid gland comes from both?

A

subclavian via thryocervical trunk and superior thyroid artery via ECA

37
Q

Path of all segments of ICA?

A

Cervical part is ascending and enters into the carotid foramen, where is courses through the petrous part of the tympanic bone and emerges at the
internal opening of the carotid canal, then it runs alongside the sella turcica as the cavernous part and then comes up right next to the anterior clivoid process as the cerebral part and enters the circle of Willis

38
Q

What was the cut artery that we saw in lab as the anterior part of circle of Willis?

A

internal carotid artery (ICA)

39
Q

Inferior thyroid v. drains into?

A

drains directly into brachiocephalic veins

40
Q

how does the branchiocephalic vein enter the heart?

A

branchiocephalic has to cross all the way over becuase it enters the superior vena cava on the right side of the heart

41
Q

Anterior jugular vein drains what region?

A

region within the submental triangle

42
Q

External jugular vein drains? Runs beneath what?

A

drains the more superficial face

*runs beneath the platysma and dumps into the subclavian

43
Q

Phrenic n. is associated with what muscle?

A

anterior scalene (courses over it)

44
Q

Brachial plexus is found between what muscles?

A

between the anterior and middle scalene

45
Q

vagus n is found within?

A

within the carotid sheath next to common carotid and internal jugular

46
Q

Sympathetic chain carries what info?

A

sympathetic up to the head (along vertebra)

47
Q

Recurrent laryngeal nerve is a branch off of?

What is unique/weird?

A

Branch of vagus nerve

**has weird looping: left side loops around the arch of the aorta and on the right side it loops under the subclavian

48
Q

C5 and C6 come together to form the ____ trunk of brachial plexus

A

superior trunk

49
Q

What forms middle trunk of brachial plexus?

A

C7

50
Q

What forms inferior trunk of brachial plexus?

A

C8-T1

51
Q

Dorsal scapular nerve off of

A

C5 (rhomboids and levator scapulae)

52
Q

Suprascapular nerve off of

A

superior trunk (supraspinatus and infraspinatus)

53
Q

Long thoracic nerve off of

A

C5, C6, and C7 (serratus anterior)

54
Q

As the Sympathetic chain continues up; and we get to the cervical region, instead of having ganglia at each level you have?

A

3 ganglia total

*Superior cervical ganglion, middle cervical ganglion, and inferior cervical ganglion

55
Q

Location of 3 cervical ganglia?

A 
Inferior = right behind subclavian artery
Middle = right next to thyroid gland
Superior = higher, near C2
