30
Q

Which veins drain into the IJV?

A

Common facial vein (Facial vein + anterior division retromandibular vein)

37
Q

What do the suprahyoid mm. do?

Posterior belly

39
Q

The anterior belly of the digastric muscle is found where and what is it innervated by?

A

Digastric fossa of mandible to intermediate tendon of hyoid bone. CNV-3 (Mandibular n.)

40
Q

The posterior belly of the digastric muscle is found where and what innervates it?

A

Intermediate tendon to digastric notch (mastoid notch) of temporal bone. CNVII (Facial)

41
Q

Where is the stylohyoid muscle and what innervates it?

A

Styloid process to greater horn of hyoid bone. CN VII (Facial)

42
Q

Where is the mylohyoid muscle and what innervates it?

A

Mylohyoid line of mandible to body of hyoid bone - this elevates base of tongue and floor of mouth. (CN V-3 - Mandibular)

43
Q

What do the infrahyoids do?

A

Depress the hyoid bone and larynx, and when working with suprahyoid muscles, they can depress the mandible.

Also act in vocalization and swallowing

44
Q

Name the infrahyoid mm. 4 of them.

A

Superficial: Sternohyoidm., omohyoid (sup and inf heads)

Deep: Thyrohyoid m., sternothyroid m.

45
Q

What innervates the infrahyoid mm.?

A

Ansa cervicalis

46
Q

The longus coli and longus capitus do what?

A

Flex the neck

47
Q

Where can you find the anterior and middle scalenes?

A

T-verse processes of C3-C7 to 1st rib.

48
Q

Where can you find posterior scalenes?

A

T-verse processes C3-C7 to 2nd rib.

49
Q

What innervates the scalenes?

A

Ventral rami

50
Q

What separates the anterior and middle scalenes?

A

The brachial plexus

51
Q

What do the scalenes do?

A

Flex neck, aid in respiration

52
Q

What is the mnemonic for remembering the branches off of the ECA?

A
Some - S - Sup thyroid
