Q

What is innervation of all infra-hoid muscles, except the thyrohyoid.

A

The Inferior and superior bellies of the omohyoid muscle, Sternohyoid, and

27
Q

Innervation of the thyrohyoid?

A

Nerve to the thyrohyoid (C1 traveling with Hypoglossal nerve CN XII)

28
Q

What is the general function of the infrahyoid muscles?

A

The infrahyoid muscles function to lower either the hyoid or thyroid cartilages, and to stabilize them during vocalization and jaw opening.

35
Q

Motion positions of Anterior triangle on your neck.

36
Q

Contents of the Submandibular triangle?

A

Submandibular gland
Submandibular lymph nodes

Mylohyoid nerve (V3)
Lingual nerve (V3) and submandibular ganglion
 Hypoglossal nerve (XII)
Facial artery (and vein) with submental branch
Lingual artery (passes deep to Hyoglossus muscle)
37
Q

Orientation of the facial vein and artery in the submandibular triangle?

A

the facial vein passes superficial to the submandibular gland, whereas the facial artery passes deep/through the submandibular gland.

38
Q

What’s inside the submental triangle?

A

Contains lymph nodes and small veins that unite to form anterior jugular vein

39
Q

Contents of the carotid triangle?

A

The Carotid Triangle contains:

The superior portion of the common carotid artery

A large part of the internal carotid artery

The external carotid artery and many of its branches

Portions of Cranial Nerves X (vagus), XI (spinal accessory), XII (hypoglossal), the sympathetic chain, and the cervical plexus (ansa cervicalis)

40
Q

What are the branches of the common carotid and where does it divide?

A

The common carotid artery divides into the internal and external carotid arteries at the hyoid bone.

41
Q

What does the internal carotid artery supply?

A

Internal carotid artery - ascends the neck to enter the cranial cavity to supply the orbit, pituitary gland, and a majority of the cerebral hemisphere

42
Q

What are the branches of the internal jugular vein?

A

No branches!!

43
Q

What are the branches of the external carotid artery?

A

SALFOP SuperT Max

Superior Thyroid Artery 
Ascending Pharyngeal Artery
Lingual Artery
Facial Artery
OccipitalArtery
Posterior Auricular Artery

Superficial Temporal Artery

Maxillary Artery

44
Q

What are the branches of the Vagus nerve?

A

The Vagus nerve divides to give off 2 branches:

Superior Laryngeal nerve
Recurrent laryngeal nerve

45
Q

What are the branches of the superior laryngeal nerve?

A

Superior Laryngeal nerve - this nerve divides to form two branches:

Internal laryngeal nerve
External laryngeal nerve

46
Q

What does the internal laryngeal nerve innervate?

A

Internal laryngeal nerve -pierces the thyrohyoid membrane to provide sensory innervation to laryngeal structures above the true vocal folds.

47
Q

What does the external laryngeal nerve innervate?

A

External laryngeal nerve - supply the cricothyroid muscle of the larynx

48
Q

What does the recurrent laryngeal nerve innervate?

A

Right: loops around the subclavian artery and provides motor innervation to all of the muscles of vocalization (except the cricothyroid muscle)

Left: wraps around the arch of the aorta

49
Q

What is the cause and symptoms of Horner’s syndrome?

A

Interruption of the sympathetic chain in the neck causes Horner’s Syndrome.

Symptoms: ptosis (drooping) of the affected eyelid, miosis (constriction) of the affected pupil, and anhydrosis (lack of sweating) on the affected side. Redding of the skin of the face is also frequently present on the affected side

Thyrocervical trunk (S.A.I.T.):
	- Inferior Thyroid artery 
	- Transverse Cervical artery  
	- Suprascapular artery 
	- Ascending Cervical artery

51
Q

What are the groups of lymph nodes?

A 
occipital nodes
postauricular (retroauricular) nodes
preauricular nodes
Buccal (cheek)
submandibular nodes
submental nodes
52
Q

Where do lymphatics of the face and head drain? (Full route)

A

Lymphatics of the face and head drain inferiorly into the pericervical lymphatic collar, to deep cervical lymph nodes, into the internal jugular vein, and finally then into the THORACIC DUCT ON THE LEFT and the RIGHT LYMPHATIC DUCT ON THE RIGHT.

53
Q

Describe drainage into the thoracic duct.

A

The thoracic duct is located on the left side only and receives lymphatic drainage from the entire body EXCEPT the right head and neck, right upper extremity, and the right thorax

54
Q

Describe drainage into the lymphatic duct.

A

The right lymphatic duct is responsible for lymphatic drainage of that part of the body not drained by the thoracic duct (right head and neck, right upper extremity, and the right thorax).

Drains into either the right internal jugular or right subclavian vein

55
Q

What is the blood supply of the thyroid gland?

A

The superior and inferior thyroid arteries.

56
Q

How many lobes does the thyroid gland have?

57
Q

The pyramidal lobe comes from what embryological remnant?

A

The thyroglossal duct

58
Q

What innervates the thyroid gland?

A

59
Q

How many parathyroid glands are there?

A

4 (2 on each side)

60
Q

What is the function of the parathyroid gland?

A

The parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in the body by secreting parathyroid hormone.

61
