- ascending cervical
- transverse cervical
-
branches off of the second part of the subclavian
costocercial trunk
-
boundary between the first part of subclavian and second part of subclavian

-
seven branches of the external carotid artery
- facial a.
- lingual a.
- posterior auricular a.
- anterior pharyngeal a.
- superior thyroid a.
- occipital a.
- Terminal braches (maxillary a. & superior temporal a.)
-
carotid sinus
located where the carotid splits into internal and external carotid a.
contains baroreceptors, which detect arterial blood pressure
on IJV
-
carotid body
contains chemoreceptors to detect the oxygen level in blood
in close relation to the carotid sinus
-
common carotid artery originates from where
L: the aorta
R: the brachiocephalic trunk
-
braches off of the 3rd part of the subclavian a.
dorsal scapular a.
(sometimes) suprascapular a.
-
what does the internal jugular vein lead into:
enters the Circle of Willis
"main blood supply to the head"
-
Nerves of the Neck
- spinal accessory nerve
- hypoglossal nerve
- vagus nerve
- cervical plexus
- brachial plexus
-
Branches of the Cervical Plexus
- ansa cervicalis
- phrenic nerve
- great auricular nerve
- lesser occipital nerve
- transverse cervical nerve
- supraclavicular nerves
-
Phrenic Nerve
lies on top of the anterior scalene m.
innervates the diaphragm
(C3, 4, & 5 keep the diaphragm alive)
-
Ansa Cervicalis
(C1, 2, 3)
found on top of the internal jugular vein, or within close proximity
-
superior root of ansa cervicalis is from where?
from the hypoglossal nerve (C1)
-
inferior root of ansa cervicalis is from where?
C2 & C3
-
lesser occipital nerve
(what does it run with?)
runs with the lesser occipital artery
-
great auricular nerve
runs behind the external jugular v. on the sternocleidomastoid m.
-
transverse cervical n.
runs across upper part of the neck - middlish (runs horizontally)
-
Brachial Plexus
C5 - T1
Ventral Primary Ramus
goes to upper extremeties between the anterior and middle scalene m.
-
Cervical Plexus
ventral primary ramus of C1 - C4 usually
-
Vagus Nerve
found thru the carotid sheath; near the common carotid a. and IJV
-
spinal accessory nerve
innervates the trapezius m. and the SCM
-
viscera of the neck:
- cervical portion of the esophagus
- trachea
- thoracic duct
- thyroid gland
- parathyroid gland
- lymph nodes (100s!)
-
thyroid gland blood supply:
superior and inferior thyroid a./ v.
middle thyroid v.
-
parts of the thyroid gland
R and L lobes
isthmus
pyramidal lobe (20% of ppl)
-
what kind of hormones does the thyroid gland secrete?
metabolic hormones
-
parathyroid glands regulate what?
regulate calcium ion in the blood of the body
-
three regions of the pharynx
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngonpharynx
-
parts of the nasopharynx
- choanae
- pharyngeal tonsils
- torus tubaris
- pharyngotympanic tube
- salpingopharyngeal fold/ muscle
-
parts of the oropharynx
- palatoglossal fold
- palatopharyngeal fold
- palatine tonsils (between folds)
- tongue
- soft plate
- lingual tonsils (tongue tonsils)
-
parts of the laryngopharynx
-
muscles of the pharynx
1. circular oriented muscles (pharyngeal constricter muscles: superior, middle, and inferior)
2. longitudinally oriented muscles (stylopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus)
3. muscles that move the soft plate (levator veli palatini, tensor veli palatini)
