Accesory nerve innervates
trapezius muscle, sternocladomastoid
. Investing layer/superficial layer/cervical fascia which encloses
trapezius and sternocladomastoid
Prevertebral fascia as it descends past the C7 it continues as
thoracolumbar fascia and both can be referred to as vertebral fascia
Visceral fascia is related to
upper part of the respiratory tract and upper digestive tract, thyroid gland
Visceral fascia can be divided into 2
one that is anteriorlateral to the trachea which is called pretrachial fascia. . Buckle pharyngeal fascia is the most posterior aspect of the visceral compartment
Carotid sheath is formed by the close association of
visceral, investing and prevertebral fascia
Retropharyngeal space. Its boundaries are
anteriorly: the posterior aspect of the buckle-pharyngeal fascia and posteriorly the prevertebral fascia
The fucnction of the retropharyngeal fascia is to
allow the movemetnt of visceral fascia during swallowing and fonating
Alar fascia. The attachment of the investing fascia follows around the mandible jumps over to the mastoid process, and to the superior nuchal line so it deliniates
the superior extend of the neck
Anteriorly the prevertebral layer blends with anterior aspect of the periostium of vertebral column and anterior longitudinal ligament so it is a definitive sheath because
it’s no longer present once it reaches its inferior part. Mostly due to the fact that there are no more prevertebral muscles down the neck
. Pretracheal space is in between
the infrahyoid fascia and pretracheal fascia. All these spaces are important because they can store abscess.
Borders of the posterior triangle
Apex: Occipital Bone
Anterior: posterior border Sternocleidomastoid
Inferior: Middle third of clavicle
Posterior: anterior border trapezius
Superficial (roof): superficial layer of the deep cervical fascia
Deep (floor): splenius capitis, levator scapulae, posterior scalene, middle scalene, omohyoid, and anterior scalene.
covered by prevertebral fascia
in contact with the deep surface of the platysma muscle
• Supraclavicular nerves, transverse cervical nerve, and external jugular vein
Platysma muscle sits in which fascia>
superficial fascia
Platisma muscle inferiorly passes
superior to the clavicle and it attaches to the superficial fascia of the deltoid and pectorial regions
Plastima muscle superiorly attaches to
Angle of the mouth, mandible, orbicularis oris muscle, and skin of the cheek,
Platysma is innvervated by
Facial Nerve
Between the two heads (sternal head and clavicular head) of the sternocleidomastoid there is
The space where a catheter can be inserted into the internal jugular vein
External Jugular vein is found in between which fascia?
Superficial fascia deep to the platisma muscle
Which fascia is pierced by the external jugular vein
superficial layer of the deep cervical fascia/investing fascia to then go and drain into the subclavian vein (around the middle of the clavicle)
*stab wound to the external jugular vein causes lumen of the vein to be
held open and you start to suck air into it causing patient to turn and hear churning noise so Dr. need to be finger over hole
External Jugular vein is formed by
posterior retromandibular vein and posterior auricular vein behind the angle of the mandible
Cervical Plexus gives cutaneous innvervation to
to the neck and posterior head
Cervical Plexus can be anesthetized but one most be extremely careful because
phrenic nerve so don’t want to give to someone who has pulmonary problems
Located at
: 2/3 up the SCM – nerve point of the neck
Great auricular nerve (C2 and C3) innervates
skin of the lower part of the ear and skin extending from angle of mandible to mastoid process (only part of face that has sensory innervation not from CN V)!!!
Lesser occipital nerve (C2) innverates
part of the scalp that is immediately behind the ear
Transverse cervical nerve (C2, C3) innervates
skin of the anterior triangle of the neck
Supraclavicular nerve (C3, C4) innervates
the skin of the shoulder
Spinal Accessory Nerve (CN XI) location in relation to the investing fascia
• Located deep to the investing layer of deep cervical fascia
Spinal Accessory Nerve (CN XI) innervates
sternocleidomastoid and trapezius.
