|
What are the 4 areas of deep cervical fascia?
|
Investing fascia: Envelops the SCM & trapezius
Pretracheal fascia: Covers anterior aspect of neck (thyroid, trachea, esophagus) Prevertebral fascia: Covers the prevertebral muscles & is continuous with fascia covering floor of posterior triangle Carotid sheath: Contains common carotid, internal jugular, vagus nerve, and part of the ansa cervicalis |
|
How is the retropharyngeal space defined?
|
Potential space between the pretracheal fascia and prevertbral fascia
|
|
What are the boundaries of the posterior triangle?
|
Anterior: SCM
Posterior: Trapezius Inferior: Middle 1/3 of clavicle Roof: Investing fascia (covers scm & trap) Floor: Deep cervical fascia |
|
What vein is found in the posterior triangle?
|
External jugular vein
|
|
What arteries are found in the posterior triangle?
|
- 3rd part of the subclavian
- Transverse cervical runs superficially and laterally across the posterior triangle to supply scapular region muscles - Suprascapula artery: Branches from thyrocervical trunk passes across the inferior part of the posterior triangle but may also arise from the 3rd part of the subclavian artery - Occipital artery: Branch from the external carotid |
|
What nerves are found in the posterior triangle?
|
- CN XI: From lower half of posterior triangle. Enters near posterior border of SCM. Passes posteroinferiorly through the posterior triangle
- Cervical plexus: Deep to internal jugular vein - Phrenic nerve |
|
What muscles are in the posterior triangle?
|
Omohyoid. The omohyoid divides the posterior triangle into 2 smaller triangles: The occipital triangle (through which the occipital artery passes) and the supraclavicular triangle (subclavian artery lies deep to this)

|
Inferior and parallel to the splenius capitis. The spinal accessory nerve is usually found on the surface of the levator scapulae
|
