Cranial Nerve XI

accessory nerve that controls the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles

Musculocutaneous Nerve

arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus and pierces the coracobrachialis. lies opposite the lower border of the pectoralis major, it's fibers derived from C5, C6, and C7

Cranial Nerve VII

facial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression. Cervical branch of the facial nerve runs forward beneath the platysma

Long Thoracic Nerve

supplies the serratus anterior

Jugular Foramen

transmits the glossopharyngeal (CN IX), vagus (CN X), and accessory (CN XI) nerves

Transverse Foramen

opening in the transverse process of the cervical vertebra and gives passage to the vertebral artery, vertebral vein, and a sympathetic nerve plexus

Foramen Magnum

transmits the medulla oblongata, vertebral arteries, anterior and posterior spinal arteries

Superior Orbital Fissure

transmits oculomotor nerve (CN III), trochlear nerve (CN IV), abducens nerve (CN VI), opthalmic nerve

Latissimus Dorsi

responsible for extension, adduction

Pectoralis Major

adducts and medially rotates the humerus

Coracobrachialis

adducts the humerus and flexes the arm at the glenohumeral joint

Deltoid

shoulder abduction, flexion, and extension

Axillary Artery

divided by the pectoralis minor into 3 parts. continues as the brachial artery. commences at the outer border of the first rib. terminates at the lower border of the teres major

Phrenic Nerve

runs along the surface of the anterior scalene

Greater Occipital Nerve

spinal nerve, specifically the medial branch of the dorsal primary ramus of cervical spinal nerve 2

Pectoralis Minor

landmark in the axilla, closely related to the lateral thoracic artery, cords of the brachial plexus, and the medial pectoral nerve

Cubital Fossa

Also called antecubital fossa because it lies anteriorly to the elbow. superior boundary imaginary line between humeral epicondyle, medial boundary pronator teres, lateral boundary brachioradialis muscle, floor of the brachialis muscle

Basilic Vein

receives veinous drainage from the medial end of the dorsal veinous arch. connects with the cephalic vein around the region of the cubital fossa

Cranial Nerve V

trigeminal nerve is a nerve responsible for sensation in the face and certain motor functions. largest of the cranial nerves, innervates ALL the muscles of mastication

Profunda Brachii

arises from the lateral and posterior part of the brachial artery, it follows closely the radial nerve

Masseter

one of the strongest muscles of mastication

Ulnar Nerve

runs near the ulna bone and becomes superficial as it passes behind the medial epicondyle on its way to the forearm

Cervical Plexus

does NOT innervate the skin over the external occipital protuberance

Tail of Spence

extension of the tissue of the breast that extends into the axilla. it is named after Scottish Surgeon James Spence

Superior Thyroid Artery

arises from the external carotid artery. during ligation, the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve can be easily injured

Prevertebral Fascia

encloses sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle
