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 |
