    Study Notes

    Muscles of the Neck

    • Digastric muscle is the primary depressor of the mandible and elevator of the hyoid bone.
    • Ansa cervicalis innervates the infrahyoid muscles.

    Arteries of the Neck

    • Internal thoracic artery is not a branch of the external carotid artery.

    Cervical Plexus

    • Innervates the diaphragm is the primary function of the cervical plexus.

    Anterior Triangle of the Neck

    • Bounded by the midline of the neck, the inferior border of the mandible, and the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. describes the anatomy of the anterior triangle of the neck.

    Investing Layer of Fascia

    • Envelopes the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

    Pretracheal Fascia

    • Supporting the thyroid gland is not a function of the pretracheal fascia.

    Diaphragm Innervation

    • Phrenic nerve is the primary nerve that innervates the diaphragm.

    Scalene Muscles

    • Longus colli muscle is not one of the scalene muscles grouped within the prevertebral fascia.

    Structures Deep to the Trachea

    • Esophagus is primarily located deep to the trachea.

    Branches of the External Carotid Artery

    • Superior thyroid artery is a branch of the external carotid artery.

    Location of the Anterior Triangle of the Neck

    • Located anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle describes the location of the anterior triangle of the neck.

    Carotid Sheath

    • Common carotid artery, internal jugular vein, and vagus nerve are encompassed by the carotid sheath.

    Strap (Infrahyoid) Muscles

    • Stylohyoid muscle is not one of the strap (infrahyoid) muscles.

    Submandibular Gland

    • Submandibular triangle contains the submandibular gland.

    Functions of the Cervical Plexus

    • Sensory innervation to the skin of the neck and shoulder is one of the primary functions of the cervical plexus.

    Roof of the Anterior Triangle

    • Platysma muscle forms the roof of the anterior triangle.

    Superficial Branches of the Cervical Plexus

    • Transverse cervical nerve is not a superficial branch of the cervical plexus.
