Study Notes

Regions of the Neck

Four main regions: lateral cervical, anterior cervical, SCM (sternocleidomastoid) muscle, trapezius muscle.
Diagrams can provide a comprehensive view of the neck's anatomical regions.

Muscles in the Neck

The descending part of the trapezius muscle is significant as a region of the neck.
Four standard muscles are always found in the lateral cervical region: levator scapulae, splenius capitis, middle scalene, posterior scalene.
The anterior scalene muscle may occasionally be classified within the lateral cervical region.

Anterior Cervical Region

All muscles in the anterior cervical region connect to the hyoid bone.
There are nine identified muscles present in the anterior cervical region.
Four suprahyoid muscles exist in this region: mylohyoid, geniohyoid, stylohyoid, digastric.
Five infrahyoid muscles are part of the anterior cervical region: sternohyoid, omohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid, cricothyroid.

Specific Muscle Functions

The cricothyroid muscle plays a crucial role in stretching and relaxing the vocal cords, thereby impacting voice modulation.
