Study Notes
Anatomy of the Neck: Muscles, Landmarks, and Triangles
- The neck landmarks include the hyoid bone, upper border of thyroid cartilage, and bifurcation of carotid arteries at specific cervical levels.
- The ventral muscles of the neck include the superficial muscles such as platysma and sternocleidomastoid, with detailed information on their attachments and actions.
- The trapezius muscle primarily facilitates movement of the scapulae.
- The suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles of the neck include muscles like digastric, stylohyoid, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid, and omohyoid.
- The prevertebral muscles of the neck consist of longus colli, longus capitis, rectus capitis anterior, and rectus capitis lateralis, each with specific actions and innervation.
- The scalene muscles, including anterior, middle, and posterior scalene, have distinct functions and attachments.
- The interscalene space is a gap between the anterior and middle scalene muscles, traversed by structures like the subclavian artery and brachial plexus.
- The neck is divided into two major anatomic triangles by the sternocleidomastoid muscle: the anterior and posterior triangles.
- The anterior triangle is further divided into four subdivisions: submental, submandibular, and carotid triangles, each with specific contents and boundaries.
- The submental triangle extends from the midline of the chin to the midline of the hyoid bone and contains submental lymph nodes that drain the tongue and floor of the mouth.
- The submandibular triangle is the area between the inferior border of the mandible and the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle, containing structures like the submandibular gland and hypoglossal nerve.
- The carotid triangle is formed by the superior belly of the omohyoid, the inferior belly of the digastric, and the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
