    Study Notes

    Lecture Objectives

    • The lecture will cover compartments and fascia of the neck
    • The lecture will also cover organs of the neck

    Neck Anatomy: Superficial Muscles and Fascia

    • Superficial muscles include the platysma, sternocleidomastoid, and trapezius
    • Superficial muscles are invested by superficial fascia
    • The superficial fascia includes skin and superficial fat
    • Triangles of the neck include the anterior, posterior, and submental triangles
    • Digastric triangle (located beneath the mandible)
    • Carotid triangle
    • Muscular triangle

    Neck Anatomy: Viscera and Vessels

    • Viscera
      • Thyroid gland
      • Trachea
      • Esophagus
      • These are surrounded by a pretracheal fascia
    • Vessels
      • Internal jugular vein
      • Carotid arteries
      • Vagus nerve (cranial nerve X)
      • These are surrounded by the carotid sheath

    Neck Anatomy: Deep Muscles

    • Deep muscles include the prevertebral muscles (longus colli and scalene muscles)
    • Deep muscles are covered by prevertebral fascia
    • Nerves
      • Cervical plexus (C1-C4)
      • Brachial plexus (C5-T1): contributing to the upper limb

    Anatomical Relationships and Boundaries

    • Nasal Cavities are separated by a nasal septum
    • Nasal cavities are bordered by the nasal septum, hard palate, and roof of the mouth
    • Nasopharynx and Oropharynx are separated by the soft palate
    • Oropharynx and Laryngopharynx are separated by the epiglottis
