    Innervation and Blood Vessels

    • The nerve innervating the Carotid Sinus is the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX).
    • The common carotid artery and internal carotid artery are covered by the carotid sheath.
    • The superior sagittal sinus drains the skull and cranial cavity.

    Veins and Arteries

    • The internal jugular vein initially lies posterior to the internal carotid artery and then moves laterally and anterior to the common carotid artery.

    Potential Spaces in the Neck

    • One true fact about the potential spaces in the neck is that the retropharyngeal space can be distended by air from the nasal cavity during inspiration.

    Clinical Relevance

    • A clinical relevance of the retropharyngeal space is that it can be involved in the spread of infection from the nasal cavity.
