The cervix is more tightly connected to surrounding structures than the rest of the uterus. [7] The cervical canal varies greatly in length and width between women or over the course of a woman's life, [3] and it can measure 8 mm (0.3 inch) at its widest diameter in premenopausal adults. [8] It is wider in the middle and narrower at each end.
Transverse cervical nerve - innervates anterior region of neck (C2 and C3) Supraclavicular nerves - innervate the skin above and below the clavicle (C3-C4) [6] [clarification needed] Muscular Ansa cervicalis - a loop formed by C1-C3 that supplies most infrahyoid (a.k.a. "strap") muscles (sternothyroid, sternohyoid, omohyoid muscles) etc.
The cervical spinal nerve 8 (C8) ... The C8 nerve contributes to the motor innervation of many of the muscles in the trunk and upper limb. Its primary function is the ...
The ansa cervicalis (or ansa hypoglossi in older literature [citation needed]) is a loop formed by muscular branches of the cervical plexus formed by branches of cervical spinal nerves C1-C3. The ansa cervicalis has two roots - a superior root (formed by branch of C1) and an inferior root (formed by union of branches of C2 and C3) - that unite ...
The cervical plexus is formed by the ventral rami of the upper four cervical nerves and the upper part of fifth cervical ventral ramus. The network of rami is located deep to the sternocleidomastoid within the neck. The cervical plexus innervates muscles of the neck and areas of skin on the head, neck and chest.
The vagina is an important part of the female anatomy, but many people know very little about it. ... For most women, she says, that's the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, which typically ...
The transverse cervical nerve (superficial cervical or cutaneous cervical) is a cutaneous (sensory) nerve of the cervical plexus that arises from the second and third cervical spinal nerves (C2-C3). It curves around the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus muscle , then pierces the fascia of the neck before dividing into two branches.
The cervical spinal nerve 6 (C6) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 6 (C6). The C6 nerve root shares a common branch from C5, and has a role in innervating many muscles of the rotator cuff and distal arm, [2] including: Subclavius; Supraspinatus; Infraspinatus ...
