The triangles of the neck describe the divisions created by the major muscles in the region.. The side of the neck presents a somewhat quadrilateral outline, limited, above, by the lower border of the body of the mandible, and an imaginary line extending from the angle of the mandible to the mastoid process; below, by the upper border of the clavicle; in front, by the middle line of the neck ...
The roof of this triangle is formed by the cutaneous nerves of cervical plexus and the external jugular vein and platysma muscle. A chain of lymph glands is also found running along the posterior border of the Sternocleidomastoideus, from the mastoid process to the root of the neck.
The top section of the spine is the cervical section, which contains nerves that innervate muscles of the head, neck and thoracic cavity, as well as transmit sensory information to the CNS. The cervical spine section contains seven vertebrae, C-1 through C-7, and eight nerve pairs, C-1 through C-8.
The posterior view contains, from superior to inferior, the cervical region encompassing the neck, the scapular region encompassing the scapulae and the area around, the dorsal region encompassing the upper back; the lumbar region encompassing the lower back. the sacral region occurring at the end of the spine, directly above the buttocks.
The nerves descend in the posterior triangle of the neck beneath the platysma muscle and the deep cervical fascia. [citation needed] Near the clavicle, the supraclavicular nerves perforate the fascia and the platysma muscle to become cutaneous. They are arranged, according to their position, into three groups—anterior, middle, and posterior. [2]
The prevertebral fascia represents the floor of the posterior triangle of the neck. [3] The cervical sympathetic trunk lies upon it. [4]: 600 The prevertebral fascia borders the vertebral compartment of the neck. [2] It forms the posterior limit of a fibrous compartment, which contains the larynx and trachea, the thyroid gland, and the pharynx ...
In anatomy, the neck is also referred to as the cervix or collum. However, when the term cervix is used alone, it often refers to the uterine cervix , the neck of the uterus. [ 3 ] Therefore, the adjective cervical can refer either to the neck (as in cervical vertebrae or cervical lymph nodes ) or to the uterine cervix (as in ...
