  2. Nerve point of neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_point_of_neck

    Injury to Erb's point is commonly sustained at birth or from a fall onto the shoulder.The nerve roots normally involved are C5 and partly C6. Symptoms include paralysis of the biceps, brachialis, and coracobrachialis (through the musculocutaneous nerve); the brachioradialis (through the radial nerve); and the deltoid (through the axillary nerve).

  3. Posterior branches of cervical nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_branches_of...

    It enters the suboccipital triangle and supplies the muscles which bound this triangle, viz., the Rectus capitis posterior major, and the Obliquus capitis superior and Obliquus capitis inferior; it gives branches also to the Rectus capitis posterior minor and the Semispinalis capitis. A filament from the branch to the Obliquus capitis inferior ...

  4. Supraclavicular nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraclavicular_nerves

    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]

  5. Dorsal ramus of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_ramus_of_spinal_nerve

    The dorsal ramus of spinal nerve, posterior ramus of spinal nerve, or posterior primary division is the posterior division of a spinal nerve. The dorsal rami provide motor innervation to the deep (a.k.a. intrinsic or true) muscles of the back, and sensory innervation to the skin of the posterior portion of the head, neck and back. [1]

  6. Suboccipital triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suboccipital_triangle

    The suboccipital triangle is a region of the neck bounded by the following three muscles of the suboccipital group of muscles: Rectus capitis posterior major - above and medially; Obliquus capitis superior - above and laterally; Obliquus capitis inferior - below and laterally (Rectus capitis posterior minor is also in this region but does not ...

  7. Pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse

    In medicine, the pulse is the rhythmic throbbing of each artery in response to the cardiac cycle (heartbeat). [1] The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at the neck (carotid artery), wrist (radial artery or ulnar artery), at the groin (femoral artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), near the ankle joint ...

  8. Phrenic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenic_nerve

    As with most nerves in the neck, multiple anatomic variants have been described. Notably, there may be variability in the course of the phrenic nerve in the retro-clavicular region such that the nerve courses anterior to the subclavian vein, rather than its typical position posterior to the vein (between the subclavian vein and artery). [3]

  9. Posterior triangle of the neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_triangle_of_the_neck

    The posterior triangle has the following boundaries: [1] Apex: Union of the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius muscles at the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone. Anteriorly: Posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus. Posteriorly: Anterior border of the trapezius. Inferiorly: Middle one third of the clavicle
