  2. Cervical vertebrae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_vertebrae

    In humans, cervical vertebrae are the smallest of the true vertebrae and can be readily distinguished from those of the thoracic or lumbar regions by the presence of a foramen (hole) in each transverse process, through which the vertebral artery, vertebral veins, and inferior cervical ganglion pass. The remainder of this article focuses upon ...

  3. Cervical spinal nerve 4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_4

    Cervical spinal nerve 4, also called C4, is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. It originates from the spinal cord above the 4th cervical vertebra (C4). It contributes nerve fibers to the phrenic nerve , the motor nerve to the thoracoabdominal diaphragm .

  4. Cervical spinal nerve 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_5

    The cervical spinal nerve 5 (C5) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1]It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 5 (C5). It contributes to the phrenic nerve, long thoracic nerve, and dorsal scapular nerve before joining cervical spinal nerve 6 to form the upper trunk, a trunk of the brachial plexus, which then forms the lateral cord, and finally the ...

  5. Facet joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet_joint

    Within the cervical spine, most joints are innervated by the medial branch nerve (a branch of the dorsal rami) from the same levels. In other words, the facet joint between C4 and C5 vertebral segments is innervated by the C4 and C5 medial branch nerves. However, there are two exceptions:

  6. Dermatome (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatome_(anatomy)

    Some referred pain due to visceral sensations refer to dermatomes that send fibers to the same level of spinal cord. A dermatome is an area of skin supplied by sensory neurons that arise from a spinal nerve ganglion. Symptoms that follow a dermatome (e.g. like pain or a rash) may indicate a pathology that involves the related nerve root ...

  7. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    This is true for all spinal nerves except for the first spinal nerve pair (C1), which emerges between the occipital bone and the atlas (the first vertebra). [3] Thus the cervical nerves are numbered by the vertebra below, except spinal nerve C8, which exists below vertebra C7 and above vertebra T1.

  8. Scalene muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalene_muscles

    The anterior scalene muscle (Latin: scalenus anterior), lies deeply at the side of the neck, behind the sternocleidomastoid muscle.It arises from the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae, and descending, almost vertically, is inserted by a narrow, flat tendon into the scalene tubercle on the inner border of the first rib, and ...

  9. Neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck

    Vertebral compartment contains the cervical vertebrae with cartilaginous discs between each vertebral body. The alignment of the vertebrae defines the shape of the human neck. [5] As the vertebrae bound the spinal canal, the cervical portion of the spinal cord is also found within the neck.
