All of the infrahyoid muscles are innervated by the ansa cervicalis from the cervical plexus (C1-C3) [4] [5] except the thyrohyoid muscle, which is innervated by fibers only from the first cervical spinal nerve travelling with the hypoglossal nerve.
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 stellate ganglia may be cut in order to decrease the symptoms exhibited by Raynaud's phenomenon and hyperhydrosis (extreme sweating) of the hands. Injection of local anesthetics near the stellate ganglion can sometimes mitigate the symptoms of sympathetically mediated pain such as complex regional pain syndrome type I (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), and symptoms associated with alterations ...
The cervical plexus has two types of branches: cutaneous and muscular. [3] Cutaneous (4 branches): Lesser occipital nerve - innervates the skin and the scalp posterosuperior to the auricle (C2) Great auricular nerve - innervates skin near concha auricle and external acoustic meatus (C2-C3)
The great auricular nerve is a cutaneous (sensory) nerve of the head. It originates from the second and third cervical (spinal) nerves (C2-C3) of the cervical plexus.It provides sensory innervation to the skin over the parotid gland and the mastoid process, parts of the outer ear, and to the parotid gland and its fascia.
Exercises 1-4: toe touching, knee raising, lateral (side) raising, arm circling. Exercise 5: partial sit-ups. Exercise 6: chest and leg raising. Exercise 7: side leg raising. Exercise 8: knee push-ups
Exercise plus joint manipulation has been found to be beneficial in both acute and chronic mechanical neck disorders. [14] In particular, specific strengthening exercise may improve function and pain. [15] Motor control using cranio-cervical flexion exercises has been shown to be effective for non-specific chronic neck pain. [16]
Please tell your veterinarian about this condition, and that it usually corrects with simple stretching exercises. By informing your vet about this problem, you may be saving a kitten’s life!”
