    Great auricular nerve - innervates skin near concha auricle and external acoustic meatus (C2-C3) 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 ]

  3. Phrenic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenic_nerve

    The phrenic nerve arises from the neck (C3-C5) and innervates the diaphragm, which is much lower. Hence, patients suffering spinal cord injuries below the neck are still able to breathe effectively, despite any paralysis of the lower limbs.

  4. Nerve plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_plexus

    The cervical plexus innervates muscles of the neck and areas of skin on the head, neck and chest. The deep branches innervate muscles, while the superficial branches supply areas of skin. A long branch (primarily of fibers of C4 and with contributions of fibers from C3 and C5; nervus phrenicus) innervates muscles of the diaphragm.

  5. Recurrent laryngeal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_laryngeal_nerve

    The vagus nerves, from which the recurrent laryngeal nerves branch, exit the skull at the jugular foramen and travel within the carotid sheath alongside the carotid arteries through the neck. The recurrent laryngeal nerves branch off the vagus, the left at the aortic arch, and the right at the right subclavian artery. The left RLN passes in ...

  6. Supraclavicular nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraclavicular_nerves

    The supraclavicular nerve is a cutaneous (sensory) nerve of the cervical plexus that arises from the third and fourth cervical (spinal) nerves. It emerges from beneath the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, then split into multiple branches. Together, these innervate the skin over the shoulder.

  7. Transverse cervical nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_cervical_nerve

    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 branch of the facial nerve is a branch of the facial nerve (VII). It runs forward beneath the platysma muscle, and forms a series of arches across the side of the neck over the suprahyoid region. One branch descends to join the cervical cutaneous nerve from the cervical plexus.
