Download Root of the Neck

Summary of Anterior Cervical Triangle
Boundaries:
Mandible, SCM, midline
M1 – Anatomy
Divided into 4 triangles:
Muscular, carotid, submandibular, submental
Root of the Neck
Muscular: infrahyoid muscles innervated by ansa cervicalis
EXCEPT thyrohyoid (C1)
Dr. Jeff Dupree
Carotid: carotid sheath, ansa cervicalis, branches of ext. carotid,
hypoglossal n., deep cervical lymph nodes
Submandibular: submandibular gland, suprahyoid muscles
Submental: crosses midline, submental lymph nodes

Costocervical trunk:
deep cervical
superior (supreme) intercostal
the superior/highest/supreme intercostal artery are all accepted names
for this artery; the confusion concerns the veins of the same names; the
supreme intercostal vein drains the first intercostal space and then empties
into the brachiocephalic while the superior/highest intercostal vein drains

the 2nd intercostal space
