    Human Anatomy د.فراس عبد الرحمن Lec.13 The neck Overview The neck is the area of the body between the base of the cranium superiorly and the suprasternal notch and the clavicles inferiorly. The neck joins the head to the trunk and limbs, serving as a major conduit for structures passing between them. Many important structures are crowded together in the neck, such as muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, lymphatics, thyroid and parathyroid glands, trachea, larynx, esophagus, and vertebrae. Carotid/jugular blood vessels are the major structures commonly injured in penetrating wounds of the neck. The brachial plexuses of nerves originate in the neck and pass inferolaterally to enter the axillae and continue to supply the upper limbs. Lymph from structures in the head and neck drains into cervical lymph nodes. Skin of the Neck The natural lines of cleavage of the skin (Wrinkle lines) are constant and run almost horizontally around the neck. This is important clinically because an incision along a cleavage line will heal as a narrow scar, whereas one that crosses the lines will heal as a wide or heaped-up scar. Fasciae of the Neck The neck is surrounded by a superficial cervical fascia that lies deep to the skin and invests the platysma muscle (a muscle of facial expression). A second deep cervical fascia tightly invests the neck structures and is divided into three layers. Superficial Cervical Fascia The superficial fascia of the neck forms a thin layer that encloses the platysma muscle. Also embedded in it are the cutaneous nerves, the superficial veins, and the superficial lymph nodes.

This area is subdivided by an obliquely prominent sternocleidomastoid muscle into anterior and posterior cervical triangles. Anterior cervical triangle is subdivided into four smaller triangles: -Submandibular triangle: Contains the submandibular salivary gland, hypoglossal nerve, mylohyiod muscle, and facial nerve. -Carotid triangle: Contains the carotid arteries and branches, internal jugular vein, and vagus nerve. -Omotracheal triangle: Includes the infrahyoid musculature and thyroid glands with the parathyroid glands. -Submental triangle: Beneath the chin. Figure 1: Anterior cervical muscles. 2 Posterior cervical triangle: The inferior belly of the omohyoid divides it into two triangles: -Occipital triangle: The contents include the accessory nerve, supraclavicular nerves, and upper brachial plexus. -Subclavian triangle: The contents include the supraclavicular nerves, Subclavian vessels, brachial plexus, suprascapular vessels, transverse cervical vessels, external jugular vein, and the nerve to the Subclavian muscle. The main arteries in the neck are the common carotids arising differently, one on each side. On the right, the common carotid arises at the bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk behind the sternoclavicular joint; on the left, it arises from the highest point on arch of the aorta in the chest.

Ltd., Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The clavicle is the most frequently fractured bone in humans. General anesthesia with or without Regional Anesthesia (RA) is most frequently used for clavicle surgeries due to its complex innervation. Many RA techniques, alone or in combination, have been used for clavicle surgeries. These include interscalene block, cervical plexus (superficial and deep) blocks, SCUT (supraclavicular nerve + selective upper trunk) block, and pectoral nerve blocks (PEC I and PEC II). The clavipectoral fascial plane block is also a safe and simple option and replaces most other RA techniques due to its lack of side effects like phrenic nerve palsy or motor block of the upper limb.

The anatomic locations of these anastomoses were poorly documented in the literature. During regular dissection, we came across two of such anastomoses: one of the two anastomoses was identified posterior to submandibular gland, and the other was noted within the parenchyma of the parotid gland. Prior knowledge of anatomic locations of these anastomoses is clinically important as it allows a method for identification and preservation of the cervical branch of the facial nerve as well as a starting point for retrograde facial nerve dissections. In addition, few terminal nerve endings of transverse cervical cutaneous nerve were seen along the retromandibular vein, ducts and some were penetrating the interlobular septa of parotid gland. The functional significance of anatomic variations of its nerve terminal ends deep in the gland is yet to be evaluated.

Received July 15, 2016; Accepted November 29, 2016; Epub May 15, 2017; Published May 30, 2017 Abstract: Our study was to verify whether the approach of protecting supraclavicular nerve could effectively reduce the discomfort caused by iatrogenic injury to the supraclavicular nerve. A total of 37 patients with unilateral midcla- vicular fractures were enrolled and randomly assigned into the experimental group (patients received meticulous dissection by specially preservation of supraclavicular nerves with diameter > 0.5 mm during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)) and control group (patients received conventional ORIF). One year follow-up was performed after operation. Clinical outcomes including intraoperative and postoperative parameters were compared between groups. For the intraoperative parameters, no significant difference was found between groups in operative time (P = 0.074). However, the blood loss (P = 0.004) was significantly decreased and incision length (P = 0.008) was significantly longerin experimental group compared with control group. For postoperative parameters, the time of bone healing was similar between groups (P = 0.856). However, the degree and range of skin numbness were sig- nificantly decreased by specially preservation of supraclavicular nerves during ORIF compared with conventional ORIF at two weeks and one year after operation (P < 0.05).

Communication of the anterior branch of the great auricular nerve with the cervical branch of facial nerve and its variant nerve endings deep in the parotid gland. Int. J. Morphol., 30(3):840-842, 2012. SUMMARY: The communications between the branches of cervical plexus and cervical branch of facial nerve are common and are well known. However, this communication usually occurs between the transverse cervical nerve and cervical branch of facial nerve. During routine dissection classes for the Medical undergraduate students, we came across an anatomical variant of anterior division of great auricular nerve. This variation was found in a 60-year-old male cadaver of South Indian origin and it was unilateral. The great auricular nerve arose from the loop of ventral rami of C2 and C3 spinal nerves and divided into anterior and posterior branches. The anterior branch ran obliquely upwards and forwards on the surface of the sternocleidomastoid muscle along with the external jugular vein towards the apex of parotid gland and divided into many branches. One of these branches gave a communicating branch to cervical branch of facial nerve outside the parotid gland.
