Neck Anatomy - Organisation of the Neck - Part 1 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01okay so this is a tutorial on the
- 0:03organization of the neck so I'm going to
- 0:06talk a little bit about the an
- 0:07anatomical triangles of the neck the
- 0:10anterior and posterior triangles and
- 0:12then I'll go on to talk about the
- 0:13fascial compartments I'll also talk a
- 0:15little bit about the different
- 0:17structures that pass through the um
- 0:20anatomical triangles but I'll go into
- 0:22more detail on other tutorials on
- 0:24this so we're looking at an anterior
- 0:28view of the neck and you can see these
- 0:30thin muscles here so this is the platisa
- 0:33muscle and this is comp contained in the
- 0:36superficial fascia of the neck so I'll
- 0:38get rid of these um and show you the
- 0:43different
- 0:44triangles so if I just zoom in a little
- 0:46bit more I've got rid of the platisa
- 0:48muscle which lies in The Superficial
- 0:51fascia and then you can see this big
- 0:53muscle here which
- 0:55runs from the mastoid
- 0:58process down to attach onto the sternum
- 1:02and also onto the clavicle so it's got
- 1:04two attachments a sternal and a a
- 1:09sternal and a cicular attachment and
- 1:11it's also attached to mastoid process up
- 1:14here so this is the Sterno clom mastoid
- 1:19muscle named because of its um
- 1:24attachments so the anterior triangle of
- 1:27the neck is defined by a few boundaries
- 1:31so the
- 1:32inferior border of the mandible forms
- 1:36the superior border of the
- 1:39triangle the midline forms the medial
- 1:43border and the anterior border of the
- 1:46stoc clom mastoid muscle forms the
- 1:49lateral border of the triangle so the
- 1:52triangle is this here the midline
- 1:57inferior surface of the mandible
- 2:02so you've got the inferior surface of
- 2:04the mandible forming the superior border
- 2:07you've got the anterior border of the
- 2:10stoco
- 2:11mastoid forming the lateral border and
- 2:15the midline of the neck which
- 2:17one's right down here forms the medial
- 2:20border so that's the anterior triangle
- 2:22of the
- 2:23neck so as you can see here there are
- 2:26several
- 2:28structures which run in the anterior
- 2:30triangle of the neck and I won't go into
- 2:32huge detail on what these are but I'll
- 2:35just quickly go through them so you can
- 2:37see these this bone here this is the
- 2:39hyid
- 2:41bone and this bone is important because
- 2:43it forms the attachment for many muscles
- 2:47which make up the floor of the mouth and
- 2:49it it provides attachment for the tongue
- 2:52muscles and it's involved in swallowing
- 2:55so this is the H hyoid
- 2:58bone muscles above it are called the
- 3:01super Hy muscles and these run in the
- 3:02anterior triangle and you've got these
- 3:05muscles below the H bone so these are
- 3:08the infrahyoid
- 3:11muscles just these infrahyoid muscles
- 3:14are also called strap muscles because of
- 3:16their appearance I guess they look like
- 3:17a strap so these are the strap
- 3:20muscles below the strap muscles we've
- 3:23got the thyroid gland we've got the
- 3:26larynx here and the track here and we've
- 3:29also got the um parathyroid glands
- 3:33behind the
- 3:36thyroid and then also you've got these
- 3:39um vessels which obviously run in the
- 3:42anterior triangle so you've got the
- 3:43common cored and its branches so the
- 3:45external and um internal cored and
- 3:49you've got the internal jugular vein
- 3:53running through the anterior triangle
- 3:54and then you've also got nerves so for
- 3:57instance the Vagas nerve and recurrent
- 3:58Len Gill nerve run through the anterior
- 4:03triangle so that's the anterior triangle
- 4:07just to recap it's formed by the
- 4:10anterior border of the stoc cloudo
- 4:11mastoid the inferior margin of the
- 4:14mandible and the midline of the
- 4:17neck so the posterior
- 4:21triangle lies just behind the anterior
- 4:23triangle um and it's formed by the
- 4:26posterior border of the stoco mastoid
- 4:29the mid middle portion of the clavicle
- 4:33and the anterior Board of the trapezius
- 4:35muscle so this big this big muscle at
- 4:37the back big powerful muscle
- 4:44there so the apex of the posterior
- 4:47triangle is this bit of occipital bone
- 4:50just behind the mastoid process here so
- 4:54you can see the triangle formed by the
- 4:56anterior margin of the trapezius the
- 5:00middle portion of the clavicle and then
- 5:03the posterior border of the stocl
- 5:06mastoid with this Apex just behind the
- 5:09mastoid
- 5:13process so again the posterior
- 5:18triangle um of the neck contains a lot
- 5:20of important structures not going to go
- 5:22through all of them but just a few so
