major fascial sheets. You should be able to explain what afascia is, and describe its general purpose.
You should aim to gain a deeper appreciation of the posteriortriangle of the neck and be able to recognize the muscles in
its floor with the exceptions of splenius capitis and
semispinalis capitis.
You should be able to recognize and describe the superficial
cutaneous branches of the cervical plexus, and also the
phrenic nerve.

ApproachApproach
When we discuss the neck, you should recall the session in
which we examined the way in which the head and neck
have been designed.
Ask yourself what are the functions of the neck, and how
are they reflected in its layout and shape, and how in turndo these determine the internal structure?
Only then will their structures make sense, and beintegrated into the plan you develop for the neck.
Finally, think in clinical terms
ApproachApproach
A good way to visualize the neck is to think of it in terms of
skeleton, muscles, fasciae and viscera.
Categorizing the contents in this way makes the plan easyto comprehend, and helps you to locate structures in a
simple way.
ApproachApproach SkeletonSkeleton
The skeleton of the neck is essentially the vertebral column,although the larynx has a cartilaginous skeleton of its own.

Be able to identify thevertebral body, neural
arch, pedicles,
laminae, transverseforamina, spinous
processes, anteriorand posterior roots
and tubercles of thetransverse processes,articular surfaces and
the intervertebralforaminae.

Being able to draw
the fasciae of theneck provides a key
to the comprehension
of its overallstructure, so it is animportant piece of
understanding to
acquire.

In the diagram on the
right, note the
superficial fascia
which is colouredpink, and the deepfasciae which are
drawn in red.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
The superficial fascialies immediately
beneath the skin and
is continuous with it.
One removes it when
one removes the skinin dissection.
Note that it contains
the platysma muscle.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
The deep fascia is
designed to permit
easy movementbetween groups of
structures, and letsgroups of muscles
and viscera move
independently.
It essentially providesa layer betweenadjacent sliding
surfaces.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
Layers of deep fascia
divide the neck into anumber of
compartments, and
leave the so-called
tissue spaces -potential spaces whichlie along the planes of
cleavage between the
layers.
These spaces are
important in the spreadof infection in the neck.

The deep fasciaecomprise a number of
layers.
The most superficial
of these is called theinvesting layer of thedeep cervical fascia.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
Sometimes it is misleadingly called the superficial investing
layer of deep cervical fascia, and this can be confusing
because the terms superficial and deep are used in the
same name to describe a layer of deep fascia in the neck.
For this reason, the term investing layer is preferred.
FasciaeFasciae
The investing layer lies deep
to the superficial fascia, andforms a continuous sheath
around the entire neck.
It splits to contain thetrapezius muscle and the
sternocleidomastoid muscle
on each side, and in betweenthe two muscles it forms a
sheet that acts as a roof overthe posterior triangle of the
neck.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
The presence of thesternocleidomastoid andtrapezius in this layer gives
them mobility independent ofother muscles in the neck.

The carotid sheath lies
deep to the investing layer,
and wraps the internaljugular vein, common
carotid artery and vagusnerve (X) in a bundle. As
we ascend in the neck, the
carotid sheath contains the
internal carotid arteryrather than the common
carotid after we pass
above the junction
between the two vessels.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
The pre-vertebral fasciaseparates the larynx and
oesophagus from the
prevertebral muscles,
giving these viscerafreedom of movement in
this important area.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
The potential space thatlies between the pharynx
and the prevertebral
muscles is called the
retropharyngeal space,and this is important fromthe point of view of
spread of infection, since
it communicates inferiorlywith the mediastinum, and
provides a pathway forinfection to spread into
this area.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
Infection in this space can
cause problems withswallowing and with
respiration.
It communicates with theposterior triangle
posteriorly to the carotidsheath.

The thyroid gland and
larynx are surrounded
anteriorly by the pre-
laryngeal fascia.
The paralaryngeal/
parapharyngeal spacelies between this, the
investing layer and the
carotid sheath.
FasciaeFasciae
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
This space provides a
pathway for infection tospread into the
retropharyngeal space.
Infection in this area canalso compromise
respiration to an extent.

TrianglesTriangles
For convenience, when
we describe the neck,we refer to a series of
imaginary lines drawn
on its surface whichcorrespond to important
anatomical structureswhich lie beneath.
Since these lines form a
series of triangularshapes on the neck
surface, we refer to
them as the triangles ofthe neck.
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
Note the posteriortriangle, shaded pink in
the diagram.

The space between the
investing layer, the
carotid sheath and the
prevertebral fascia isknown as the posterior
triangle of the neck, and
it is here that many
important structures can
be found duringdissection.
TrianglesTriangles
Diagram A. Forrest 2008.
If the investing layer,
which forms the roof ofthe triangle, is removed,
one looks down on the
carotid sheath (deep tosternocleidomastoid)
and many importantmuscles, as well as the
superficial branches of
the cervical plexus.
TrianglesTriangles
Clemente CD, Anatomy, A Regional Atlas of the Human
Body, Munich, Urban & Shwarzenberg, 1975, Diagram 429.
You should identify the
three scalene muscles,scalenus anterior,
medius and posterior,
levator scapulae, andsplenius capitis.
You should also identify
the accessory nerve (XI)
and the phrenic nerve.
TrianglesTriangles

The scalenus anterior
attaches to the anteriortubercles of the 3rd to
6th cervical vertebrae,
while scalenus mediusand posterior attach to
the posterior tuberclesof the lower 5 and 4th to
6th cervical vertebrae
respectively.

This means that the
cervical and brachial
nerves emerge betweenthe scalenus anterior
muscle and thescalenus medius
muscle.

You will learn that the
accessory nerve, orcranial nerve (XI), is
the nerve that allows
us to shrug ourshoulders.
It is motor to the
sternocleidomastoidmuscle and to
trapezius.

You will need toknow the branches of
the cervical plexus
later in your course,so now is a good
time to becomefamiliar with them.
The trunks of the
brachial plexus will
not be covered andneed not be known
.

The branches of the
cervical plexusemerge from the
posterior border of
thesternocleidomastoid
muscle, andtherefore they
emerge at the
anterior border of theposterior triangle.

The lesser occipitalnerve hooks around
the accessory nerve
and runs along the
posterior border ofthe
sternocleidomastoidmuscle to supply
sensation to the back
of the neck and lowerpart of the back of
the head.
NervesNerves
Clemente CD, Anatomy, A Regional Atlas of the Human
Body, Munich, Urban & Shwarzenberg, 1975, Diagram 429.
The great auricular
nerve is a larger branch
which runs across the
belly of thesternocleidomastoid on
its way towards the
parotid gland and the
ear.
It supplies sensation tothe skin in the region of
the parotid gland and tomuch of the auricle of
the ear.
NervesNerves
Clemente CD, Anatomy, A Regional Atlas of the Human
Body, Munich, Urban & Shwarzenberg, 1975, Diagram 429.
The transverse cervical
nerve crosses thesternocleidomastoid
muscle as it passes
towards the front of theneck, and then divides
into superior andinferior branches which
supply common
sensation to the front ofthe neck from the chin
down to the upper partof the chest.
NervesNerves
Clemente CD, Anatomy, A Regional Atlas of the Human
Body, Munich, Urban & Shwarzenberg, 1975, Diagram 429.
The reason it is
important to dentists is
that it can sometimes
provide an accessorynerve supply to the
lower anterior teeth, and
this can prevent
conventional blockanaesthesia from being
successful in this area.

The supraclavicular
nerves divide into
three groups and
supply commonsensation to the skin
overlying the chestand shoulder.
NervesNerves
Clemente CD, Anatomy, A Regional Atlas of the Human
Body, Munich, Urban & Shwarzenberg, 1975, Diagram 429.
Since all of these
nerves are sensory,
and supply areas of
skin, they must passthrough the investing
layer of cervicalfascia to get there.
NervesNerves
Clemente CD, Anatomy, A Regional Atlas of the Human
Body, Munich, Urban & Shwarzenberg, 1975, Diagram 429.
The final branch is the
phrenic nerve. This
contains fibres from C3,
C4 and C5 and is the
motor nerve to the
diaphragm.
It is a deep branch of the
cervical plexus, and
crosses the belly of the
scalenus anterior muscle
and the lower anterior end
of the posterior triangle,
where it is accessible to
traumatic injury.
