Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

5.4K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

6.6K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

4.1K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

6.6K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

6.0K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

14.0K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • The neck presents complex anatomical geometry with numerous described triangles.
  • Some neck triangles, including Lesser's, Farabeuf, Pirogoff's, and Beclard's triangles, are under-documented in current literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide additional information on historically significant yet nearly forgotten triangles of the neck.
  • To re-emphasize the surgical importance of specific neck triangles as reliable anatomical landmarks.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on anatomical descriptions of neck triangles.
  • Analysis of the anatomical and surgical relevance of Lesser's, Farabeuf, Pirogoff's, and Beclard's triangles.

Main Results:

  • Identification and description of Lesser's, Farabeuf, Pirogoff's, and Beclard's triangles.
  • Confirmation of these triangles' utility as constant and reliable landmarks in neck surgery.

Conclusions:

  • The described neck triangles serve as valuable, consistent anatomical references for head and neck surgeons.
  • Reintroducing these landmarks can enhance surgical precision and safety in the neck region.
