Question
Answer
5 layers of scalp   Skin. Connective tissue. Aponeurosis. Loose CT. Periosteum.  
🗑
Connective tissue (what do you find)   Dense, hair follicles, arteries, veins, cutaneous nerves found here  
🗑
Aponeurosis (unites...)   Unites frontalis & occipitalis mm.  
🗑
Loose connective tissue   Allows movement of 3 superficial layers as one unit. Infections can get in  
🗑
Periosteum   On bones of calvarium  
🗑
Cervical fascia (what)   Covers and compartmentalizes principal muscle masses, viscera and main nerves and blood vessels of neck.  
🗑
Cervical fascia 3 layers   Superficial (investing) layer of cervical fascia. Pretracheal layer. Prevertebral layer.  
🗑
Superficial (investing) layer of cervical fascia   Single sheet, cylindrical. Corresponding to column of neck. Surrounds all deeper parts of neck. Splits into 2 sheets to enclose sternocleidomastoid & trapezium muscles.  
🗑
Superficial (investing) layer of cervical fascia (attachments)   Post midline - ex occipital protuberance, nuchal lig, SP of C7. Sup midline - ex occ. protuberance, sup nuchal line, mastoid process, inf mandible border. Inf - ant & post surfaces of manubrium, med 1/3 clavicle, scapula. Ant - hyoid bone  
🗑
Pretracheal layer of cervical fascia (compartmentalizes 6)   Central part of neck. Compartmentalizes pharynx, esophagus, larynx, trachea, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland  
🗑
Buccopharyngeal fascia (part of, covers)   Part of pretracheal layer. Covers pharynx & is prolonged down over post surface of esophagus.  
🗑
Prevertebral layer of cervical fascia   Encloses vertebral column & assoc. muscles. Extension of vertebral fascia of back. Attached to tips of TPs. Post attaches to ex occipital protuberance, nuchal lig, spine of C7  
🗑
Fascia of infrahyoid muscles (layers, blend with..)   2 layers (superficial, deep) in ant 1/2 of neck. Blend with superficial cervical fascia along medial line.  
🗑
Superficial layer of fascia of infrahyoid muscles (encloses, blends with..)   Encloses sternohyoid, omohyoid. Blends with superficial cervical fascia post to sternocleidomastoid muscle  
🗑
Deep layer of fascia of infrahyoid muscles (encloses, extends..)   Encloses sternothyroid, thyrohyoid. Extends laterally to carotid sheath  
🗑
Carotid sheath   Tubular investment of internal and common carotid arteries, internal jugular v, vagus (CN10). Sympathetic chain runs next to, not in.  
🗑
Superficial layer   Encloses all except most superficial structures of neck  
🗑
Prevertebral layer   Forms an enclosure for a compartment containing cervical vertebrae & associated m/a/v/n  
🗑
Pretracheal & Buccopharyngeal fasciae   Delimits a compartment which lodges all visceral organs contained in neck  
🗑
Carotid sheath   Longitudinal neurovascular enclosure  
🗑
Interfascial spaces   Between fascial layers  
🗑
Retropharyngeal space (borders)   Between pretracheal fascia (ant), prevertebral fascia (post), carotid sheaths (lat), base of skull (sup), post mediastinum (inf)  
🗑
Fascia (clinical importance)   Holds back infection  
🗑
