The cervical viscera are disposed in three layers, named for their primary function. Superficial to
deep, they are the:
2. Parathyroid Gland
- The small flattened, oval parathyroid glands usually lie external to the thyroid capsule
on the medial half of the posterior surface of each lobe of the thyroid gland, inside its
sheath. Most people have four parathyroid glands.
- The hormone produced by the parathyroid glands, parathormone (PTH), controls the
metabolism of phosphorus and calcium in the blood.
The viscera of the respiratory layer, the larynx and trachea, contribute to the respiratory
functions of the body. The main functions of the cervical respiratory viscera are as follows:
Routing air and food into the respiratory tract and esophagus, respectively.
Producing voice.
3. Larynx
-
The larynx is located in the anterior neck at the level of the bodies of C3-C6
vertebrae. It connects the inferior part of the pharynx (oropharynx) with the trachea.
The larynx is the complex organ of voice production (the voice box) composed of
nine cartilages connected by membranes and ligaments and containing the vocal
folds.
1. Sternocledomastoid Region
-
Dibentuk oleh SCM muscle, SCM muscle membagi setiap sisi leher ke dalam
anterior dan lateral cervical Regions (anterior and posterior triangles).
SCM merupakan strap-like muscle yang punya two head tendon:
Rounded tendon of the sternal head yang attach ke manubrium
Clavicular head yang attach ke permukaan 1/3 superior clavicle.
Kedua head tendon SCM dipisahkan oleh small triangular depression, yaitu the
lesser supraclavicular fossa.
Kedua tendon tersebut menyatu ke superior dengan arah oblique ke cranium.
Superior SCM melekat di the mastoid process dari the temporal bone dan the
superior nuchal line of the occipital bone.
trunk, the third part of the subclavian artery, and part of the occipital artery.
VEINS IN LATERAL CERVICAL REGION: The external jugular vein (EJV)
begins near the angle of the mandible (just inferior to the auricle) by the union
NERVES OF LATERAL CERVICAL REGION: The spinal accessory nerve (CN XI)
LYMPH NODES IN LATERAL CERVICAL REGION:
Lymph from superficial tissues in the lateral cervical region enters the superficial
cervical lymph nodes that lie along the EJV superficial to the SCM. Efferent vessels
from these nodes drain into the deep cervical lymph nodes, which form a chain along
the course of the IJV that is embedded in the fascia of the carotid sheath.
