Pierces and fuses with investing cervical fascia about 5 cm above clavicle, if cut, fascia prevents it from closing and can cause intravenous air embolus. It can fill and become visible from holding breath, or from congestive heart failure. Most of the facial veins drain into the External Jugular Vein. Transverse Cervical (from back of danger zone) and Supra scapular veins drain into External Jugular vein.
BRACHIAL PLEXUS Forms from the anterior rami of cervical nerves C5 to C8 and thoracic nerve T1 The contributions of each of these nerves, which are between the anterior and middle scalene muscles, are the roots of the brachial plexus. Branches from the roots are dorsal scapular nerve to the rhomboid muscles, long thoracic nerve to the Serratus anterior muscle, nerve to the Subclavius muscle, suprascapular nerve to the supra spinatus and infra spinatus muscles. As the roots emerge from between these muscles - the anterior rami of C5 and C6 form the upper trunk, the anterior ramus of C7 forms the middle trunk; the anterior rami of C8 and T1 form the lower trunk. The trunks cross the base of the posterior triangle. Branches from upper trunk are nerve to Subclavius, Suprascapular nerve. Erbs point - 6 nerves meet at this point - C5,C6 roots joining to form upper trunk, anterior and posterior branches of upper trunk branches of upper trunk - nerve to Subclavius, Suprascapular nerve. Lesion of this region (forceps delivery, forced expulsion of fetal head in breech delivery) causes Erbs paralysis. CERVICAL PLEXUS C1-C4 Formed from ventral primary rami of upper four cervical nerves, supplies skin, muscles of neck, and Diaphragm. All come of Cervical Plexus and penetrate investing fascia of the posterior triangle
Cutaneous nerves Lesser occipital nerve (C2-3) supplies skin of the neck and the scalp posterosuperior to the auricle Great auricular nerve (C2-3) supplies skin over the parotid gland, posterior aspect of the auricle and skin extending from the angle of the mandible to the mastoid process Transverse cervical nerve (C2-3) skin covering the anterior triangle Supra Clavicular nerve (C2-4) skin of the neck, clavicle and anterior shoulder
Phrenic nerve (C3-C4-C5) Caries motor, sensory and sympathetic fibers; innervates diaphragm, mediastinal pleura and pericardium.
