cervical plexus

The cervical plexus has two types of branches: cutaneous and muscular.

It is innervated by a branch of cervical plexus.

The nerves of the cervical plexus and brachial plexus can be affected.

Nerves formed from the cervical plexus innervate the back of the head, as well as some neck muscles.

These portions of the ear are supplied by the cervical plexus and a small portion by the facial nerve.

The cervical plexus supplies sensation including proprioception.

The cervical plexus contains ventral rami from spinal nerves C1-C4.

The lesser occipital nerve is one of the four cutaneous branches of the cervical plexus.

The cervical plexus innervates muscles of the neck and areas of skin on the head, neck and chest.

The cervical plexus supplies sensation, including proprioception, via the ventral primary rami of C2 and C3.

Cervical plexus (purple)

One branch descends to join the cervical cutaneous nerve from the cervical plexus; others supply the Platysma.

Superficial to the carotid sheath lies the hypoglossal nerve and ansa cervicalis of the cervical plexus.

The great auricular nerve originates from the cervical plexus, composed of branches of spinal nerves C2 and C3.

The omohyoid is innervated by a branch of the cervical plexus, the ansa cervicalis, and mostly acts to stabilise the hyoid bone.

The superior root of the ansa cervicalis is formed from cervical spinal nerve 1 of the cervical plexus.

The ansa cervicalis (or ansa hypoglossi in older literature) is a loop of nerves that are part of the cervical plexus.

Thus, the phrenic nerve receives innervation from parts of both the cervical plexus and the brachial plexus of nerves.

The roof of this triangle is formed by the cutaneous nerves of cervical plexus and the external jugular vein and platysma muscle.

Coso Bülathkamoro had begun to answer when a hand gripped Lotta Romlar's shoulder, strong fingers pressing her cervical plexus with paralyzing pain.

The sensory nerves of the forehead connect to the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve and the cervical plexus, and lie within the subcutaneous fat.

Cruveilhier's plexus: posterior cervical plexus, plexus formed by the dorsal rami of the first three spinal nerves.

The Chassaignac tubercle is used as a landmark by anesthesiologists for local anesthesia of the brachial plexus and the cervical plexus using the supraclavicular approach.

The four primary nerve plexuses are the cervical plexus, brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, and the sacral plexus.

The branches of the cervical plexus emerge from the posterior triangle at the nerve point, a point which lies midway on the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid.
