Roof Of Digastric Triangle

The triangles of the neck are surgically focussed first described from early dissection based anatomical.

Roof of digastric triangle.

The stylomandibular ligament subdivides the digastric triangle within anterior and posterior parts. The digastric triangle is one of the paired triangles in the anterior triangle of the neck. Floor posteriorly is inferior pharyngeal conatrictor muscle anteriorly is the thyrohyoid muscle and hypoglossus roof is investing layer of fascia cutaneous nerves and platysma. This triangle contains major arteries veins and nerves of the neck and head.

The roof of the triangle is formed the skin superficial cervical fascia the platysma and deep cervical fascia. The submandibular triangle or submaxillary or digastric triangle corresponds to the region of the neck immediately beneath the body of the mandible boundaries and coverings. Posterior belly of digastric muscle pbd superior belly of the omohyoid muscle so anterior border of sternomastoid muscle st roof. Anteriorly by the anterior belly of digastric muscle.

Skin superficial fascia platysma 17. Medially sagittal line down the midline of the neck. What is the floor and roof of the carotid triangle. Above by the lower border of the body of the mandible and a line drawn from its angle to the.

The posterior portion of the triangle is superiorly constant with the parotid region. Investing fascia covers the roof of. The digastric triangle is subdivided into anterior and posterior parts by the stylomandibular ligament which goes from the tip of the styloid process to the angle of the mandible. Platysma cervical division of facial nerve and ascending branch of transverse cervical nerve are located in the superficial fascia above the roof.

The branches of the facial nerve and transverse cutaneous cervical nerves also pass over the roof of the triangle. Superiorly inferior border of the mandible jawbone. Posterior belly of digastric muscle posterior anterior portion of scm. Contents in the anterior part of the triangle.

Laterally anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid. Like the anterior triangle the digastric submandibular triangle is limited superiorly by the same structures. The digastric triangle is one of the paired triangles in the anterior triangle of the neck. Carotid triangle boundaries of the carotid triangle are.

The triangles of the neck are surgically focused first described from early dissection based anatomical studies which predated cross sectional anatomical description based on imaging see deep spaces of the neck.
