Anatomy Of The Neck

Whilst dental healthcare professionals naturally focus on assessment of the teeth and the supporting tissues, they also have an important role in assessing the whole oro-facial complex and the neck. Assessment of the neck is particularly important, not least, because it contains the regional lymph nodes that are involved in immune surveillance of the head and neck region. The neck also contains the major salivary glands: the sub­mandibular gland and the tail of the parotid gland. Mid-line structures include the hyoid bone, larynx, and trachea, along with the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands. The assessment of these anatomical structures should form part of the routine clinical examination. The dis­covery of an abnormality in the neck, which may not have been noticed by the patient, may expedite the diagnosis of significant disease and facilitate a timely intervention. A through understanding of the anatomy of the neck is essential and informs the clinical examination. It is also important to understand the concept of the anatomical levels that map out the lymph node groups of the neck (Chapter 1; Fig. 1.2). Accurate assessment of the neck is usually best achieved by a combination of visual inspection and palpation, with the patient in a slightly reclined position, the clinician standing behind the patient. Any lumps, e.g. enlarged lymph nodes, are described by anatomical site, size, consistency (cystic, soft, rubbery, hard), whether the lump is mobile or fixed to the underlying tissue, and if palpation elic­its pain or discomfort. The combination of these parameters will help to formulate the differential diagnosis; for example, an isolated hard lump that is fixed to underlying structures is likely to represent meta­static cancer, whereas, bilateral soft lumps that are mobile and painful to palpation are likely to represent lymphadenitis as a consequence of systemic infection. Ultrasound examination can be used to ascertain important informa­tion about a neck lump such as the site (precise anatomical location, superficial or deep), size, consistency (solid or cystic), and multi-focality. Doppler settings can help to establish the vascularity of a lesion and its proximity to major vessels.

While undertaking the descriptive dissection of a Baikal seal (Phoca sibirica), the anatomy of the neck, thorax, and pectoral limbs were compared with that of a ringed seal, two harp seals, and two grey seals. Comparison of the myology showed the Baikal and the ringed seal to be the most similar, whereas the harp seals had more muscular subdivisions than the previous two species. The nonlobate lungs of the harp seal indicate a more advanced development. The grey seals were generally more robust with more pronounced areas of muscle attachment. Skeletal characteristics of the pectoral limb indicate that this species is the most primitive of the four.

The gross and microscopical anatomy of the neck glands of Notomys alexis, N. mitchellii, N. cervinus and N. fuscus is described. In N. alexis, N. mitchellii and N. fuscus the glandular area was composed of a sheet of sebaceous-type glands supported by a small amount of connective tissue. The gross morphology of the glandular area varied between these three species, being simplest in N. mitchellii and most complex in N. fuscus. N. cervinus had no neck gland, but males had a gland made up of a mass of lobules separately embedded in a connective tissue stroma in the sternal region. In all species the glandular area was active in all adult males, but in females only during pregnancy and lactation. It is considered that territorial marking and marking of group members, including newborn young, are among the most likely uses of the glands.
