The Anatomy of the Neck

Are you curious about the inner workings of the neck and its various functions in the human body? Or do you want to understand what is causing that sudden pain in your neck after exercising? This course on the anatomy of the neck by Dr Saqib Mansoor takes you on a comprehensive journey of the neck and its various anatomical contents that play a crucial part in ensuring it functions properly. First, we examine the neck and the main types of triangles located within its structure, layers, boundaries and blood supply sources. Then we demonstrate each section using diagrams and illustrations to cement these concepts.

Are you looking to understand the layers and tissues of the neck and its muscles in depth? That's where we head next. We will explore the deep cervical fascia's role in covering the structures located in front of the vertebral column. The cervical fascia is a complex structure with numerous attachments. We will dissect these attachments. Curious about how infections can affect the neck? The various layers within the neck structure can sometimes go through dysfunctions. This allows infections to spread across multiple parts of the neck. We will examine these and how they can penetrate through the layers within the cervical fascia. The neck is composed of a complex structure of nerves, arteries and veins that supply blood to the neck. We will analyse this complex structure in detail using illustrations.

Do you know of someone going through a case of 'wry neck'? A tilted or twisted neck can result from malfunctioning muscles and can be debilitating. The neck is composed of a vast array of muscles that ensures it remains stable through various activities. They are divided into infrahyoid and suprahyoid muscle groups. We describe the content of these along with the fibres they contain. Finally, we will compare these two muscle groups. The neck is a crucial part of the human body. Over the years, doctors and scientists have made tremendous progress in understanding the complex structure contained within the neck. So enrol today and join Dr Saqib Mansoor as he takes you on a journey to understand this complex structure.
