16. Neck. Root, fascies of the neck

Root of neck: This area communicates with the superior medi astinum through the thoracic inlet. Structures of the region include the following: subclavian artery and vein. The subclavian artery passes posterior to the scalenus anterior muscle, and the vein passes ante rior to it. Branches of the artery include: vertebral artery; thyrocervical trunk, which gives rise to the inferior thyroid, the transverse cervical, and the suprascapular arteries; Internal thoracic artery.

Phrenic nerve is a branch of the cervical plexus, which arises from C3, C4, and C5. It is the sole motor nerve to the diaphragm. It crosses the anterior scalene muscle from lateral to medial to enter the thoracic inlet.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve is a branch of the vagus nerve. This mixed nerve conveys sensory information from the laryngeal; mucosa below the level of the vocal folds and provides motor innervation to all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid muscle.

Thoracic duct terminates at the junction of the left subclavian and the left internal jugular veins. On the right side of the body, the right lymphatic duct terminates in a similar fashion.

Fascias of the neck: Superficial investing fascia encloses the platysma, a muscle of facial expression, which has migrated to the neck.

Deep investing fascia surrounds the trapezius and sternoclei - domastoid muscles.

Retropharyngeal (visceral) fascia surrounds the pharynx.

Prevertebral fascia invests the prevertebral muscles of the nee (ie, longus colli, longus capitis). This layer gives rise to a derivative known as the alar fascia.

The major muscle groups and their innervations. A simple method of organizing the muscles of the neck is based on two basic principles: (1) The muscles may be arranged in a group according to their functions; and (2) all muscles in a group share common innervation with one exception in each group.

Group 1: Muscles of the tongue. All intrinsic muscles plus all but one of the extrinsic muscles (ie, those containing the suffix, glossus) of the tongue are supplied by CN XII. The one exception is palatoglossus, which is supplied by CN X.

Group 2: Muscles of the larynx. All but one of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx are supplied by the recurrent la-ryngeal branch of the vagus nerve. The sole exception is the cricothyroid muscle, which is supplied by the external laryngeal branch of the vagus.

Group 3: Muscles of the pharynx. All but one of the longitudinal and circular muscles of the pharynx are supplied by CNs X and XI (cranial portion). The sole exception is the stylopharyngeus muscle, which is supplied by CN IX.

Group 4: Muscles of the soft palate. All but one of the muscles of the palate are supplied by CNs X and XI (cranial portion). The sole exception is the tensor veli palatini, which is supplied CN V3.

Group 5: Infrahyoid muscles. All but one of the infrahyo-id muscles are supplied by the ansa cervicalis of the cervical olexus (C1, C2, and C3). The exception is the thy-rohyoid, which is supplied by a branch of C1. (This branch of C1 also supplies the geniohyoid muscle).

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Supermicro A1SA7-2750F motherboard has 17 SATA ports 31.08.2014

Supermicro has launched the A1SA7-2750F motherboard for use in 1U servers in Japan.

The product is notable for a large number of SATA 6 Gb / s ports - there are seventeen of them in the Supermicro A1SA7-2750F. Only one of these ports, colored yellow, is connected to the chipset, the work of the remaining sixteen is implemented using the LSI 2116 SW controller.

Supermicro A1SA7-2750F has an integrated processor - eight-core Intel Atom C2750 (2,4-2,6 GHz). The CPU is cooled by a heatsink.

The configuration of the motherboard, in addition to a large number of SATA ports, includes four DIMM slots (supports ECC DDR3 strips with a frequency of 1600 MHz) and one PCI-Express 2.0 x8.

The interface panel of the product has two USB 2.0 ports and two RJ-45 network ports connected to a Gigabit Ethernet adapter, D-Sub video output. The board is powered by two connectors: eight-pin (12 V) and four-pin (5 V).

The Supermicro A1SA7-2750F is priced at $645.
