Muscles of the Anterior Neck
2
Muscles of the Neck Overview• Muscle of neck are divided into two groups:
– Anterior• Superficial (2)• Hyoids
– Infrahyoids (4)– Suprahyoids (4)
• Scalenes (3)• Deep (4)
– Posterior• Superficial (4)• Deep (4)
• Note: Some sources divide neck into anterior, posterior, & lateral.
3
Muscles of Neck Overview
• Functionality– Since these muscles cross the joints of the cervical
spine, they can move the neck at the cervical spinal joints
– If a muscle also crosses the atlanto-occipital joint (C0/C1) then it can move the head upon the neck.
4
Muscles of Neck Overview
• General Rules:– If a muscle crosses the neck posteriorly, it can extend the
neck at the cervical spinal joints.
– If a muscle crosses the neck anteriorly, it can flex the neck at the cervical spinal joints.
– If a muscle crosses the neck laterally, it can laterally flex the neck at the cervical spinal joints.
– If a muscle wraps around the neck, it can cause rotation of the neck at the cervical spinal joints.

Muscles of the Anterior Neck – Superficial (2)
• Platysma :– By function it is primarily a muscle of facial expression i.e.
innervated by CN VII.– Platysma of one side blends with contralateral side and
other facial muscles in lower face.– Considered to by remnant of a broader muscle called
panniculus carnosus found in four-legged animals. Enables horses to shake off flies and cats to raise hair on its back.
– When contracted it is reminiscent of “Creature from the Black Lagoon” creature.
• Sternocleidomastoid (SCM):– Since it attaches to sternum, SCM is considered an
accessory muscle of respiration.

PlatysmaO: Subcutaneous Fascia of
Superior Chest
I: Mandible and subcutaneous fascia of lower face
A: Draws up the skin of superior chest and neck, creating ridges in neck skin.
Assists in drawing the lip laterally and depresses the mandible
N: CN VII (Facial nerve)

O: Sternal Head: manubrium Clavicular Head: Medial clavicle
I: Mastoid process
Actions: Bilateral contraction: flexion of the neck. Unilateral contraction results in Lateral flexion of neck/head and Contralateral rotation of neck/head
N: Spinal accessory nerve (CN XI)

Muscles of the Anterior Neck – Infrahyoids (4)
• All 4 infrahyoid muscles are located below the hyoid bone i.e. the pull hyoid bone inferiorly when contracted.
• All hyoid muscle are important in moving and/or fixating the hyoid bone. These functions are necessary for chewing, swallowing, & speech.
• Sternohyoid:– “Sterno” refers to sternum– “hyoid” refers to hyoid bone
• Sternothyroid:– “thyroid” refers to thyroid cartilage
• Thyrohyoid• Omohyoid:
– “Omo” refers to the shoulder

Muscles of the Anterior Neck – Suprahyoids (4)
• Digastric:– “Di” means two; “gastric” means belly– External carotid lies inferior and deep to anterior belly
• Stylohyoid:– External carotid lies inferior and deep to stylohyoid
• Mylohyoid:– “mill” refers to molar teeth
• Geniohyoid:– “genio” refers to chin

Muscles of the Anterior Neck – Scalenes (3)
• As a group, they attach superiorly from cervical TP's to inferiorly on the 1st and 2nd ribs
• As a group, scalenes flex and laterally flex the neck
• By reverse muscles action, the scalenes can elevated the 1st & 2nd rib i.e. they are also considered accessory muscle of respiration.

The Scalene Group
• Scalenes, as well as SCM, are often injured during MVA called whiplash.
• Also known as cervical acceleration deceleration (CAD) injury
23
Muscles of the Anterior Neck – Deep Prevertebral Group (4)
• Called prevertebral muscles since they lie directly on the cervical spine vertebral bodies
• Important at fixating (stabilizing) and neck/head while talking, swallowing, coughing, & sneezing
• May also be injured during CAD• Longus Colli:

• Longus Capitis• Rectus Capitis Anterior• Rectus Capitis Lateralis
