Neck area Front

The anterior neck region (regio colli anteriors, PNA; regio cervicis anteriores, BNA; region colli ventriales, JNA; syn. cervicothoracic triangle anterior) is an anatomical region that is located on the anterior surface of the neck and includes the sternocleidomastoid muscle, anterior scalene muscle, superior and inferior thyroid glands and other anatomical structures.

The anterior neck region is of great clinical importance as it is the location of important neurovascular bundles that supply the brain and spinal cord and also play an important role in the regulation of respiration and circulation. This area contains important structures such as the carotid artery, jugular vein, vagus nerve and phrenic nerve.

The anterior neck area can be injured by neck injuries such as bruises, fractures, dislocations, etc. Injuries to this area can lead to serious complications such as damage to blood vessels and nerves, which can lead to impaired blood supply to the brain and loss of breathing control. Therefore, it is important to know the anatomy of the anterior cervical region and understand its clinical significance to ensure patient safety.

The anterior neck area is the upper part of the neck, located between the chin and the line of the collarbones. This area plays an important role in human physiology, as it is the origin of the muscles of the neck and head, and also contains important blood vessels and nerves. In this article, we will look at the anatomy, physiology, and function of the anterior neck region in the context of health and medicine.
