A-Z Course 11 (12.5 HR/CE)

Enjoy lifetime access to this online course.

In the 11th course of our journey through “Anatomy from A to Z,” we explore the tissues and structures of the neck. 

This course includes a detailed exploration and dissection of the anterior neck structures and muscles of the hyoid and tongue (omohyoid, sternohyoid, digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, cricothyroid, hyoglossus, styloglossus, genioglossus), levator scapulae, the deep anterolateral neck (rectus capitis lateralis and ansa cervicalis), subclavius, and the scalene group. This course also explores many additional features of the neck, including the parotid gland, submandibular gland, its vasculature (jugular vein, carotid artery), the third lamina of the deep cervical fasciae, the vagus nerve, the thyroid, the brachial plexus, hypoglossal nerve, the cranial nerves, and the cupola, or dome, of the lungs. 

Through this experience, participants will gain a rich and deep understanding of the continuities, connections, and relationships between these named muscles and their surrounding tissues, including bony landmarks, fasciae, and visceral elements. Structures will also be compared ex-situ to provide an appreciation for the diversity and range of anatomical expression. Through cultivating a greater appreciation of the human form, participants will be better able to apply their anatomical knowledge to their bodywork and movement practices.
