Posterior triangle of the neck which divides the space into two triangles: A) Nerves and plexuses: B) Vessels: C) Lymph nodes: D) Muscles: The accessory nerve (CN XI) is particularly vulnerable to damage during lymph node biopsy. Damage results in an inability to shrug the shoulders or raise the arm above the head, particularly due to compromised trapezius muscle innervation. The Internal jugular vein's superficial location within the posterior triangle also makes it vulnerable to injury. Posterior triangle of the neck The posterior triangle (or lateral cervical region) is a region of the neck. It has the following boundaries: Apex: Union of the sternocleidomastoid and
Smallest cardiac veins They drain the myocardium and run a perpendicular course to the endocardial surface, directly connecting the heart chambers to the medium-sized, and larger coronary veins. Thebesian veins have been successfully identified by following the route of contrast flow - during catheterization procedures - from the subendocardium, through the thebesian veins, into larger veins, and into the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus empties into the right atrium. The thebesian venous network is considered an alternative venous drainage of the myocardium. Thebesian veins draining into the left heart, along with deoxygenated blood originating from the bronchial veins draining into the pulmonary veins,
