Muscles Root of The Neck E-Learning

The document summarizes the major muscles of the cervical region and neck. It describes 3 groups of muscles - superficial muscles like the platysma and sternocleidomastoid, hyoid related muscles like the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles, and cervical vertebral muscles including the scalene muscles, longus capitis and cervicis, and posterior muscles like the splenius and semispinalis. It also discusses boundaries like the suboccipital triangle and root of the neck, and contents of these areas including nerves, vessels and the brachial plexus.
