In order to reach the vessel in this situation the surgeon should keep outside the sheath of the thyreoid gland, between it and the carotid sheath which is retracted laterally along with the infra-hyoid muscles. When the inferior thyreoid artery has been ligatured the posterior branch of the superior thyreoid artery furnishes a sufficient blood-supply to the inferior parathyreoid gland. Triangles of the Neck.—The lateral aspect of the neck may be divided into an anterior and a posterior triangle by the sterno-mastoid muscle; the former is further subdivided into digastric, carotid, and muscular triangles by the digastric and omo-hyoid muscles. The posterior triangle is subdivided into occipital and subclavian portions by the posterior belly of the omo-hyoid. The sterno-mastoid muscle forms one of the most important superficial land- Apex of mastoid process Hypoglossal nerve _3 Bifurcation of common carotid artery' Sterno-mastoid Carotid tubercle Apex of lun, Brachial plexus Subclavian artery 1st part axillary artery ~ Coracoid process Acromio- M. clavicular joint
