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.
