- Jugulodigastric nodeNodus jugulodigastricusA large deep cervical lymph node where the posterior belly of digastric crosses the internal jugular vein, below the angle of the jaw.
- Lateral crico-arytenoid muscleMusculus cricoarytendoideus lateralisThe lateral crico-arytenoid is a small laryngeal muscle that runs from the side of the cricoid to the arytenoid and closes the glottis.
- Lateral superior jugular nodeNodus jugularis superior lateralisA deep lymph node of the upper neck lying on the outer side of the internal jugular vein, above the crossing of omohyoid.
- Lateral thyrohyoid ligamentLigamentum thyreohyoideum lateraleA rounded elastic cord at the back edge of the thyrohyoid membrane, tying the thyroid cartilage's superior horn to the hyoid bone.
- Left common carotid arteryCarotis communis sinistraThe second branch of the aortic arch, climbing through the superior mediastinum and up the left side of the neck to divide at C4.
- Levator scapulaeLevator scapulae is a strap-like muscle in the side of the neck that runs from the upper cervical vertebrae to the scapula.
- Ligamenta flavaPaired yellow elastic ligaments joining the laminae of neighbouring vertebrae, forming much of the back wall of the vertebral canal.
- Long thoracic nerveNervus thoracicus longusA long motor nerve from the C5 to C7 roots that runs down the side of the chest to supply serratus anterior.
- Longissimus capitis muscleMusculus longissimus capitisLongissimus capitis is a slender band of the deep back muscles that climbs from the upper thoracic spine to the mastoid process.
- Longissimus colli muscleMusculus longissimus colliLongissimus colli is the neck part of the longissimus column, joining the upper thoracic transverse processes to those of the cervical spine.
- Longus capitis muscleMusculus longus capitisLongus capitis is a deep muscle on the front of the upper neck, rising from C3 to C6 to the skull base.
- Longus colli muscleMusculus longus colliLongus colli is a long prevertebral muscle lying on the front of the vertebral column from the atlas down to the upper thoracic vertebrae.
- Median cricothyroid ligamentLigamentum cricothyreoideum medianumA strong midline band at the front of the larynx joining the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage to the arch of the cricoid.
- Median thyrohyoid ligamentLigamentum thyreohyoideum medianumThe thickened central part of the thyrohyoid membrane, joining the thyroid notch of the larynx to the central body of the hyoid.
- Multifidus colli muscleMusculus multifidus colliMultifidus colli is the neck part of the multifidus, a deep layer of short bundles linking cervical articular processes to spines above.
- Mylohyoid muscleMusculus mylohyoideusMylohyoid is the paired, flat triangular muscle that stretches from the inner mandible to the hyoid and forms the floor of the mouth.
- Nuchal ligamentLigamentum nuchaeA midline fibrous septum in the nape, running from the occipital bone to the spine of the seventh cervical vertebra.
- Oblique part of cricothyroid musclePars obliqua musculi cricothyreoideiThe oblique part is the rear, more horizontal set of cricothyroid fibres, running from the cricoid arch to the thyroid cartilage's lower horn.
- Obliquus inferior capitis muscleMusculus obliquus inferior capitisObliquus capitis inferior is a thick suboccipital muscle joining the spine of the axis to the atlas and turning the head.
- Obliquus superior capitis muscleMusculus obliquus superior capitisObliquus capitis superior is a small suboccipital muscle running up and back from the atlas to the occipital bone.
- Omohyoid muscleMusculus omohyoideusOmohyoid is a thin two-bellied strap muscle of the neck that runs from the scapula's upper edge to the hyoid bone.
- Paratracheal cervical nodesNodi paratrachéales colliChains of lymph nodes on each side of the cervical trachea, in the groove between trachea and oesophagus.
- PlatysmaPlatysma is a broad, thin sheet of muscle lying just under the skin of the front and side of the neck, from chest to jaw.
- Posterior belly of digastric muscleVenter posterior musculi digastriciThe posterior belly of digastric is the longer rear half of the digastric, running from the mastoid notch forwards to the hyoid.
