Examples

  • Two seabirds with restricted breeding ranges, the providence petrel (Pterodroma solandri) and white-necked petrel (P. cervicalis) have been reported breeding on Philip Island.

    Norfolk Island subtropical forests 2008

  • The Deep Cervical Vein (v. cervicalis profunda; posterior vertebral or posterior deep cervical vein) accompanies its artery between the Semispinales capitis and colli.

    VII. The Veins. 3b. 2. The Veins of the Neck 1918

  • The Profunda Cervicalis (a. cervicalis profunda; deep cervical branch) arises, in most cases, from the costocervical trunk, and is analogous to the posterior branch of an aortic intercostal artery: occasionally it is a separate branch from the subclavian artery.

    VI. The Arteries. 4. The Arteries of the Upper Extremity. a. The Subclavian Artery 1918

  • Passing backward, it gives off the profunda cervicalis, and, continuing as the highest intercostal artery, descends behind the pleura in front of the necks of the first and second ribs, and anastomoses with the first aortic intercostal.

    VI. The Arteries. 4. The Arteries of the Upper Extremity. a. The Subclavian Artery 1918

  • The ascending cervical artery (a. cervicalis ascendens) is a small branch which arises from the inferior thyroid as that vessel is passing behind the carotid sheath; it runs up on the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the cervical vertebræ in the interval between the Scalenus anterior and Longus capitis.

    VI. The Arteries. 4. The Arteries of the Upper Extremity. a. The Subclavian Artery 1918

  • The superficial portion runs beneath the Splenius, giving off branches which pierce that muscle to supply the Trapezius and anastomose with the ascending branch of the transverse cervical: the deep portion runs down between the Semispinales capitis and colli, and anastomoses with the vertebral and with the a. profunda cervicalis, a branch of the costocervical trunk.

    VI. The Arteries. 3a. 2. The External Carotid Artery 1918

  • The Cervical Plexus (plexus cervicalis) (Fig. 804).

    IX. Neurology. 6b. The Anterior Divisions 1918

  • The mandibular and hyoid arches grow more rapidly than those behind them, with the result that the latter become, to a certain extent, telescoped within the former, and a deep depression, the sinus cervicalis, is formed on either side of the neck.

    I. Embryology. 12. The Branchial Region 1918

  • These filaments join to form the descendens cervicalis, which passes downward on the lateral side of the internal jugular vein, crosses in front of the vein a little below the middle of the neck, and forms a loop (ansa hypoglossi) with the descending ramus of the hypoglossal in front of the sheath of the carotid vessels (see page 916).

    IX. Neurology. 6b. The Anterior Divisions 1918

  • From the first two nerves the branch joins the hypoglossal trunk, runs with it some distance, and sends off a branch to the Thyreohyoideus; it then leaves the hypoglossal to form the descendens hypoglossi and unites with the communicantes cervicalis from the second and third cervical nerves to form the ansa hypoglossi from which nerves pass to the other Infrahyoid muscles.

    IV. Myology. 5c. The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles 1918
