| deep cervical fascia | Fascia of the neck; it is divided into an external or investing layer (superficial lamina) that surrounds the neck and encloses the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, a middle or pretracheal layer in relation to the infrahyoid muscles, and a deep or prevertebral layer applied to the vertebrae and axial muscles. Synonym: fascia cervicalis, deep fascia of neck, fascia cervicalis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep cervical vein | <anatomy, vein> Large vein running with the artery of the same name between the semispinalis capitis and semispinalis cervicis draining the deep muscles at the back of the neck and emptying into the brachiocephalic or the vertebral vein. Synonym: vena cervicalis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
