Triangles of the neck

The video tutorial explores the complex anatomy of the neck, focusing on the organization of its structures into triangles. It covers the anterior and posterior triangles, detailing their borders, contents, and clinical significance. The anterior triangle is divided into submandibular, submental, muscular, and carotid triangles, each with specific anatomical features. The posterior triangle includes the supraclavicular and occipital triangles. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of these triangles in clinical practice, such as evaluating pulses and identifying lymph node enlargement.
