AB  - The  posterior  triangle  of  the  neck  contains  many  important  landmarks  and  nervous  structures,  some  of  which  were  already  identified  in  past  dissections  but  which  we  will  now  locate  as  they  travel  within  the  neck.  But  first,  there  are  superficial  structures  that  will  need  to  be  identified.  The  platysma  is  a  thin  sheet  of  skeletal  muscle  that  is  invested  with  the  superficial  fascia  across  the  anterior  and  lateral  neck.  Be  cautious  when  using  a  scalpel  not  to  miss  this  muscle  of  facial  expression.  Posterior  to  the  sternocleidomastoid,  emerging  collectively  at  a  landmark  called  Erb's  Point,  are  a  collection  of  sensory  nerves  for  the  neck  that  are  part  of  the  cervical  plexus.  After  locating  these  structures  move  deeper  to  find  the  scalenes  and  the  trunks  of  the  brachial  plexus.
