name superior_root_of_ansa_cervicalis namespace http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de# parent branches_of_nerves nameEnglishSynonym [] superior limb of ansa cervicalis annotationRemark [] dka comment [en] The superior root of the ansa cervicalis is formed by a branch of spinal nerve C1. These nerve fibers travel in the hypoglossal nerve before leaving to form the superior root. The superior root goes around the occipital artery and then descends on the carotid sheath. It sends off branches to the superior belly of the omohyoid muscle, and the upper parts of the sternothyroid and sternohyoid muscles and is then joined by the inferior root. label [med] Radix superior ansae cervicalis label [en] superior root of ansa cervicalis organNo [] 82014 nameMedicineSynonym [] Radix anterior ansae cervicalis speciesNo [] 86 ACC [] cy0009535 isPartOf ansa_cervicalis hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#glioblast hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#fibroblast hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#histiocyte hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#fibrocyte hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#glial_cell_of_peripheral_nervous_system hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#macrophage hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#synovial_cell_phagocytic isPartOf adult hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#terminal_glial_cyte
