    The document describes three anatomical triangles in the neck: 1. Posterior triangle, bounded by the sternocleidomastoid muscle anteriorly and trapezius muscle posteriorly. Its roof is the investing layer of cervical fascia and floor is the scalene muscles. 2. Carotid triangle, bounded by the sternocleidomastoid muscle and omohyoid muscle superiorly and by the sternocleidomastoid and digastric muscles inferiorly. 3. Submandibular triangle, bounded inferiorly by the mandible and laterally by the two bellies of the digastric muscle.
