How important is head and neck anatomy for step I...like I understand in the context of neurology (cranial nerves and neurology) this is important, but do you need to know all the neck muscles, facial muscles, palate muscles and their innervation, laryngeal muscles etc...? or would it just be best to limit urself to First aid and UWorld and maybe high yield neuroanatomy

Members don't see this ad.
 
Laryngeal muscles and some cranial nerve pathways (with assoc. muscles/action) are the most I've seen come up in Qbank (done half of ~half of Kaplan and a tenth of Rx)
 
Maybe knowing important structures within the given triangles, but not actual muscles of the neck (at least that I have seen)
 
to rehash this thread...I was wondering about all the cranial nerve circuits and pathways and ganglia...is that simply low yield?
