Fascia spaces
Suprasternal space
3 cm above manubrium of
sterni the investing fascia splits into
two layers, which are attached to
the anterior and posterior margins
of the upper border of the
manubrium, between these two
layers is a slit-like space, called the
suprasternal space
Contains connective tissue, and
sometimes a lymph node

Shape and position
H-shape
Left and right lobes: lie on either
side of inferior part of larynx and
superior part of trachea, extend from
middle of thyroid cartilage to level of
sixth trachea cartilage
Isthmus: overlies 2nd to 4th tracheal
cartilage
Pyramidal lobe: some times arises
from isthmus
