The Regio cervicalis anterior (Latin for 'front neck region') or middle neck triangle is one of the regions of the neck . The unpaired region lies in the center of the front of the neck and is bounded on both sides by the sternocleidomastoid muscle . The upper border is formed by the chin and the lower border of the body of the lower jaw , the lower border by the handle of the sternum ( manubrium sterni ) and the thrush fossa .

The anterior neck region is further divided into:

• the unpaired kin triangle ( Trigonum submentale ) and the paired one
• Lower jaw triangle ( Trigonum submandibulare ),
• Carotid triangle ( Trigonum caroticum ) and
