4 muscles of sub occipital triangle
Inf. oblique
Sup. oblique
Rectus capitus post. major
rectus capitus post. minor
All 4 muscles of sub occipital triangle are innervated by
dorsal ramus C1 “suboccipital nerve”:somatic motor
Sub occipital triangle:transverse process of C1 to spinous process of C2; makes atlas (C1) pivot on axis (C2); same-side rotation
Inferior oblique
Sub occipital triangle:transverse process of C1 to skull
Superior oblique
Sub occipital triangle: spinous process of C2 to skull
rectus capitus posterior major
Name two muscles that have attachment at the transverse process of C1 (atlas)
superior oblique and inferior oblique
posterior tubercle of C1 to skull
rectus capitus posterior minor
Name two muscles that have attachment at the spinous process of C2 (axis)
inferior oblique, rectus capitus posterior major, and semispinalis cervicis
Name muscle that attaches at the posterior tubercle of C1 (atlas)
rectus capitus posterior minor
Name artery lying on top of the atlas (C1)
vertebral
Name source and termination of vertebral artery
source: subclavian artery
termination: basilar artery
