sept 27-oct 4 Flashcards
rectus capitis posterior major/minor and obliquus capitis inferior/superior are the 4 What muscles
suboccipital muscles
suboccipital muscle. attaches SP of C2 to inferior nuchal line
rectus capitis posterior major
suboccipital muscle. actions: ipsilateral rotation of the head, extend the head on the neck
rectus capitis posterior major
suboccipital muscle. attaches posterior arch of C1 to inferior nuchal line
rectus capitis posterior minor
suboccipital muscle. action: extend the head on the neck
rectus capitis posterior minor
suboccipital muscle. attaches SP of C2 to TVP of C1
obliquus capitis inferior
suboccipital muscle. action: ipsilateral rotation of the head
obliquus capitis inferior
suboccipital muscle. attaches TVP of C1 to between superior and inferior nuchal line
obliquus capitis superior
suboccipital muscle. actions: lateral flexion of head/neck, extension of head on the neck
obliquus capitis superior
the most lateral 3 suboccipital muscles form what
suboccipital triangle
suboccipital muscle. forms the inferolateral border of the suboccipital triangle
obliquus capitis inferior
suboccipital muscle. forms the superolateral border of the suboccipital triangle
obliquus capitis superior
suboccipital muscle. forms the superomedial border of the suboccipital triangle
rectus capitis posterior major
floor of the suboccipital triangle
posterior atlanto-occipital membrane
roof of the suboccipital triangle
semispinalis
contents of the suboccipital triangle
vertebral artery and suboccipital nerve
pre-vertebral muscle. attaches lateral mass of C1 to occiput
rectus capitis anterior
pre-vertebral muscle. action: flexes head on the neck
rectus capitis anterior
pre-vertebral muscle. attaches TVP of C1 to occiput
rectus capitis lateralis
pre-vertebral muscle. actions: flexes head on the neck, laterally flexes head on the neck
rectus capitis lateralis
pre-vertebral muscle. attaches body of T3 to anterior tubercle of C1
longus colli/cervicis
pre-vertebral muscle. action: neck flexion
longus colli/cervicis
pre-vertebral muscle. attaches TVPs of C3-C6
longus capitis
pre-vertebral muscle. action: head/neck flexion
longus capitis
lateral neck muscle. attaches anterior tubercles of C3-6 TVPs to rib 1
anterior scalene
lateral neck muscle. actions: neck flexion, ipsilateral lateral neck flexion, elevation of rib 1 during forced inhalation, contralateral rotation of the neck (weak)
anterior scalene
lateral neck muscle. attaches posterior tubercles of C2-7 TVPs to rib 1
middle scalene
lateral neck muscle. actions: ipsilateral lateral flexion, elevates rib 2 during forced inhalation
middle scalene
lateral neck muscle. attaches posterior tubercles of C4-6 to the sternum and clavicle
posterior scalene
lateral neck muscle. actions: contralateral rotation of head/neck, neck flexion (if head/neck is neutral or flexed), head extension (if already extended), assists with inspiration
posterior scalene
structure of the body made of the mandible, scm, and midsagittal plane of the neck
anterior cervical triangle
