what 4 muscles make up the suboccipital region?
The suboccipital region is made up of the rectis capitis posterior major, tbhe rectus capitis posterior minor, the obliquous capitis superior and obliquos capitous inferior
rectus capitis major origin and insertion
origin is C2 and it inserts on the lateral part of the inferior nuchal line of the occipital bone
rectis capitis posterior minor origin and insertion
origin is C1 and insertion is the medial third of the inferior nuchal line
obliquous capitis inferior origin and insertion
arise from the spinous process of C2 and inserts on the transverse process of C1
obliquous capitice superior origin and insertion
arises from the ransverse process of C1 and inserts into the occipital bone between the superior and inferior nuchal lines
what is the origin of the suboccipital nerve?
posterior ramus of C1 spinal nerve
what is the origin of the greater occipital nerve?
posterior ramus of C2 spinal nerve
what is the origin of the lesser occipital nerve?
