Study Notes

The epicranial aponeurosis is a broad tendon and intermediate section of the occipitofrontalis muscle.
The occipitofrontalis muscle includes the occipitalis muscle, frontalis muscle, and epicranial aponeurosis.
Temporoparietalis, temporalis, platysma, and sternocleidomastoid are muscles of the head and neck.
Muscles surrounding the larynx aid in swallowing and positioning the vocal cords.
The intrinsic muscles of the thyroid cartilage dictate the voice.
Posterior cervical muscles primarily cause neck extension and assist in holding the head in an upright position.
Intervertebral muscles provide motion to the spine.
The multifidus muscles play an important role in stabilizing joints within the spine.
The rotatores muscles are small and quadrilateral in shape and are involved in proprioception and postural control.
The suboccipital muscles in the cervical region are named according to their position below the occipital bone.
The suboccipital muscles stabilize the head and neck
The rectus capitis posterior minor is a postural muscle that extends the head and neck
The rectus capitis posterior major allows for extension and rotation of the head
The obliquus capitis superior is a small muscle that forms the lateral part of the suboccipital triangle
The obliquus capitis inferior is the larger muscle that forms the inferior part of the suboccipital triangle
Longus Colli is made up of three parts and is found on the anterior part of each vertebra between the atlas and third thoracic vertebrae
Longus Colli is often injured in rear whiplash accidents
Longus capitis is broad at the superior end and narrow below where it attaches to the tubercles of the anterior transverse processes
Table 1 shows cervical spine intervertebral muscles
Table 2 shows deep suboccipitals and deep anterior cervical muscles
