Corpus: Longus capitis muscle: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Aktuelle Version vom 8. August 2024, 09:27 Uhr

Definition

The longus capitis muscle is a muscle that is part of the prevertebral neck musculature.

Course

The longus capitis muscle runs along the front of the upper cervical spine.

Origin

The muscle originates from the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the 3rd to 6th cervical vertebrae and then runs obliquely medially.

Attachment

It attaches to the occipital bone lateral to the pharyngeal tubercle.

Innervation

The longus capitis muscle is innervated by the ventral branches of the spinal nerves C1-C3 via the prevertebral branches of the cervical plexus.

Function

The longus capitis muscle functions to flex (bend) the head forward and acts as an antagonist to the neck extensor muscles. When contracted unilaterally, it also contributes to the rotation of the head.
