What is splenius cervicis?

splenius cervicis is smaller muscles located deep at the back of the neck. This muscle is located under the top trapezoid, which is a large superficial muscle of the neck and back that shrugs. In a layer of muscles under the trapezoid, splenius cervicis is wedged between Kosoč. Smaller and major, which are just below it and more medical to the spine, and a levator blade, which is slightly above it and more laterally to the spine on the neck. Its function is to prolong, bend or bend the side laterally and rotate the neck. Specifically, it arises from spinious processes of these vertebrae, which are a pair of bony eminence, which protrude back from the body of the vertebra, which are visible as bumps along the spine. From there, splenius cervicis rises, the Jehovýkna curves slightly and then returns and place high on the cervical spine. Rather than attaching the tendon, the muscles of the fascicles or small bundles of muscle fibers wrapped in connective tissue that attach the muscles to the transverse processes of the highest two or three uterine vertebrae. Transverse processes are small bEye projections from the vertebral body, which means that the muscles end along the neck.

In anatomical drawings, splenius cervicis is somewhat connected with a larger spleni capitis directly above it. The primary extension of the head and neck, the chapter is flat and wide and stretches up and slightly laterally from the cervical and upper thoracic spine to the skull base. In other words, its origin corresponds to the origin of cervicis, but superficially turns to the cervicis towards the head, with the fibers smaller cervicis passing under it towards their attachment on the upper cervical spine. This integration means that splenius cervicis helps in the function of the chapter in prolongation, laterally bending and turning the head, but to a lesser extent.

While cervicis can act bilaterally to extend the neck and head, which means that both sides are withdrawing simultaneously, acting unilaterally or on the one hand on the other to bending and turning their heads. At the same time he moves his head on the sthe tran on which contractions are taking place. Therefore, during contractions on the right side of the neck, splenius cervicis can tilt the head to the right and turn the head to the right on the neck.
