ATTACHMENTS: Spinous processes of C2 to T2. Spinous processes of T11 to L5. ACTIONS: Extends the neck and lower trunk at the spinal joints.

The posterior aspect of the neck is covered by muscles that connect the skull to the spinal column and pectoral girdle. These muscles can be divided into three layers; Superficial layer: Trapezius, splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. Deep layer: cervical transversospinalis muscles (semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis, multifidus cervicis) Deepest layer: suboccipital muscles, interspinales cervicis and intertransversarii colli muscles #anatomy #neckmuscles #neckpaintreatment #neckpain
