anterior tubercles of transverse processes of C3–C6 vertebrae [2]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
inferior surfaces of the basilar portion of the occipital bone.[2]
Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]
muscular branches of C1 – C4[2]
Blood Supply[edit | edit source]
Muscular branches of the ascending cervical artery. [3]
Action[edit | edit source]
acting bilaterally: flexion of the cervical vertebrae and head;
acting unilaterally: rotation and lateral flexion of the cervical vertebrae and head to the same side [2]
