Description[edit | edit source]

Spinalis Cervicis belongs to the medial column of the Sacrospinalis group of muscles.[1] 

Origin[edit | edit source]

Lower part of ligamentum nuchae (C4 to C6) and spinous process of C7 to T2.[2][3]   

Insertion[edit | edit source]

Spinous processes of C2 and sometimes the 3rd and 4th cervical spinous process.[3]   

Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]

Dorsal rami of cervical and thoracic spinal nerves (C4 to T1).[2]   

Blood Supply[edit | edit source]

Dorsal branches of the posterior intercostal arteries from the thoracic aorta.[2] 

Action[edit | edit source]

Bilaterally they extend the spine; unilaterally they laterally flex and rotate the spine tp same side.[3]
