Rectus head muscles (anterior and lateral). B
From the anterior arch of the atlas to the basilar part of the occipital bone.
Function: tilts his head forward.
4. Lateral rectus muscle of the head (m. Rectus capitis lateralis)
From the transverse process of the atlas to the lateral part of the occipital bone.
Function: tilts his head to the side.
Fascia of the neck according to V.N. Shevkunenko:
1. The first fascia is the superficial fascia of the neck (fascia colli superficialis)- thin, loose, located under the skin, forms a vagina on the neck subcutaneous muscle neck. Fuses with the skin with connective tissue cords; from the neck area passes to the face and chest.
2. The second fascia is the superficial plate of the own fascia of the neck (lamina superficialis fasciae colli propriae).
It starts from the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae and from the upper nuchal line, splitting into two plates, the fascia covers the trapezius muscle on both sides, forming a vagina for it, at the anterior edge of the plate muscles merge and then the fascia goes as a single sheet. At the posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, it bifurcates again, covers the muscle on both sides (the sheath for the sternocleidomastoid muscle) and again goes from its front edge as a single leaf, along the midline of the neck fuses with the fascia of the same name on the opposite side and deep plate of the own fascia of the neck (third fascia), from below it is attached to the anterior surface of the handle of the sternum and the upper surface of the clavicle, from above - to the mastoid process and the lower edge of the body mandible. In the place where the second fascia passes over the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae, a fascial spur extends deep from it and is attached to the transverse processes, in the form of a frontally located plate that separates the anterior neck from the posterior. This plate separates the tissue of the anterior and posterior sections of the neck, so some pathological processes in them proceed independently of each other. On the face, the second fascia passes into the fascia parotideomasseterica, which forms a capsule of the parotid salivary gland and covers the chewing muscle from the outside.
3. The third fascia, or deep plate of the own fascia of the neck (lamina profunda fasciae colli propriae), otherwise aponeurosis omoclavicularis.
It has the shape of a trapezoid and is stretched between the hyoid bone at the top and the back surface of the clavicle and sternum. From the sides it is limited by the scapular-hyoid muscles, for which it forms a vagina. In the middle third, it takes the form of an aponeurosis, strong annular bundles appear in it, covering the intermediate tendon of the scapular-hyoid muscle and serving as a fixation point for it, allowing the muscle to contract in separate portions. The third fascia forms the sheaths for the muscles of the neck: the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and thyrohyoid muscles. Also, through the spurs, the third fascia is connected with the transverse processes of the lower cervical vertebrae. The second and third fascia along the midline fuse with each other, forming white line neck. It is 2-3 cm wide and does not reach the notch of the sternum by about 3 cm, because in the lower part of the neck the second and third fascia diverge and because the second fascia is attached to the anterior surface of the sternum and collarbone, and the third to their back surface, then a cellular space is formed between these fascia.
4. Fourth fascia, or visceral fascia of the neck (fascia endocervicalis).
It distinguishes two sheets: parietal and visceral. Visceral covers the pharynx, esophagus, larynx, trachea, thyroid gland. The parietal is located in front and on the sides of the listed organs of the neck, is adjacent to the back wall of the muscle sheath (sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyroid, scapular-hyoid) and forms a sheath for the neurovascular bundle of the internal cervical triangle (common carotid artery, internal jugular vein, vagus nerve). Inside this sheath, separate cases are formed for the artery, vein and nerve.

These three muscles are located in the upper part of the cervical spine (Fig. 72). They almost completely cover upper part three bundles: d,a,l long neck muscles.
The long muscle of the head.
The longus capitis (lt) muscle is the most medial of the three muscles in contact with the homologous muscle on the opposite side. It is attached to the lower surface of the base of the occipital bone in front of the foramen magnum and lies on a long stalk (d). It ends with tendons on the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. It affects the suboccipital part of the cervical spine and the upper part of the lower cervical region. Bilateral contraction causes flexion of the head relative to the cervical region and flattening of the lordosis in the upper part of the neck. A unilateral contraction causes the head to tilt forward and to the side of the contraction.
Anterior rectus capitis.
The anterior rectus muscle of the head (da) lies behind and laterally from the previous one and stretches from the base of the occipital bone and the anterior surface of the lateral mass of the atlas to the anterior tubercle of its transverse process. It goes obliquely down and slightly laterally. Bilateral contraction of these muscles produces a tilt of the head relative to the cervical region at the level of the atlantooccipital joint. A unilateral contraction produces a triple movement of forward tilt, rotation, and lean toward the contraction, occurring at the atlantooccipital joint.
Straight lateral muscle heads.
The rectus lateral muscle of the head (dl) is the uppermost of the transverse muscles. It is attached above to the jugular processes of the occipital bone and below to the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the atlas. It lies laterally from the anterior rectus muscle and on the anterior surface of the atlantooccipital joint.
Its bilateral contraction produces a forward tilt of the head relative to the cervical region, unilateral contraction - a slight tilt of the head in the direction of contraction. Both of these movements occur at the atlantooccipital joint.

Origin: from the transverse processes of the II-VII cervical vertebrae.
Attachment: to the ribs; front and middle - to the 1st rib, and the back - to the 2nd rib.
Function: raise the I and II ribs, expand the chest, i.e. participate in respiratory movements chest; tilt the cervical spine forward and to the sides.
2. Prevertebral muscles: longus muscle head and neck, rectus muscles of the head (anterior and lateral).
Beginning: from the body of the cervical lower and upper thoracic vertebrae.
Attachment: the long muscle of the neck - to the cervical vertebrae; long muscle of the head - to the main part of the occipital bone.
Function: tilt the cervical spine forward, turn the head.
Beginning: from the first cervical vertebra.
Attachment: to an occipital bone.

4. Fascia of the neck.
They are combined into a common fascia of the neck, which is divided into 3 sheets (plates).
1. Surface- located under the platysma and forms a sheath for the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
2. Pretracheal- stretched between both scapular-hyoid muscles, covers the salivary glands and forms sheaths for the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles, as well as for other neck structures located in front of the trachea (larynx, pharynx, esophagus).
3. Prevertebral- covers the prevertebral and scalene muscles, forming a sheath for them.
anterior et lateralis.Beginning of the muscle: from the lateral mass of the atlas (anterior) and
pepper process (lateral). Muscle Attachment: to the occipital bone.
Function: m. rectus capitis anterior et lateralis m. longus capitis bend the head
anterior; when the muscles of one side contract, the head tilts
right or left.
Fascia of the neck.
Cervical fascia, fascia cervicalis. This term is used to designate
of the connective tissue membranes of the neck.
There are three plates of the cervical fascia: superficial, pretracheal
nuyu and prevertebral.
Superficial plate, lamina superficialis. Covers the entire surface
neck and lies behind the subcutaneous muscle of the neck. Covers the chest
clavicular mastoid and trapezius muscles. Attached to the front
mu edge of the handle of the sternum, collarbone and lower jaw.
Pretracheal plate, lamina pretrachealis. Expressed in the bottom
neck section. Stretched between two scapular-hyoid muscles and pre-
attached to the posterior edge of the handle of the sternum and collarbone. Covers the instep
tongue muscles.
Prevertebral plate, lamina prevertebralis. Located between
du spinal column column on one side, pharynx and esophagus, - with
another. Covers stair, sympathetic trunks and diaphragmatic nerves
Neck areas
The upper border of the neck is drawn from the chin along the base and back
edge of the lower jaw branch to the temporomandibular joint,
should go down and backwards (through the top of the mastoid process of the temporal bone)
along the upper nuchal line to the external protrusion of the occipital bone.
The lower border of the neck runs from the jugular notch of the sternum along the upper
foot vertebra.
There are the following areas of the neck: anterior, sternocleidomastoid
visible right and left, lateral right and left and back.
Anterior region of the neck, regio cervicalis anterior, has the shape of a triangle
the base of which is turned upwards. The area is bounded from above by the base
lower jaw, from below - by the jugular notch of the sternum, on the sides - by the anterior
edges of the right and left sternocleidomastoid muscles. Front middle
a long line divides this region of the neck into the right and left medial triangular
neck neck (trigonum cervicale mediale, dexter et sinister).
grudino- clavicular- mastoidregion, regio sternocleido-mastoidea
(steam room), corresponds to the location of the muscle of the same name and extends into
the form of a strip from the mastoid process.
Lateral region of the neck, regio cervicalis lateralis(steam room), has the form
triangle, the sharpest corner of which is directed upwards; area
lies between the posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in front and
lateral edge of the trapezius muscle behind. The key is limited from below
The back of the neck (nuchal region), regio cervicalis posterior (regio
nuchae), on the sides (right and left) delimited by the lateral edges of the trapezoid
cius muscles, from above - by the upper nuchal line, from below - by the transverse line,
connecting the right and left acromions and carried through the spinous from-
sprout of the VII cervical vertebra. The posterior midline divides this region of the neck
on the right and left sides.
Within the anterior and lateral regions of the neck, a series of triangular
nikov, knowledge of which is of great practical importance, especially when operating
reactive interventions. In the anterior region of the neck on each side there are different
There are three triangles: carotid, scapular-tracheal and submandibular
Sleepy triangle, trigonum caroticum (fossa carotica), rear limit-
chen front edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, front and bottom -

scapular-tracheal triangle, trigonum omotracheale, located-
lies between the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle behind and
from below, by the upper belly of the scapular-hyoid muscle above and laterally,
and anterior midline medially.
Submandibular triangle, trigonum submandibulare (fossa
submandibularis), bounded below by the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric
muscles, from above - the body of the lower jaw. In the area of this triangle lies
salivary gland of the same name. Within the submandibular triangle
emit a small, but very important for surgery lingual triangle,
trigonum linguale (Pirogov's triangle). Front is limited to the back
the edge of the maxillohyoid muscle, behind and below - the posterior belly of the two
abdominal muscle, from above - the hypoglossal nerve. The entire area of the triangle
occupies the hyoid-lingual muscle, spreading the fibers of which, you can
expose the lingual artery.
In the lateral region of the neck, two triangles are distinguished: scapular-
trapezius and scapular-clavicular.
Scapular-trapezoid triangle, trigonum omotrapezoideum,
limited by the posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in front, la-
lateral edge of the trapezius muscle behind and the lower belly of the scapular
but-hyoid muscle from below.

Distinguish interstitial space, spatium interscalenum, between
middle and anterior scalene muscles: from below it is limited by the 1st rib.
Through this space pass the subclavian artery and trunks of the brachial
plexus.
Prescalene space, spatium antescalenum, limited special
along the edges of the sternothyroid and sternohyoid muscles, behind - pe-
scalenus mediaus muscle. Through this space passes the subclavian
MUSCLES OF THE HEAD
The muscles of the head are divided into mimic and chewing. mimic-
skeletal muscles differ from muscles in other areas of the human body in both
origin, and the nature of attachment.
CHECKING MUSCLES
Develop from the first branchial arch and attach to the lower jaw
sti, which is moved during contractions.
1. Actually chewing muscle, m. masseter.Beginning of the muscle: from
the lower edge of the zygomatic bone, muscle attachment: to chewing tuberosity
lower jaw.
2. Temporal muscle, m. temporalis. Occupies the entire space of the temporal
fossa, reaching at the top to the temporal line. Muscle bundles converge to form
a strong tendon, which, passing under the zygomatic arch, is attached to the eye
limbic process of the lower jaw.
3. Lateral pterygoid muscle, m. pterygoideus lateralis.Start
muscles: from lower surface of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and pterygoid
prominent branch. Attached other muscles: to the neck of the su tavian process of the lower
jaw and mandibular joint capsule.
4. Medial pterygoid muscle, m. pterygoideus medialis.Start
muscles: from the pterygoid fossa of the pterygoid process. Muscle Attachment:
on the medial surface of the angle of the lower jaw to the tuberosity of the same name.
Function chewing muscles: m. masseter, m. temporalis and m.
pterygoideus medialis close the lower jaw with the upper (close the mouth).
With the simultaneous reduction of both mm. pterygoideus laterales occurs
protrusion of the lower jaw forward. The reverse movement is produced by the most
posterior fibers m. temporalis. If m. pterygoideus lateralis is reduced only
on one side, then the lower jaw moves sideways - to the side, pro-
opposite to the contracting muscle.
MIMIC MUSCLES
They are thin and small muscle bundles, most of them
which are grouped around natural openings: mouth, nose, palpebral fissure and
ear, taking part in their closure or expansion. Closers (sphincte-
ry) are located around the holes annularly, and dilators (dilato-
ry) - radially.
