Suboccipital muscles and nerve, artwork C014 / 5098
Suboccipital muscles. Computer artwork of the back of the base of the skull showing nerves (yellow) and the suboccipital muscles (pink). The two muscles at centre, which attach at the base of the skull (occipital bone) and the first vertebra of the spine (the atlas), are the rectus capitis posterior minor. Either side of those are the rectus capitis posterior major, which attach at the occipital bone and the spinous process of the second vertebra of the spine (the axis). Outside of these are the obliquus capitis superior, which attach the occipital bone to the transverse process of the atlas. These last two muscles are innervated by the occipital nerve. The horizontal muscle attached to the transverse process of the atlas and the spinous process of the axis is the obliquus capitis inferior. These muscles are responsible for extending and rotating the head. The spinal cord runs down the centre of the spine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the suboccipital muscles and nerves, offering a fascinating glimpse into the complexity of human anatomy. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a view from below, focusing on the back of the base of the skull. The pink-colored suboccipital muscles take center stage in this image. At the core, we find two rectus capitis posterior minor muscles that connect to both the occipital bone and the first vertebra of the spine. Surrounding them are larger rectus capitis posterior major muscles that attach to the occipital bone and spinous process of the second vertebra. Extending outward from these central muscles are obliquus capitis superior fibers which link together the occipital bone and transverse process of atlas. These last two muscles receive innervation from none other than our yellow-highlighted occipital nerve. Notably visible is also an obliquus capitis inferior muscle running horizontally between transverse processes of atlas and spinous process axis – responsible for extending and rotating our head. As we delve deeper into this anatomical wonderland, it becomes evident how interconnected everything truly is. The spinal cord gracefully runs down through each cervical vertebrae within our vertebral column, serving as a vital conduit for communication between body and brain. This stunning illustration not only highlights our musculoskeletal system but also sheds light on various components such as bones (including hyoid bone), nerves (like brachial plexus), and even offers insights into our nervous system's functioning. A true testament to nature's brilliance!
