Neck muscles, artwork C014 / 5067

Neck muscles. Computer artwork showing the muscles at the front of the neck. The two muscles going down the length of the cervical spine are the longus colli muscles. The muscles emerging from beneath the jaw and attaching to the vertebrae are the longus capitis muscles. Both these sets of muscles act to flex and rotate the head. The outer three muscles on each side of the neck that attach to the ribs are the scalene muscles. These muscles flex the head to the same side and elevate the first and second ribs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Neck Muscles, Artwork C014 / 5067" offers a detailed glimpse into the intricate anatomy of the neck. The computer-generated artwork showcases various muscles that play crucial roles in movement and support of the head. At the forefront are the longus colli muscles, which run along the length of the cervical spine. These powerful muscles work in tandem with the longus capitis muscles, emerging from beneath the jaw and attaching to vertebrae, to flex and rotate our heads. Further outwards, we observe a set of three scalene muscles on each side of the neck. These particular muscles not only flex our heads towards one side but also elevate our first and second ribs. The image provides an exceptional view from below, allowing us to appreciate how these muscular structures interact with bones within our musculoskeletal system. It highlights their vital role in maintaining a healthy posture while enabling smooth movements of our head and neck. With its anatomical precision and attention to detail, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in biology or studying human anatomy. It is a testament to both scientific knowledge and artistic skill combined seamlessly by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library.
