Neck muscles, artwork C014 / 5069
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 photo print, titled "Neck muscles, artwork C014 / 5069" offers a detailed glimpse into the intricate musculature of the human neck. The computer-generated artwork showcases various muscles that play crucial roles in head movement and stability. At the forefront are the longus colli muscles, which run along the length of the cervical spine. These powerful muscles enable flexion and rotation of the head. Adjacent to them are the longus capitis muscles, emerging from beneath the jaw and attaching to vertebrae. Together with their counterparts, they contribute to head flexion and rotation. Moving outward towards each side of the neck, we encounter another set of significant players –the scalene muscles. These three outermost neck muscles attach to ribs while aiding in head flexion towards one side and elevating both first and second ribs. The image also highlights other anatomical structures such as bones like hyoid bone, vertebral column including cervical vertebrae, as well as rectus capitis muscle. This comprehensive illustration provides valuable insights into our musculoskeletal system's complexity. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, this artwork serves not only as an aesthetic delight but also as an educational tool for understanding human anatomy better. It is a testament to how science can merge with artistry to create visually stunning representations that deepen our knowledge about ourselves.
