– origin: the tubercle on the posterior arch of the atlas; – insertion: the medial part of the inferior nuchal line of the occipital bone and the surface between it and the foramen magnum; – action: extends the head at the neck; – nerve supply: a branch of the dorsal primary division of the suboccipital nerve; … Read more
origin: anterior surface of the lateral mass of the atlas and the root of its transverse process; insertion: the inferior surface of the occipital bone anterior to the foreamen magnum; action: aids in flexion of the head and the neck; nerve supply: C1, C2; synergists: Sternocleidomastoid, Longus Colli, Longus Capitis
