Upper Spine Anatomy
Skeletal Anatomy of Upper Spine
the cervical spine, is a well-engineered structure of bones, nerves, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The cervical spine is delicate—housing the spinal cord that sends messages from the brain to control all aspects of the body—while also remarkably strong and flexible, allowing the neck to move in all directions.
The cervical spine has 7 stacked bones called vertebrae, labeled C1 through C7. The top of the cervical spine connects to the skull, and the bottom connects to the upper back at about shoulder level. As viewed from the side, the cervical spine forms a lordotic curve by gently curving toward the front of the body and then back.
Muscle Anatomy of Upper Spine
There are four sets of muscles that help move the head. They are the sternocleidomastoid, semispinalis capitis, splenius capitis, and longissimus capitis muscles.
The sternocleidomastoids are strong, large muscles located on either side of the neck. Individually, they rotate the head left or right. Together, they flex or bend the head towards the chest. These muscles start at the breastbone (sternum) and collarbone (clavicle) and end behind the ears (at the mastoid process of the temporal bone of the skull).
The semispinalis capitis, splenius capitis, and longissimus capitis muscles all help the head extend toward the back. They also work with sternocleidomastoid muscles to rotate the head left and right.
The semispinalis capitis, splenius capitis, and longissimus capitis are three pairs of muscles that help the head extend toward the back. They also work with sternocleidomastoid muscles to rotate the head left and right.
