Description[edit | edit source]
Musculus obliquus capitis superior is a member of the suboccipital group of muscles along with Obliquus capitis inferior, Rectus capitis posterior major & Rectus capitis Posterior minor. It is narrow below, wide and expanded above, and is lateral to semispinalis capitis. It forms the superolateral border of the suboccipital triangle.[1]
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Origin[edit | edit source]
superior surface of the transverse process of the atlas (C1)[2]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
Between the superior and inferior nuchal lines of the occipital bone[2]
Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]
Suboccipital nerve or dorsal ramus of cervical spinal nerve (C1)[3]
Blood Supply[edit | edit source]
The muscle receives its blood supply from the vertebral artery and the deep descending branch of the occipital artery.[3]
Function[edit | edit source]
A postural muscle that monitors the position of the head.[3]
Actions[edit | edit source]
Bilaterally they extend the head; unilaterally they laterally flex the the head to the same side as the muscle.[2]
