From the anterior border of the nuchal ligament, a fibrous lamina is given off. This is attached to the posterior tubercle of the atlas, and to the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae, and forms a septum between the muscles on either side of the neck. The trapezius and splenius capitis muscle attach to the nuchal ligament.
The nuchal lines are four curved lines on the external surface of the occipital bone: The upper, often faintly marked, is named the highest nuchal line, but is sometimes referred to as the Mempin line or linea suprema, and it attaches to the epicranial aponeurosis. Below the highest nuchal line is the superior nuchal line.
[2] [12] Larger and more robust skeletal structures in males is also attributable to better developed muscle scarring, and more intense cresting of bones compared to those of females. Male gorillas, for example, possess large sagittal and nuchal crests, which correspond to their large temporalis muscles and nuchal musculature.
Has a noticeable hump between its shoulder blades which unlike the camel is formed from muscle. The muscles assist in the shovelling of snow in winter allowing access to food. [1] Moose - or elk (in Eurasia) is the largest and heaviest extant species in the deer family. Like the bison it has evolved large muscles on top of its neck to help it ...
Medial part of the inferior nuchal line of the occipital bone and the surface between it and the foramen magnum: Nerve: Branch of the dorsal primary division of the suboccipital nerve: Actions: Extends the head at the neck, but is now considered to be more of a sensory organ than a muscle: Identifiers; Latin: musculus rectus capitis posterior ...
The nuchal fascia is a fascia covering the autochthonous musculature of the neck as a part of the cervical fascia.It proceeds the thoracolumbar fascia to the top (cranial). ). The fascia itself is made of two parts: A superficial layer (lat.: Fascia nuchae superficialis) and a deeper layer that is located among the Trapezius muscle and that sheaths the deeper cervical musculature from dorsal s
Can we imagine ourselves back on that awful day in the summer of 2010, in the hot firefight that went on for nine hours? Men frenzied with exhaustion and reckless exuberance, eyes and throats burning from dust and smoke, in a battle that erupted after Taliban insurgents castrated a young boy in the village, knowing his family would summon nearby Marines for help and the Marines would come ...
Included are mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, lemmings, and voles. They are grouped according to the structure of their jaws and molar teeth . They are characterized by their myomorphous zygomasseteric system , which means that both their medial and lateral masseter muscles are displaced forward, making them adept at gnawing.
