The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas). The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into:
lateral head: lateral sesamoid bone of metatarsophalangeal joint, proximal phalanx of great toe medial plantar nerve: flexes big toe: extensor hallucis longus: 2 1 adductor hallucis: Lower limb, plantar, Third layer, left/right oblique head: proximal ends of middle 3 metatarsals. transverse head: metatarsophalangeal joints, ligaments of lateral ...

The dorsal rami provide motor innervation to the deep (a.k.a. intrinsic or true) muscles of the back, and sensory innervation to the skin of the posterior portion of the head, neck and back. [1] A spinal nerve splits within the intervertebral foramen to form a dorsal ramus and a ventral ramus. The dorsal ramus then turns to course posterior ...
The scalene muscles are a group of three muscles on each side of the neck, identified as the anterior, the middle, and the posterior. They are innervated by the third to the eighth cervical spinal nerves (C3-C8). The anterior and middle scalene muscles lift the first rib and bend the neck to the side they are on. The posterior scalene lifts the ...
