CHAPTER IV. 



GENERAL TABLE OF THE INSERTIONS OF THE MUSCLES IN 



SOLIPEDS. 

 1. VERTEBRAL COLUMN. 



A. CEBVICAL VERTEBRAE. 



I. Atlas. 



The atlas gives insertion to nine pairs of muscles : 



a. By the surface representing the spinous process, to the' 



Small posterior recti muscles of the head. 



b. By its transverse processes, to the 



1. Splenius muscles. 



2. Small complexus muscles. 



3. Great oblique muscles of the head. 



4. Small oblique muscles of the head. 



5. Mastoido-humeralis muscles. 



c. By its body, to the 



1. Small anterior recti muscles of the head. 



2. Small lateral recti muscles. 



3. Long muscle of the iieck. 



II. Axis. 



The axis gives insertion to six pairs of muscles : 



a. By its spinous process, to the 



1. Transverse spinous muscles of the neck. 



2. Great oblique muscles of the head. 



3. Great posterior recti muscles of the head. 



b. By its transverse processes, to the 



1. Intertransverse muscles of the neck. 



2. Mastoido-huineralis muscles. 



And by the inferior face of its body, to the 



3. Long muscle of the neck. 



III. Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Cervical Vertebra. 

 These vertebrae give insertion to the following muscles : 

 a. By their spinous processes, to the 



1. Transverse spinous muscles of the neck. 



2. Ilio-spinalis muscles (4th to the 7th). 



6. By their articular tubercles, to the 

 1. Great complexus muscles. 

 2.. Small complexus muscles. 



3. Transverse spinous muscles of the neck. 



4. Intertransverse muscles of the neck. 



c. By their transverse processes, to he 



1. Angular muscles of the scapula. 



2. Splenius muscles (3rd and 4th). 



3. Mastoido-huineralis muscles (3rd and 4th). 



4. Common intercostal muscles (7th). 



5. Intertransverse muscles of the neck. 



6. Ilio-spinalis muscles (inferior branch).
