SOLIPEDS. 



1. VEBTBBBAL COLUMN. 

 A. CERVICAL VERTEBILE. 



I. Atlas. 



The atlas gives insertion to nine pairs of muscles : 



a. By tiie surface representing tlie spinous process, to the 



Small posterior recti muscles of tho liead. 



b. By its transverse processes, to tJie 



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 Lead. 



2. Small lateral recti muscles. 



3. Long muscle of the neck. 



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-humeralis muscles. 



And by the inferior face of its body, to the 



3. Long muscle of the neck. 



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

 These vertebra) give insertion to the following muscles : 

 a. By their spinous processes, to the

2. Small complexus muscles. 



3. Transverse spinous muscles of the neck. 



4. Intertransverse muscles of the neck. 



c. By their transverse processes, t he 



1. Angular muscles of the scapula. 



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