Posterol axis 01, Inferior oblique; SS, Semispinalis ; the area for Multifidus 



follow the movements of the head ; the post, primary div. of the second erv (g ~ 



GO) runs above this pad below the Inferior oblique to turn up round ^"""J^ 

 lamina. On the transverse process are : Tr. Intertransverse ; LAS. Lev. ang. scapula; , 

 colli. Compare Figs. 15 and 17. 



FIG 19 Front view of atlas and axis. The rudiments of the anterior tubercles are shown at a. On the 

 axis the narrow ligamentous area (lig.) indicates the narrowing of the ant. common tig. to its attach- 

 ment on the atlas at ACL ; the concave areas on each side of it are filled by Rect. ant. major, Longus 

 colli also passing up deep to this to insertion (LC) on atlas. On the atlas the spinal accessory (XI) and 

 suboccipital (iCN) nerves cross the transverse process ; internal to the last the Rectus anticus minor 

 arises The tip of the odontoid is seen above the anterior arch. AOA. anterior occipito-atloid lig., 

 lateral and middle. The hollow between a and the anterior tubercle is filled by Rect. anticus major.

,Fio. 20. Diagram of atlas from above, showing structures in relation with it. Observe the situation of 

 the suboccipital nerve, the relation of its two divisions to the vertebral artery, and the emergence of 

 its anterior part between R. ant. minor and R. lat. The posterior wall of pharynx is in close contact 

 with R. ant. major and, between the two muscles, is related to the atlas. R. post, minor is on the 

 posterior tubercle.
