Longus Capitis
Posted on 30th Jul 2020 / Published in: Face
General information
Longus capitis is a deep, neck muscle situated anteriorly to the cervical spine. The prevertebral layer of neck muscles is comprised of the longus capitis, the rectus capitis anterior, rectus capitis lateralis, longus cervicis and anterior scalene muscles.
Literal meaning
The long muscle of the head.
Interesting information
The longus capitis muscle and the other muscles in the prevertebral layer of the neck are wrapped in the prevertebral layer of the cervical fascia, hence the name.
Origin
Anterior tubercles of transverse processes of C3-C6.
Insertion
Basilar part of occipital bone.
Function
Bilateral contraction – head flexion.
Ipsilateral contraction – head rotation (ipsilateral).
Nerve supply
Anterior rami of spinal nerves C1-C3.
Blood supply
Ascending cervical artery and the inferior thyroid artery.
Relevant research
There has been research conducted showing that due to the longus capitis muscle’s redundant function and muscle bulk, it can be used in soft palate reconstructions as a local flap which actually may result in a functioning reconstruction with little morbidity to the donor site.
