It is situated anterior to the cervical vertebrae and plays a crucial role in the flexion of the head and neck.<br /> <br /> ==Anatomy==<br /> The longus capitis muscle originates from the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the third to sixth cervical vertebrae (C3-C6). It inserts into the basilar part of the [[occipital bone]].<br /> <br /> ==Innervation==<br /> The longus capitis muscle is innervated by the anterior rami of the first to third cervical spinal nerves (C1-C3).<br /> <br /> ==Function==<br /> The primary function of the longus capitis muscle is to flex the head and neck. It also assists in stabilizing the cervical spine.<br /> <br /> ==Blood Supply==<br /> The blood supply to the longus capitis muscle is provided by branches of the [[vertebral artery]] and the ascending cervical artery.<br /> <br /> ==Clinical Significance==<br /> Dysfunction or injury to the longus capitis muscle can result in neck pain and limited range of motion. It may also contribute to conditions such as [[cervical spondylosis]] and [[tension headaches]].<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Longus colli muscle]]<br /> * [[Cervical vertebrae]]<br /> * [[Neck muscles]]<br /> * [[Vertebral artery]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> {{Commons category|Longus capitis muscle}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Muscles of the head and neck]]<br /> [[Category:Anatomy]]<br /> [[Category:Musculoskeletal system]]<br /> <br /> {{Anatomy-stub}}</div>
