Neck muscles and nerves, artwork
Neck and upper back muscles (pink) and nerves (yellow), computer artwork. The large opaque muscle covering most of the upper back is the trapezius. Attached to the spine at bottom right are the spinalis muscles. The muscle on the side of the skull is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which acts to flex and rotate the neck

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate network of neck muscles and nerves in stunning detail. The vibrant pink hues represent the neck and upper back muscles, while the striking yellow tones depict the complex web of nerves that run through this region. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the large opaque muscle known as the trapezius, which covers most of the upper back. Attached to it are the spinalis muscles, providing stability and support to the spine. Moving upwards towards the skull, we encounter a prominent muscle called sternocleidomastoid. This powerful muscle not only flexes but also rotates the neck. The image offers a glimpse into our body's remarkable musculoskeletal system and its connection with our nervous system. It highlights key anatomical structures such as cervical vertebrae, vertebral column, and posterior musculature. With great precision and artistry, this print reveals how various nerves like greater occipital nerve, lesser occipital nerve, small occipital nerve innervate different regions of our neck. It also showcases other important muscles like scalene muscles, suboccipital muscles, levator scapulae muscle along with rhomboid major and minor. Overall, this artwork serves as a visual testament to human anatomy - an awe-inspiring reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are at every level.
