Chapter VI: Muscles on the Ventral Side of the Vertebral Column in the Neck

REGION (Fig. 72).

Clean the surface of these muscles, removing pharynx, larynx, œsophagus, and trachea, if this has not been done.

1. Longus capitis (p. 142, and Fig. 72, _a_).

2. Longus colli (p. 144, and Fig. 72, _g′_, _g″_).

3. Levator scapulæ ventralis (p. 120, and Fig. 72, _c′_, _c″_). Observe its origin.

4. Rectus capitis anterior minor (p. 143, and Fig. 72, _b_). To see this, cut through on one side the longus capitis and one head of the levator scapulæ ventralis, and remove the proximal portions, as in Fig. 72.

5. Obliquus capitis superior (p. 136, and Fig. 72, _e_).

6. Rectus capitis lateralis (p. 143, and Fig. 72, _d_).
