Elevate scapula

31. Name the condition that is the anterior positioning of the cervical spine. It is a posture problem that is caused by several factors including sleeping with the head elevated too high, extended use of computers, lack of developed back muscle strength and lack of nutrients such as calcium. This posture is sometimes called "Scholar's Neck", "Wearsie Neck", or "Reading Neck." Possible negative effects include tingling and numbness in the arms, and a burning pain between the shoulder blades. Individuals who display this posture are often associated with geek culture due to the awkward appearance that is caused when moving. Treatment involves stretching the muscles in the front of the neck and torso such as the anterior scalenes, middle scalenes, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor while also strength training muscles in the back of the neck and torso such as the erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, rhomboids and posterior deltoids. Posture retraining is imperative.

50. Passive rotation of the head and neck to the opposite side would _______ the splenius capitis.

Lengthen

25. What two muscles attach from the anterior surface of the cervical vertebrae to the occiput and atlas?

Longus capitis and longus colli

36. This type of bone deformity (_____________) is also known as cervical kyphosis. The normal neck curvature is forward bending. The head bends forward. But in this condition the neck is not curved forward. It could either be straight or bent backwards.

Submandibular fossa

04. Which bony landmark of the occiput serves as an attachment site for several neck muscles?

33. ________________ is a chronic condition in which the neck muscles contract involuntarily. This causes the head to turn and tilt to one side, and the chin to point to the opposite side. Sometimes one shoulder is lifted. The muscle contraction may be constant (fixed) or may come and go (intermittent). The abnormal posture caused by tilting the head may lead to neck pain. Torticollis may be present at birth (congenital) or develop later in life(acquired). Torticollis, also known as wry neck or loxia, is a symptom defined by an abnormal, asymmetrical head or neck position.
