	Abdominal external oblique muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The external oblique muscle (of the abdomen) (also external abdominal oblique muscle) is the largest and the most superficial of the three flat muscles of the lateral anterior abdomen.
		The five superior serrations increase in size from above downward, and are received between corresponding processes of the serratus anterior muscle; the three lower ones diminish in size from above downward and receive between them corresponding processes from the latissimus dorsi.
		The external oblique muscle is innervated by the lower intercostal nerves.

	biology - Occipital bone
		From this protuberance the upper division of the cruciate eminence runs to the superior angle of the bone, and on one side of it (generally the right) is a deep groove, the sagittal sulcus, which lodges the hinder part of the superior sagittal sinus; to the margins of this sulcus the falx cerebri is attached.
		The superior angle of the occipital bone articulates with the occipital angles of the parietal bones and, in the fetal skull, corresponds in position with the posterior fontanelle.
		The superior borders extend from the superior to the lateral angles: they are deeply serrated for articulation with the occipital borders of the parietals, and form by this union the lambdoidal suture.

		The Rectus capitis posterior major (Rectus capitis posticus major) arises by a pointed tendon from the spinous process of the axis, and, becoming broader as it ascends, is inserted into the lateral part of the inferior nuchal line of the occipital bone and the surface of the bone immediately below the line.
		The Rectus capitis posterior minor (Rectus capitis posticus minor) arises by a narrow pointed tendon from the tubercle on the posterior arch of the atlas, and, widening as it ascends, is inserted into the medial part of the inferior nuchal line of the occipital bone and the surface between it and the foramen magnum.
		The Obliquus capitis inferior (Obliquus inferior), the larger of the two Oblique muscles, arises from the apex of the spinous process of the axis, and passes lateralward and slightly upward, to be inserted into the lower and back part of the transverse process of the atlas.

		The textbook description of this muscle is that it arises from the spine of the axis, and its fibers pass upward and laterally, to insert onto the lateral half of the inferior nuchal line.
		Atlantomastoid is a small muscle, often present, arising from the transverse process of the atlas, between the superior oblique and lateral rectus, and inserting into the posterior part of the mastoid process.
		According to Mori, the muscle is best seen when splenius capitis is removed and the medial part of longissimus capitis is examined.The muscle is separated fron obliquus capitis inferior by the occipital artery; occasionaly the occipital artery separates atlantomastoid from longissimus capitis.

		Listing Involvement: The obliquus capitis superior is in a synergistic complex with the first branch of the levatores (of the opposite side) when working for Atlas correction.
		It is palpated as a small consolidation of muscle mass when working and can demonstrate a fleshy resistent consistency only notable when simultaneously compared to the opposing obliquus capitis superior.

		In the space between the trapezius muscle and the sternocleidomastoid, pass the index or Chiropractic index finger over the speculated area, perpendicular to the direction in which the fibers are running.
		It should not be confused with the superior, medial margins of the longisimus capitis, which is inferior to or overlying the obliquus capitis inferior, and is significantly more pronounced than the obliquus capitis inferior.

	eMedicine - Cervical Spine Sprain/Strain Injuries : Article Excerpt by Gerard A Malanga
		Cervical muscles that commonly are strained include the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), the trapezius, the rhomboids, the erector spinae, the scalenes, and the levator scapulae.
		The role of the muscles is to stabilize the spine, carry loads, and produce motion.
		Since the bulk of flexor muscle groups are at the C4-C5 level and the main mass of the extensor muscle groups overlies the C6-T1 levels as well as the atlantoaxial area, these muscle groups are likely sites of major stress.

		In the anatomy of mammals, the diaphragm is a shelf of muscle extending across the bottom of the ribcage.
		It is critically important in respiration: in order to draw air into the lungs, the diaphragm contracts, thus enlarging the thoracic cavity and reducing intra-thoracic pressure.
		(The muscles between the ribs also participate in this enlargement.) When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled by elastic recoil of the lung and the tissues lining the thoracic cavity.
