Muscle Capitis Rectus Ventral

The rectus capitis ventralis muscle is one of the muscles located on the front surface of the neck. It is responsible for moving the head forward and backward and also provides stability to the neck.

The muscle consists of two parts: lateral and medial. The lateral part starts from the lateral surface of the skull and extends down to the lateral surface of the sternum. The medial part starts from the upper part of the lateral surface of the chest and extends upward to the lateral surface of the skull. The two parts meet at the center of the neck, where they form a tendon that attaches to the hyoid bone.

The job of the rectus ventralis capitis muscle is that it helps keep the head upright and prevents it from moving to the side. In addition, it is involved in the process of swallowing and chewing.

With neck injuries or muscle diseases such as myasthenia gravis, this muscle can become weak or even completely paralyzed. In this case, neck dysfunction may occur, which can lead to problems with swallowing and chewing.

Physical therapy or surgery may be required to treat these problems. However, in most cases, problems can be managed using conservative methods such as massage, stretching exercises and muscle strengthening.

Thus, the rectus ventralis capitis muscle plays an important role in maintaining neck stability and normal swallowing and chewing function. Therefore, if you have problems with this muscle, you should not postpone treatment until later, but rather consult a specialist to get the necessary help.

The neck muscles are divided into superficial and deep. The superficial (neck) muscles are divided into anterior, middle and posterior. Of the deep muscles, the most important is the anterior scalene muscle, which plays an important role in maintaining the spinal column in the correct position during movement and turning of the head. The anterior neck muscles perform the following functions: they support the head in the correct position relative to the body due to the structure of its muscle layer, to which the tendon shield connecting the intervertebral discs of the neck is attached.
