Where does the splenius cervicis originate and insert?

Splenius capitis muscle

Origin	Spinous processes of vertebrae C7-T3, nuchal ligament
Insertion	Lateral superior nuchal line of occipital bone, mastoid process of temporal bone
Action	Bilateral contraction: Extends head/neck Unilateral contraction: Lateral flexion and rotation of head (ipsilateral)

Is Colliis and cervicis same?

The longus colli muscle (‘long muscle of the neck’) is also known as longus cervicis since it spans the entire cervical spine and the first three thoracic vertebrae.

What does cervical mean in medical terms?

Cervicalgia: Neck pain.

Cervicobrachial: Pertaining to the area where the neck leads to the arm

What is the normal length of the cervix?

The average cervix length is 4 to 5 cm, and it is expected to shorten as you get further along into your pregnancy. One study found that at 24 weeks gestation, the average cervix length is 3.5 cm. When cervical length is less than 2.2 cm, women face a 20 percent probability of preterm delivery. Can I reach my cervix with my finger?

What causes enlarged cervix?

menstrual cycle abnormalities,such as heavy bleeding and cramping

a mass over the lower abdomen

anemia due to excessive menstrual bleeding

general weakness and paleness

weight gain at the waistline,from the uterine overgrowth

pressure symptoms on the uterus and surrounding structures

cramping in the pelvic area

constipation

What is the definition of cervical?

The spinal cord travels inside the vertebral column constructed from the front by vertebrae, cushioned by the intervertebral discs, and from the back by the facet joints and lamina. In the cervical spine, eight nerve roots branch out that primarily control the function of your shoulders, arms and hands.
