In this article, I will explain the “cephaliform muscle” in detail.
The cephaliform muscle is one of the muscles located at the back of the neck and contributes to the movement of tilting and turning the head backwards. In this article, we'll examine its structure, function, importance, and several related health issues. We will also explore ways to maintain the health of the plate-like head muscle and treatments that are useful when it's not working. It also touches on muscle function and relationships with other parts of the body, and aims for a comprehensive understanding. Please use this article to deepen your understanding of the body.

What is the cephaliform muscle
The cephaliform muscle is one of the muscles located at the back of our neck. Its main role is to tilt and rotate the head back. You may not be aware of it in everyday life, but this muscle plays an important role in maintaining posture and neck movement.
How to read cephaloplegic muscle
The cephaloid muscle is read as “toban joukin.” Knowing how to read Japanese is the first step in deepening your understanding of medicine and anatomy, so be sure to learn it.
Characteristics of the plate-like cephaloid muscle
The cephaliform muscle is located at the back of the neck and works with nearby muscles to participate in neck rotation and extension. Although these muscles are not stretched, their movement has a significant impact on neck movement.
Location and position of the cephaloploid muscle
The cephaliform muscle is located from the back of the neck to the bottom of the head. Specifically, it does not extend from the back of the neck to the back of the head, but it functions together with other neck muscles to support that movement.
How to remember the cephaloplocele muscle
It's good to remember it as “a muscle that exists from the back of the neck to the bottom of the head and rotates the head.” This simple image will help you understand it. Additionally, it would be useful to keep in mind the point of “assisting neck movement.”
English/Latin for cephaloid muscle
The correct English and Latin name for head plate-like muscle is “Splenius Capitis muscle.” This muscle is located at the back of the neck and plays a role in helping the neck and head move.
Trivia of the craniformis muscle
It is extremely unlikely that the head plate muscle itself will directly cause a headache due to hat compression. However, the back of the head and neck muscles become tense due to stress or poor posture, etc., and this may appear as a headache. Consciously relaxing this muscle may help relieve tension headaches.
Tissues associated with the plate-like muscle of the head: features of the skull
The cranioid muscle (plate-like muscle) is a muscle located on the back side from the neck to the head, and plays an important role in head movement and posture maintenance. Let's take a closer look at the part of the skull where this muscle is attached. The skull is one of the most complex and important parts of the human body's skeletal structure. It protects the head and plays a role in storing the brain. It consists of approximately 22 bones, and there is fibrous connective tissue called sutures (sutures) in the indirect part.
The skull can be broadly divided into the following parts.
parietal bone (parietal bone), temporal bone (bone), occipital bone (back and back)
These bones are attached to and near the plate-like cephalic muscle and support neck and head movements. For example, the cephaloid muscle attaches to the mastoid process (mastoid) of the temporal bone and the outer end of the occipital bone. The fact that these bones have a firm structure is a factor that supports the function of the head plate-like muscle.
Tissues associated with the plate-like muscle of the head: location and position of the skull
The cephaliform muscle is a muscle that runs at the back of the head and neck, and the positional relationship between the skull, which is its attachment site, is very important. Specifically, it is related to the following bones and positions.
The temporal bone is located on the side of the skull and is characterized by mastoid processes. The head plate-like muscle attaches to this area and supports movements that pull the head backwards. Meanwhile, the occipital bone is located at the back of the skull, and there is a muscle attachment called the suprandial line. The head plate-like muscle also attaches to this superior line and plays a role in stabilizing the back of the head.
By understanding positional relationships, you can clearly understand how the cephaloid muscle acts on the skull and how it supports head and neck movements. In particular, it is essential that these attachment sites have a firm structure to fully exert the function of the head plate-like muscle.
Tissues associated with the plate-like muscle of the head: skull trivia
The skull has some interesting knowledge related to the plate-like cephalic muscle. Here are a few trivia facts.
Sutures are lines that connect parts of the skull, but they gradually solidify as they grow. Therefore, observing the state of individual sutures may be a clue to know the person's age and growth stage.
The skull is more than just a hard bone, it also has a certain degree of flexibility. This is because it effectively absorbs impact on the head and protects the brain.
The temporal bone contains the structure of the ear and is also responsible for hearing. Also, since the head plate-like muscle is attached to the mastoid process of the temporal bone, it also plays a role in linking the neck and head.
By having this knowledge, you can better understand the role of the skull and its importance. When considering the relationship with the head plate-like muscle, it is useful to grasp not only its attachment site and function, but also its overall structure and characteristics.
Plateformis cephaloides quiz and correct answers
Q1. Where is the cephaliform muscle located?
Correct answer: It is a muscle located in the neck and upper back.
Q2. What is the primary role of the cephaliform muscle?
Correct answer: It has the role of tilting the head back and rotating the neck left and right.
summary
This time, I explained the location and location of the “cephaloid muscle”, how to memorize it, and the English/Latin notation.
How was it?
I would be happy if reading this article deepened my understanding of anatomy.
Learning is a long, never-ending journey, but I sincerely wish you all the best. Let's continue to study together and work hard for the national exam!
Please look forward to the next blog.
