This article explains the location and role of the ciliary ligament, English expressions, related organizations, trivia, etc.
The neck ligament is located at the back of the neck and has an important function of stabilizing the cervical spine, and is involved in preventing cervical spondylosis, etc., and movement in daily life. By learning knowledge about the neck ligament, you can deepen your understanding of the body and learn proper movements. Please use this article to deepen your understanding of the body.

What is the ankle ligament
The neck ligament is like a stiff muscle at the back of the neck and plays a role in stabilizing the cervical spine (neck bone). There are many ligaments in the human body, but in particular, the neck ligament, which is located in the neck, makes neck movements smoother and prevents wobble.
How to read the anterior ligament
The sacral ligament is read as “rough.”
Characteristics of the anterior ligament
The neck ligament is one of the three ligaments located behind the neck bone. Additionally, there are supraspinous ligaments and interspinous ligaments. These three ligaments connect bone to bone and stabilize neck movement.
Location and position of the anterior ligament
The neck ligament is located at the back of the neck, and if you look at the human anatomy diagram, it runs straight like a white streak. Among the 7 cervical vertebrae lined up, the protrusion at the back is an important structure of the neck ligament. The upper end is anchored to the external occipital protuberance of the skull, and the lower end is anchored to the spines of the 7th cervical vertebra.
How to remember the ankle ligament
When memorizing the shoulder ligament, try holding down the following points.
• The position is behind the neck
• A type of ligament that connects bone to bone
• It plays a role in stabilizing neck movement
English and Latin for anterior ligament
The English expression is “nuchal ligament,” and the Latin expression is “ligamentum nuchae.”
Trivia about the nuchal ligament
An interesting trivia is that humans and giraffes have the same 7 neck bones. Humans leave remnants of dinosaurs etc. on their bones, and the back of the cervical spine bone is shaped like a dorsal fin. This protrusion is involved in an important structure called the neck ligament.
Furthermore, the neck ligament plays a role similar to the ligaments in the elbow or knee, and acts as a stopper so that it does not bend too much when bending the neck. The neck is strongly protected by three ligaments, starting with the neck ligament, and they also play an important role in daily life.
Also, in addition to humans, neck ligaments also exist in lateral cervical animals such as horses and cows. Herbivores eat grass with their head facing the ground for a long time, so they have developed neck ligaments to maintain neck position. By developing neck ligaments, it is possible to stabilize muscles without wasting energy.
Tissues associated with the neck ligament: characteristics of the spine
The nuchal ligament (nuchal ligament) is located on the back of the neck and plays a role in reducing neck muscle fatigue by supporting the weight of the head. The neck ligament continues to the neck spine (mainly cervical vertebrae 1-7). These vertebrae have important muscles that support and support neck movements.
The spine, also called the spine or spine, is located between the skull and sacrum. It consists of 33 to 34 vertebrae and is divided into 5 parts. These are the cervical (neck), thoracic (thoracic), lumbar (lumbar), sacral (sacral), and coccyx (coccyx).
Each vertebra is connected via an elastic intervertebral disc, which provides overall spine flexibility and stability. Also, the vertebrae form a large tube that passes through the spinal cord, the so-called vertebral canal, without putting pressure on the nerve roots.
Tissues associated with the neck ligament: spine trivia
— Four-legged mammals can keep their face level thanks to their neck ligaments. Humans have well-developed neck muscles.
— Giraffes have 7 cervical vertebrae, just like humans, but each vertebra is very long.
— As we age, the cervical spine wears out, and the role of the neck ligament may become important.
— Vertebral deformities and chronic strain can cause cervical spondylosis.

A: Supraspinous Ligament and Interspinous Ligament
summary
This time, I explained the location and location of the “anterior ligament,” how to remember it, and the English and 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.
