The rectus capitis anterior muscle ( lat. For "anterior straight head muscle") - referred to in animal anatomy as the rectus capitis ventralis muscle ( lat. For "abdominal straight head muscle") - is a small, short and flat skeletal muscle in the area of the deep neck and lies in front of the first head joint , dorsolateral to the longus capitis muscle . It runs from the transverse process of the atlas to the pars basilaris of the occiput . When acting on both sides, he bends his head. It also supports the fine adjustment of the head and the sideways tilt. The blood supply takes place via the arteria vertebralis and the arteria pharyngea ascendens .
