The levator scapulas 40* is situated superiorly or atlantad to the rhomboideus t, t, occupies the lateral aspect of the neck, and divides in a manner the anterior or sternal, from the posterior or dorsal muscles. This muscle derives its origin from the transverse processes of the four or five superior or atlantal cervical vertebrae, and descends obliquely in fleshy bundles, to be inserted into the superior portion r, of the base of the scapula, that is not occupied by the rhomboideus muscle. The origins of this muscle are partly fleshy and partly tendinous, in- termingling with the tendons of the splenius colli, y?, on the one side, and those of the scalenus posticus 50 on the other, as delineated in Plate VI. An anterior or sternal view of these muscles is given in Part II., Plate VII. The insertion of the muscle is very fleshy, and extends from the superior posterior angle, to the angular projec- tion, a little above the root of the spine of the scapula. The insertion is also seen in Plate VI. For a more minute insertion of this muscle, consult description of scapula in Part I. The name of this muscle indicates its chief function; but when the scapula is fixed, it will inflect the neck and head laterad.
