Illustrated Anatomy of the Head and Neck

The muscle anatomy of the head and neck is a fascinating area, with the the neck also containing the 7 vertebrae of the part of the spine called the cervical curve. Superficial dissections of the head and neck as seen in the gallery, show the many different muscles that are required for movement plus those that control facial expression.
