The rectus capitis anterior (rectus capitis anticus minor) is a deep back muscle that helps flex the head. It originates from the transverse process of the atlas and inserts in the occipital bone near the foramen magnum. It is innervated by the first and second cervical nerves and is supplied by the muscular branches of the aorta. Research Rectus Capitis Anterior
