  • Description
    • * Arises from the dorsal ramus of the first cervical spinal nerve (C1).
    • * Emerges from the suboccipital triangle, which is bounded by the rectus capitis posterior major, obliquus capitis superior, and obliquus capitis inferior muscles.
    • * Supplies motor innervation to the suboccipital muscles (rectus capitis posterior major, rectus capitis posterior minor, obliquus capitis superior, and obliquus capitis inferior).
    • * Also provides sensory innervation to the skin overlying the suboccipital triangle.
