Synonym: musculus longitudinalis superior, superficial lingual muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obliquus capitis superior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, transverse process of atlas; insertion, lateral third of inferior nuchal line; action, rotates head; nerve supply, suboccipital. See: suboccipital muscles. Synonym: musculus obliquus capitis superior, superior oblique muscle of head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obliquus superior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, above the medial margin of the optic canal; insertion, by a tendon passing through the trochlea, or pulley, and then reflected backward, downward, and laterally to the sclera between the superior and lateral recti; action, primary, intorsion; secondary, depression and abduction; nerve supply, trochlear nerve.

| posterior superior iliac spine | The posterior extremity of the iliac crest, the uppermost point of attachment of the sacrotuberous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments; a readily apparent dimple occurs in the skin overlying the posterior superior iliac spine which is clinically useful as an indication of the level of the S-2 vertebra, the level of the inferior limit of the subarachnoid space. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
