The '''longus capitis''' (rectus capitis anticus major), broad and thick above, narrow below, arises by four tendinous slips, from the anterior tubercles of the [[transverse processes]] of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth [[cervical vertebræ]], and ascends, converging toward its fellow of the opposite side, to be inserted into the inferior surface of the [[basilar]] part of the [[occipital bone]].
