Muscular Specialities and Faulty Actions
of the Muscles of Area VIII
– Small Nuchal Muscles –
|
The musculature of Area VIII forms the connection between spine and head. As for the musculature which is responsible for the upright posture we know the comparison of the "rope-ladder"(see. S. 37). Another picturesque comparison would be the human pyramid. If the upmost artist conducts a sportive figure the carrier at the base has to react immediately to keep all centric points aligned. When we see our head "ball" as the final member on top a pyramid of stacked upon another vertebra standing on two sticks and underneath rectangular to these to quite short fundament boards as a support. When, now, something is moved at the ball the angle boards to sticks immediately has to be adapted to avoid the tumbling of the whole scaffold. So, if we are chewing standing upright the tension of the big toes has to be varied constantly. (Therefore it seem to have made sense when our parents asked us to sit down during the meals.) If all comparisons might limp the core of the observations, the mere biomechanics stay true. The drawing on the right correlates to the exercise BASIC-POSITION, see description there. We know about the correlations of our orofacial functions with the oral diaphragm, supra- and subhyoid musculature. Actions within the frontal cervical musculature doubtlessly lead to reactions of the dorsal neck muscles, the connection of the head and Spina dorsalis. The muscles are not only necessary to keep the balance. A physiological posture of the head is also important for the orderly route of the pathways from head to body as Pharynx, lymphatic channels, blood vessels and surely also the distorted nerve tracts.
