Can you name this muscle and its action and attachments ? If you know you can answere this question you must then ask another muscle question = A with a Q
Keep the A+Q chain running ! get that brain working, clues can be action, origin or insertion orientated.

    Do you mean the pes anserine group? (sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosus). The wording of the question got me for a while...

    another question: What is the primary plane of action of the rectus capitis posterior minor?

    next question: identify the three muscles that share a common distal attachment with proximal attachments that include the ischial tuberosity, the pubis, and the ASIS? bonus question: what is the name of the distal attachment structure?

    wow... this discussion cooled off, eh?

    Old Question: What is the primary plane of action of the rectus capitis posterior minor?

    Answer: the primary plane of action of the suboccipital muscle (a muscle group considered to be more of a sensory organ, or stabilizer, rather than mover) rectus capitis posterior minor would be saggital (i.e., extension of the head at the atlanto-occipital joint).

    New Question: What muscle is the primary mover of the head on the trunk?
