General Information
Term	somatic muscle of neck	ID (Ontology)	FBbt:00058816 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition	Somatic muscle that contributes to movement of the head, via the neck (Gorko et al., 2024). Most neck muscle cells are contained in the thorax and control head movements either through long tendons that travel through the neck to attach to the head directly or indirectly by moving the cervical sclerite (Gorko et al., 2024). Most neck muscles are innervated by a single motor neuron (Gorko et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0186027 FlyBase:FBrf0259326 ]
Also Known As	"cervical muscle" ; "skeletal muscle of neck"
