Trunk, Diaphragmatic, Perineal
and Coccygeal Musculature
4.1 Trunk and Back Musculature
Obliquus capitis inferior (adult Kidogo 2.61 g;
Fig. 4.5)
– Attachments in bonobos: From spinous pro-
cesses of C2 to transverse process of C1
(Miller’s 1952 adult bonobo and our adult
Kidogo).
– Usual innervation: Branch of the dorsal ramus
of the first cervical nerve (Miller 1952:
P. paniscus).
– Comparison with common chimpanzees:
Similar to bonobos.
Obliquus capitis superior (adult Kidogo 1.18 g;
Fig. 4.5)
– Attachments in bonobos: From transverse
process of C1 to occipital bone (Miller’s 1952
adult bonobo and our adult Kidogo).
– Usual innervation: Branch of the dorsal ramus
of the first cervical nerve (Miller 1952:
P. paniscus).
– Comparison with common chimpanzees:
Similar to bonobos.
Rectus capitis anterior (adult Kidogo 0.42 g)
– Attachments in bonobos: Mainly from C1 to
basiocciput (our adult Kidogo).
– Usual innervation: Data are not available.
– Comparison with common chimpanzees:
In P. troglodytes rectus capitis anterior major runs
from C3 to C6 to the basiocciput, receiving a slip
from the scalenus anterior, while the rectus capi-
tis anterior minor runs from the anteroventral sur-
face of the lateral mass of C1 to the basiocciput,
ventral to the foramen magnum and occipital
condyle, and dorsolateral to the insertion of the
longus capitis (Sonntag 1923, 1924; Dean 1985).
Rectus capitis lateralis (adult Kidogo 0.75 g)
– Attachments in bonobos: From transverse
process of C1 to jugular process of occipital
bone (our adult Kidogo).
– Usual innervation: Data are not available.
– Comparison with common chimpanzees:
Similar to bonobos.
Rectus capitis posterior major (adult Kidogo
3.27 g; Fig. 4.5)
– Attachments in bonobos: From spinous pro-
cess of C2 to occipital bone, between inferior
nuchal line and foramen magnum, lateral to
insertion of rectus capitis posterior minor (our
adult Kidogo and Miller’s 1952 adult bonobo).
– Usual innervation: Branches of the dorsal
ramus of the first cervical nerve (Miller 1952:
P. paniscus).
