The longissimus muscle is not separated and is expressed as one single muscle The tendon used by the longissimus cervicis muscle in the actual cadaver is not expressed | Longissimus cervicis and longissimus thoracis are expressed as two different muscles Explanations for these two spinalis muscles are also provided separately Compared to the actual cadaver, the tendon is expressed as very short Compared to the actual cadaver, longissimus cervicis, and longissimus thoracis are expressed as almost separate | Longissimus cervicis and longissimus thoracis are expressed as two different muscles Explanations for these two spinalis muscles are also provided separately Compared to the actual cadaver, the tendon is expressed as very short Compared to the actual cadaver, longissimus cervicis, and longissimus thoracis are expressed as almost separate | ||
