help needed finding a webpage with an image

ImageSearchFilter: I'm looking for a webpage with an image I should have bookmarked. Please help me find it!

While researching a medical problem I came across a webpage with an illustration of the neck muscles responsible for bending the head forward (I think the motion is defined as neck flexion). The picture showed the side view of a person, shoulders up, bending his head forward. It was an outline of a person where you could see the muscles and bones. The muscles participating in the motion were named. Something that might help with the search: the same site had an equivalent page for neck extension (taking the head back).

I forgot to bookmark the page and really I need it. I have searched and searched and I can't seem to find it again. Can anyone help me out?

According to Gray's anatomy some of the major muscles in the neck are:

1. Sternomastoid
2. Trapezius
3. Rectus capitus (major, minor and lateralis)
4. Longis colli muscle
5. Salenus anticus muscle
6. Scalenus medius
7. Scalenus posticus

maybe that will help with your search.

I've already tried using the muscle names to search and the page didn't turn up. I guess they were part of the image.

Have you tried searching directly in Google Images?

Neck Muscles

Neck Flexion

Neck extension

You may think of other search terms.

seems obvious but have you checked your browser's cache/history?

too late for that (if only i had bookmarked or downloaded it!). it's something i came across a few months ago and have been looking for every since. though thanks for the suggestion.

any medical student here that the page sounds familier to?

A bunch of labeled groups, including the neck (another neck).

You tryin' to build a robot? Oh, and here's a really cool biometrics study on the human body done by NASA (average movements for different parts) used to design their cockpits and space suits. Don't think it'll be much help, but it's neato.
