The splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis, have distinct insertions. The splenius capitis inserts on the mastoid process of the temporal bone and the lateral third of the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone. The splenius cervicis inserts on the transverse processes of the upper cervical vertebrae, specifically C1 to C3 or C4. These muscles primarily function to extend, rotate, and laterally flex the neck.
