- Rectus posterior minor capitis muscleMusculus rectus posterior minor capitisRectus capitis posterior minor is a small suboccipital muscle running from the back of the atlas to the occipital bone near the midline.
- RotatoresThe rotatores are the deepest small back muscles, each running from a transverse process to the lamina of the vertebra just above.
- Scalenus anterior muscleMusculus scalenus anteriorScalenus anterior is a deep neck muscle running from the transverse processes of C3 to C6 down to the scalene tubercle of the first rib.
- Scalenus medius muscleMusculus scalenus mediusScalenus medius is the biggest and longest scalene muscle, running down the side of the neck from the cervical vertebrae to the first rib.
- Scalenus posterior muscleMusculus scalenus posteriorScalenus posterior, the least and deepest of the scalene muscles, runs from the lower cervical vertebrae to the second rib.
- Semispinalis colli muscleMusculus semispinalis colliSemispinalis colli is a deep back muscle of the neck that runs from upper thoracic transverse processes to cervical spinous processes.
- Spinalis capitis muscleMusculus spinalis capitisSpinalis capitis is a thin, often indistinct strand of the erector spinae that reaches the skull from the upper thoracic and lower cervical spines.
- Spinalis colli muscleMusculus spinalis colliSpinalis colli is an inconstant deep neck muscle running from the lower nuchal ligament and upper spines to the spine of C2.
- Splenius capitis muscleMusculus splenius capitisSplenius capitis is a broad strap muscle at the back of the neck that runs from the upper spines to the mastoid and occiput.
- Splenius colli muscleMusculus splenius colliSplenius colli is a strap muscle of the upper back and neck, running from mid-thoracic spines to the upper cervical transverse processes.
- Sternocleidomastoid muscleMusculus sternocleidomastoideusSternocleidomastoid is the prominent strap muscle running diagonally up the side of the neck from the sternum and clavicle to behind the ear.
- Sternohyoid muscleMusculus sternohyoideusSternohyoid is a thin infrahyoid strap muscle in the front of the neck, running from the back of the manubrium to the hyoid bone.
- Sternothyroid muscleMusculus sternothyreoideusSternothyroid is a broad infrahyoid strap muscle that runs from the back of the manubrium to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx.
- Straight part of cricothyroid musclePars recta musculi cricothyreoideiThe straight part of cricothyroid is the front, near-vertical portion of the cricothyroid muscle, linking the cricoid arch to the thyroid cartilage.
- Stylohyoid muscleMusculus stylohyoideusStylohyoid is a slender suprahyoid muscle running from the styloid process of the skull down to the hyoid bone.
- Stylopharyngeus muscleMusculus stylopharyngeusStylopharyngeus is a long, narrow muscle passing from the styloid process into the wall of the pharynx, where it lifts the throat.
- Thyro-epiglottic part of thyro-arytenoid musclePars thyreoepiglottica musculi thyreoarytenoideiThe thyro-epiglottic part is a thin slip of the thyro-arytenoid muscle that runs from the inside of the thyroid cartilage to the epiglottis.
- Thyrohyoid muscleMusculus thyreohyoideusThyrohyoid is a small, four-sided infrahyoid muscle that joins the thyroid cartilage of the larynx to the greater horn of the hyoid.
- Transverse arytenoid muscleMusculus arytenoideus transversusThe transverse arytenoid is an unpaired muscle at the back of the larynx that bridges the two arytenoid cartilages and draws them together.
