Intertransversarii muscle

The intertransversarii are small muscles placed between the transverse processes of the vertebrae.

==Structure== ===Cervical=== In the cervical region they are best developed, consisting of rounded muscular and tendinous fasciculi, and are placed in pairs, passing between the anterior and the posterior tubercles respectively of the transverse processes of two contiguous vertebrae, and separated from one another by an anterior primary division of the cervical nerve, which lies in the groove between them. The muscles connecting the anterior tubercles are termed the anterior intertransversarii. Those between the posterior tubercles are termed the posterior intertransversarii.
