Description:
Muscles Controlled by the Accessory Nerve. The accessory nerve innervates the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, both of which attach to the head and to the trunk and shoulders. They can act as antagonists in head flexion and extension, and as synergists in lateral flexion toward the shoulder. English labels. From OpenStax book 'Anatomy and Physiology', fig. 16.11.
