The muscles of the prevertebral group are the muscles located anterior to the cervical vertebrae and include the longus colli, longus capitis, rectus capitis anterior, and rectus capitis lateralis. The anterior, middle, and posterior scalene muscles are not part of the prevertebral group, but rather the scalene muscles of the neck. The rectus capitis posterior major, rectus capitis posterior minor, obliquus capitis inferior, and obliquus capitis superior are muscles located posterior to the cervical vertebrae and are not part of the prevertebral group.
