Adult Muscle
Long ventral neck muscle that attaches to a relatively lateral part of the sternal apodeme compared to other ventral muscles and medial to the VL1 muscle (Gorko et al., 2024). It attaches via a long tendon to the posterior head (Gorko et al., 2024). It is innervated by the CvN4 motor neuron (Gorko et al., 2024).
Based on lateral attachment to sternal apodeme and tendon connecting to posterior head, VL1 and VL2 probably correspond to muscle 27 in Miller (1950) - FBrf0186027.
