The spinalis is the portion of the erector spinae, a bundle of muscles and tendons, located nearest to the spine. It is divided into three parts.

pinalis dorsi

The Spinalis dorsi, the medial continuation of the Sacrospinalis, is scarcely separable as a distinct muscle.

It is situated at the medial side of the Longissimus dorsi, and is intimately blended with it; it arises by three or four tendons from the spinous processes of the first two lumbar and the last two thoracic vertebrae: these, uniting, form a small muscle which is inserted by separate tendons into the spinous processes of the upper thoracic vertebræ, the number varying from four to eight.

It is intimately united with the Semispinalis dorsi, situated beneath it.

pinalis cervicis

The Spinalis cervicis (Spinalis colli) is an inconstant muscle, which arises from the lower part of the ligamentum nuchæ, the spinous process of the seventh cervical, and sometimes from the spinous processes of the first and second thoracic vertebræ, and is inserted into the spinosus process of the axis, and occasionally into the spinous processes of the two vertebræ below it.

pinalis capitis

The Spinalis capitis (Biventer cervicis) is usually inseparably connected with the Semispinalis capitis.
