What is the innervation of the Spenius Capitis and Cervicis
Posterior Rami of Spinal Nerves
What is the muscle action of the Splenius Capitis/Cervicis?
laterally flexes the neck and rotates the
head to side of active muscles
extend the head and neck
What is the innervation of all intrinsic back muscles?
Posterior rami of spinal nerves
What is the Proximal origin of Splenius Capitis and Cervicis
Nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7–T6 vertebrae
What is the Distal attachment of Spenius Capitis and Cervicis
cervicus: tubercles of TP of C1–C3 or C4 vertebrae
capitis: mastoid process of
temporal bone and lateral third of superior nuchal line of occipital
bone.
What are these muscles top to bottom?
top: Splenius Capitis
bottom: Splenius Cervicis
In general, what do the ventral rami innervate?
Innervate ventral body
wall and all limb parts
In general, what do the dorsal rami innervate?
Innervate skin and
muscles of back
What is the muscle action of the erector spinae group?
Unilaterally -
Laterally flex the vertebral column to the same side
Bilaterally-
Extend the vertebral column
What is the proximal attachment of the Erector Spinae
Common tendon (thoracolumbar fascia) that attaches to the posterior sacrum, iliac crest, and SP of the lumbar and last two thoracic vertebrae
What is the distal attachment of the erector spinae?
Ilicostalis: lower rib angles and cervical TP
Longissimus: between rib tubercles and angles to thoracic TP
Spinalis: upper thoracic SP and to cranium.
