The Diaphragm

N/A

What are the 3 other parts to the Rectus Abdominis Muscle

* Tendinous intersections of the rectus abdominis Muscle * Sheath of the rectus abdominis Muscle * Linea alba

Rectus abdominis Muscle

O: Crest and symphysis of pubis I: xiphoid process of sternum and costal cartilages 5,6,7 A: Draw thorax downward (flex joints of vertebral column), compress abdomen

What 2 muscles form the Anterior layer of the sheath of the rectus abdominis Muscle

External abdominal oblique Muscle | Internal abdominal oblique Muscle

What 2 muscle form the posterior layer of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle

Transversus abdominis Muscle | Internal abdominal oblique Muscle

Inquinal Ligament

This is the inferior boarder to the aponeurosis of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. It courses from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle. It also serves at the point where the psoas major and iliacus muscle turn into the iliopsoas muscle

External abdominal oblique muscle

O: ribs 5-12 I: anterior lamina of the sheath of rectus abdominis muscle, anterior half of iliac crest, inguinal ligament A: Draw thorax downward (flex joints of vertebral column, compress abdomen), rotate vertebral column if contracted unilaterally

Internal abdominal oblique Muscle

O: anterior half of crest of ilium, lumbar fascia, iliac fascia, inguinal ligament I: Ribs 10-12, sheath of rectus abdominis Muscle A: Draw thorax downward (flex joints of the vertebral colum), compress abdomen, and rotate vertebral column

Transversus abdominis Muscle

O: Costal cartilages of ribs 7-12, lumbar fascia, iliac crest, inguinal ligament I: xiphoid process of sternum, posterior lamina of sheath of rectus abdominis muscle A: compress abdomen

Urogenital Diaphragm & Pelvic Diaphragm

N/A

Trapezius Muscle

O: Ocipital bone, Nuchal ligament, Spinous processes of C7 and Thoracic Vetebrae I: Clavicle, spine and acromion of scapula A: draw head laterally or posteriorly, Rotate scapula

Latissimus Dorsi Muscle

O: Spinous processes of lower 5 or 6 thoracic vertebrae, those of the lumbar vertebrae and median sacral crest I: with teres major muscle into the medial border of the intertubercular groove of the humerus A: adduct limb at shoulder joint, rotate limb medially at shoulder joint, extend shoulder joint

Rhomboideus Major Muscle

O: Spinous processes of thoracic vertebrae 2-5 I: medial border of scapula below level of its spine A: pull (retract) scapula toward vertebral column

Rhomboideus Minor Muscle

O: Spinous processes of C7 and T1 I: medial border of scapula at level of spine A: Pull scapula toward vertebral column and slightly superiorly

What 3 muscles make up the erector spinae muscles

Spinalis Muscle Longissimus Muscle Iliocostalis Muscle

Ther erector spinae Muscles

O: N/A I: **attachments** transverse processes of vertebrae, ribs, and ilium A: Extend joints of vertebral column, bend trunk laterally

An incision through the linea alba is called

Anterior Midline Incision

An incision made to one side of but parallel to the midline

Paramedian incision

a cut made parallel to the costal arch and cause more damage to the abdominal wall muscles than the midline or paramedian incisions

Paracostal (subcostal) incisions

When muscles lose their ability to contract due to disruption of their nerve supply

Paralysis

Partial paralysis is called

Paresis

Severe paralysis which results in loss of ability to move limbs is called

quadriplegia

If only the inferior limbs are involved in paralysis

Paraplegia

If the superior limb and inferior limbs on one side of the body are involved it is called

Hemiplegia.

Paraliyzed muscles undergo rapid _________ which markedly reduces the size of their bellies

Disuse atrophy
