gross 1- back Flashcards
(43 cards)
3 muscle groups of the back
superficial
intermediate
deep
superficial back muscles
anchor upper limp to axial skeleton
intermediate back muscles
assists in respiration
deep back muscles
maintain posture, act on vertebral column (raise and lower spine)
extrinsic muscles
superficial and intermediate
intrinsic
deep
what are the superficial back muscles
trapezius
latissimus dorsi
levator scapulae
rhomboid major and minor
what are the intermediate back muscles
serratus posterior superior
serratus posterior inferior
what are the deep back muscles
semispinalis capitis
splenius capitis
spelnius cervicis
erector spinae
innervation of superficial and intermediate back muscles
ventral rami
innervation of deep back muscles
dorsal rami
clinical notes of dorsal rami
- deep back muscles receive innervations segmentally
- overlap- loss of 1 or 2 rami will not produce clinical symptoms
- nerves do NOT cross midline (ipsilateral)
origin of trapezius
- superior nuchal line
- nuchal ligament
- C7-T12 spinous process
insertion of trapezius
- lateral part of clavicle
- acromion and spine of scapula
action of trapezius
- elevates
- depresses
- retracts scapula
S of trapezius
- accessory nerve (Xll)
- transverse cervical vessels
accessory nerve path
runs deep to muscle, posterioinferiorly from jugular foramen.
ventral rami C3-C4 path
runs deep to muscle. posteriorly from intervertebral foramina
transverse cervical artery and vein
runs deep to muscle. posteriolaterally from thryocervical trunk
latissimus dorsi orgin
- T7-T12 spinous process
- thoracolumbar fascia
- crest of ilium
insertion of latissimus dorsi
intertuberculum sulcus of humerus
action of latissimus dorsi
adducts
extends
medially rotates humerus
s of latissimus dorsi
thoracodorsal nerve and vessels
intercoastal vessels
rhomboids orgin
C7-T5 spinous process
