Q

What is a common pathology of the anterior neck muscles

Study These Flashcards
A

They are often damaged in motor vehicle accidents

25
What is the origin of the scalenes
TVP's
26
What is the insertion of the scalenes
Anterior and middle insert on the first rib, Lateral on the second rib
27
What is the action of the scalenes
Laterally flex the neck, raise the ribs
28
What is the innervation of the scalenes
Lower cervical nerves
29
What is the origin and insertion of the SCM
O: Manubrium, clavical I: mastoid process
30
What is the action of the SCM
Ipsilateral: flex head Contralateral: Rotate head unilaterally and flex head bilaterally
31
What is torticollis
Spasm of the SCM. It's treated with physical medicine, and if all else fails, it is surgically severed
32
What is the action of the external intercostals
aid in inspiration by lifting ribs
33
What is the action of the internal intercostals
Fix ribs in place, help with precise contractions for singing or speaking
34
What is the attachment of the intercostals
Both attach from the inferior border of a rib to the superior border of the rib below it
35
What is the innervation of the intercostals
Ventral rami of Nerves T1-T12 leave the intervertebral foramina and travel along the costal grooves
36
What happens if abdominal muscles are slow to engage
The lumbar muscles end up getting overworked, and this can cause chronic low back pain
37
What supports the lumbar spine
The coordinate action of transversus abdominis and multifidus
38
What are the attachments of the rectus abdominis
Superior: xiophoid process and cartilage of ribs 5-7 Inferior: pubic crest and pubic symphysis
39
What is the innervation of the rectus and transversus abdominus, and the externa and internal obliques
Lower 6 intercostal nerves, the internal obliques are also innervated by ventral rami of L1
40
What is the action of the rectus abdominis
Compresses abdominal content and flexes vertebral column
41
What are the attachments of the external obliques
Superior: Ribs 5-12 Inferior: Anterior portion of iliac crest anterior: abdominal aponeurosis and linea alba
42
What is the action of the external obliques
compress abdominal wall, flex vertebral column. Unilaterally, they ipsilaterally flex and contralaterally rotate vertebral column
43
What are the attachments of the internal obliques
Superior: Cartilage of lower 3 ribs Inferior: Iliac crest and inguinal ligamnet Anterior: abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba posterior: thoracolumbar fascia
44
What is the action of the internal obliques
Compress abdominal contents and flex vertebral column. Unilaterally, it ipsilaterally flexes and contra laterally rotates the vertebral column
45
What are the attachments of the transverse abdominis
Superior: Cartilage of lower 6 ribs Inferior: iliac crest and inguinal ligament Anterior: Abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba Posterior: thoracolumbar fascia
46
What is the action of the transverse abdomens
Compress abdominal contents
47
What are the attachments of the quadratus lumborum
Superior: 12th rib and TVP L1-5 Inferior: iliac crest and iliolumbar ligament
48
What is the innervation of the quadratus lumborum
T12 and L1-4 spinal nerves
49
What is the action of the quadratus lumborum
Unilaterally: Laterally flex lumbar spine and elevate hip Bilaterally: extend vertebral column and fix 12th rib during respiration
50
What are the attachments of the iliopsoas
Superior: TVP's and vertebral bodies of L1-5 (psoas major) and iliac fossa (iliacus) Inferior: lessor trochanter of femur
51
What is the action of the iliopsoas
Flex the hips or lumbar spine
52
What is the innervation of the iliopsoas
L1,2 and femoral nerve
53
What nerves pass under and through the psoas
Tons. Femoral, genitofemoral, and lateral femoral cutaneous.
54
What are the attachments of the thoracic diaphragm
Muscle fibers radiate from a central tendon to attach peripherally to the inner surface of lower 6 ribs, upper 3 lumbar vertebrae and the xiphoid process
55
What is the action of the thoracic diaphragm
Contractions flatten to compress the abdominal contents and increase the volume of the thorax
56
What are the 2 main functions of the diaphragm
Contractions increase the volume of thorax to decrease the pressure. This draws air into the lungs and assists with lymphatic venous return
57
What are 4 of the pelvic floor muscles
Coccygeus, Levator ani which consists of pubococcgeus, puborectalis, and iliococcygeus
58
What is the function of the pelvic floor muscles
Support pelvic viscera and provide sphincter-like action to the urethral, vaginal, and anal canals
