Vertebral Column Flexor Muscles:

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Rectus Abdominis
  • External Oblique
  • Internal Oblique
  • Psoas Major (With origin fixed)
  • Iliacus (with origin fixed)
20
Q

Origin of rectus abdominis:

Study These Flashcards
A

Pubic crest, pubic symphysis

21
Q

Insertion of rectus abdominis:

Study These Flashcards
A

Cartilage of 5th-7th ribs and xiphoid process

22
Q

Action of the rectus abdominis:

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Flex the vertebral column

* Tilt pelvis posteriorly

23
Q

Origin of the external oblique:

Study These Flashcards
A

External surfaces of 5th -12th ribs

24
Q

Insertion of the external oblique:

Study These Flashcards
A

Anterior part of the iliac crest, abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba

25
Action of the external oblique:
- Bilaterally: • Flex the vertebral column • Compress abdominal contents -Unilaterally • Laterally flex vertebral column to same side • Rotate vertebral column to the opposite side
26
Aponeurosis is deep to the:
Rectus abdominis
27
Origin of the internal oblique abdominals:
Lateral inguinal ligament, iliac crest and thoracolumbar fascia
28
Insertion of the internal oblique abdominals:
Internal surface of lower three ribs, abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
29
Action of the internal oblique abdominals:
- Bilaterally: • Flex the vertebral column • Compress abdominal contents - Unilaterally • Laterally flex vertebral column to the same side • Rotate vertebral column to the same side
30
Origin of the transverse abdominis:
Lateral inguinal ligament, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia and internal surface of lower 6 ribs
31
Insertion of the transverse abdominis:
Abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
32
TVA, and obliques are responsible:
Stability of the core when doing other exercises
33
Action of the transverse abdominis:
Compress abdominal contents
34
Extension and ipsilateral side flexion
Erector spinae group • Spinalis • Longissimus • Iliocostalis
35
Extension & contralateral rotation
Transversospinalis group • Multifidi • Rotatores • Semispinalis Capitis
36
Extension, ipsilateral rotation, & lateral flexion
* Capitus | * Cervicis
37
Taking right arm to left knee:
External | Internal
38
Origin of the quadratus lumborum:
Posterior iliac crest
39
Insertion of the quadratus lumborum:
Last rib and L1-L4 transverse processes
40
Action of the quadratus lumborum:
- Unilaterally • Laterally flexes vertebral column to same side • Laterally tilt (elevate) the pelvis • Assist to extend the vertebral column - Bilaterally • Fix the last rib during forced inhalation and exhalation
41
Origin of the sternocleidomastoid:
- Sternal head • Top of manubrium - Clavicular head • Medial ⅓ of the clavicle
42
Insertion of the sternocleidomastoid:
Mastoid process of the temporal bone and the lateral portion of superior nuchal line of occiput
43
Action of the sternocleidomastoid:
- Bilaterally: • Flex the neck • Assist to elevate the ribcage during inhalation - Unilaterally: • Rotate the head and neck to the opposite side • Laterally flex the head and neck to the same side
