The back Flashcards
(31 cards)
cervical vertebrae
-small
-foramen in transverse process
-bifid spinous process
thoracic vertebrae
-ribs wiht synovial joint
-lumber punture happens here
lumber vertebrae
-vertebral body 1/2 or more of the vertebral spinal curvature
-concave
-develop in infacy and toddler stage
cervical
develops as baby begins to hold head up
sacral
develops as baby begins to stand/crawl
types of movement
-extension, flexion
-latreral flexion
-rotation
lateral rotation
to the side
medial rotation
to middle
intervertebral joints
-symphysical
-synovial
symphysical
where two vertebral bodies meet
-cushioned by intervertebral disk
synovial
between articular processes
-cushioned by synovial fluid
anulus fibrosus
tough fibrocartlidge
-prevents too much rotation
nucleus pulposus
cushioning
intrinsic
origin, insertion, and body fully
-innervated by posterior rami
-movement of head and vertebral column
extrinsic
parts of the muscles extend in other regions
-innervated mostly by anterior rami
-deep within thoracic wall
-superficial associated with limbs
superficial extrinsic muscle
trapezius and latissimus dorsi
Trapezius
-Superior fibers elevate scapulae (shrug shoulders)
-Inferior aid posterior when rotate the scapula upward, (raising hand)
-Motor innervation by accessory nerve (CN-XI)
-Sensory neurons enter spinal cord at C3 and C4
-Blood supply by transverse cervical artery
latissimus dorsi
Extension, adduction, and medial rotation of humerus
Thoracodorsal nerve
Thoracodorsal artery
Levator scapulae
Elevates scapula (synergist to trapezius)
C3-C5
Transverse and ascending cervical artery
Rhomboid major and minor
-Retract and elevate scapulae
-Dorsal scapular nerve
-Transverse cervical artery
Serratus posterior superior
Elevates ribs II-V
T2-T5 anterior rami
-aids in respiration
Serratus posterior inferior
Depresses ribs IX to XII
Stops diaphragm from raising ribs
T9-T12 anterior rami
- aids in respiration
Splenius capitis
O – ligamentum nuchae
I – Mastoid processes
Posterior rami of middle cervical nerves
-Extend neck, turn head when only one side contracts
Splenius cervicis
Synergist
Posterior rami of lower cervical nerves
-Extend neck, turn head when only one side contracts
