248. Regions of the back Flashcards
Borders of the back
superior: superior nuchal line
inferior: line from tailbone to spina iliaca posterior inferior and iliac crest
lateral: lateral surfaces of neck and trunk
What are 2 palapable anatomical landmarks on the back
External occipital protuberance
Spinous process of C7
Borders of regio colli posterior
Superior: Superior nuchal line
Inferior: Line from spinous process C7 to acromion of scapula
Laterally: Posterior neck region bounded by mastoid process to acromion
Regio colli posterior:
The superficial fascia contains sensory nerves and blood vessels. What is found below the Superior nuchal line?
Major occipital nerve
Occipital artery and vein
Also tertiary occiptial nerve
Regio colli posterior:
Cutaneous nerves of this region
Medial rami of the dorsal rami of spinal nerves 4-8
occiptales minor nerve from cervical plexus
Regio colli posterior:
Deep fascia:
Where is the nuchal ligament located
From external occipital protuberance and external occipital crest to spinous processes of cervical vertebrae
Regio colli posterior:
Deep fascia:
Muscles in this compartment
- Descending region of trapezius
- Rhomboid major and minor , splenius capitis and cervicis
- semispinalis capitis, longissimus capitis, levator scapuale
- Semispinalis cervicis,rotatores cervicis, iliocostalis cervicis, longissimus cervicis
- interspinales attached to spinous processes
Regio colli posterior:
Deep fascia:
What vessels supply these muscles
Medial and lateral branches of dorsal rami of soinal nerves
Comitant arterial and venous branches
Arteria et vena cervicalis profunda emerge between semispinalis cervicis and capitis
Occipital artery meets with major occipital nerve on posteriro head region
Regio colli posterior:
Are there any lymph nodes?
1/2 nodes: Nodi occipitales
Near trapezius insertion at superiro nuchal line
Regio colli posterior:
What is the suboccipital triangle bounded by and what are the contents
Medial: Rectus capitis posteriro major
Superolaterally: obliquus capitis superior
Inferolaterally: obliquus capitis inferior
CONTENTS:

- Suboccipital nerve
- major occipital nerve
Borders of regio scapularis
medial: anguli costarum (v.column)
lateral: posterior border of deltoideus muscle
Superior: line between C7 spinous process and acromion
inferior: Line passing through inferiro angle of scapula
Regio scapularis:
Cutaneous innervation
Supraclavicular nerves and cutaneous brachii laterales superior nerves
Regio scapularis:
Where does the deep fascia attactch
fossa infraspinata and supraspinata
Forming osteofibrous sheaths for the muscles- separated by scapula spine
Regio scapularis:
The muscles in the 2 osteofibrous sheaths
superior sheath: supraspinatus muscle
Inferior sheath: Infraspinatus, teres major and minor
Regio scapularis:
What 2 foramina are found in this region
foramen axillare laterale (quadrangular space)
foramen axillare mediale (triangular space)
