Q

Trapezius

Origin, Attachment, Action, Innervation and Artery

A

Orign: ligamentum nucahe, all C and T, occipital lobe

Attachment: clavical, acromion, and scapular spine

  • Whole muslce: rotate point of glenoid cavity superiory and retract the scapula
  • upper fibers: elevate scapula
  • lower fibers: depress scapula
  • while the scapula fixed: upper fibers will extend the neck working bilaterally, laterally flex the neck and rotate the face away when woring unilaterally
    • Spinal Accessory Nerve (CN XI)
  • Transverse Cervical Artery

Q

splenius capitius

A

O: lower half of nucal ligmanet and C7 to mid T spinous process

I: temproal bone and occpital bone

A: extend neck when working bilaterally and latarally flex neck and rotate face towards when working unilatarally

N: Posterior Rami (c3-5)

17
Q

Splenius cervicis

A

O: spinous process T3-6

I: transverse process C1-3

A:extend the neck when working bilaterally, latarally flex neck and roate face towards when working unilaterally

N: posterior Rami

18
Q

What three segments are there for Longissimus?

Which portion is the largest for this muscle?

A

Longissimus Thoracis (largest)

Longissimus Cervicis

Longissimus Capitis (Inserts at the Mastoid process, to help locate it)

19
Q

ILS Muscles are _____. They are also called _____. Their action is to _______. They are innervated by _____.

A
  • largest layer
  • erector spinae group
  • maintain erect posture and extend the vertebral columb and head when working bilatarlly. They also latearlly flex thev ertebral column when working unilatarally.
  • posterior rami
20
Q

What region of Spinalis is likely to be visable?

A

Spinalis Thoracis (Even still is often confusible with Longissimus because it is small)

21
Q

What is damaged in a back strain?

What is damaged in a back sprain?

A

A strain is damage to a muscle fiber by excessive stretching of a muscle due to contraction.

A sprain is injury to the ligamentous attachment between bones.

Remember that a sprained ankle has nothing to do with muscles.

22
Q

What are the four types of Transversospinalis muscles?

How far (in number of vertebrae) does each one go up?

A

(From largest to smallest)

Semispinalis (5-6)

Multifidus (3-4)

Rotatores Longus (2)

Rotatores Brevis (1)

23
Q

Within the group of Transversospinalis muscles, what are the three Semispinalis muscles? What are the rest?

A
  • Semispinalis Capitis
  • Semispinalis Cervicis
  • Semispinalis Thoracis (just a transversospinalis muscle that goes up 5-6)
  • Multifidus M: Extending 3-4 spinal segments, best in lumbar region
  • Rotatores Longus: extending 2 spinal segments
  • Rotatores Brevis: extends to the adjacent spinal segment
24
Q

What is the collective name of the muscles which traverse between spinous processes?

A

Interspinalis Muscles. Travel from one spinous process to the other. Best developed in lumbar and cervical regions. They extend the spine.

25
Q

What is the collective name for muscles which traverse between transverse processes?

A

Intertranversarii Muscles. Travel from one spinous process to the other and laterally flex the spine. The posterior portion is inervated by posterior rami and anterior protion is inervated by anterior rami. Best developed in cervical and lumbar regions.

Q

What are the four muscles of the Suboccipital region?

What nerve innervates them?

A

Rectus Capitis Posterior Major
