4. Back Myology Flashcards
Where do serrated muscles attach?
The ribs.
What does “fusiform” mean?
Big in the middle, small on the ends
What do Multicaudal muscles have that other’s don’t?
Multiple tendons
Functionally, what do Agonists do?
Flex a joint
Functionally, what do Antagonists do?
Extend a joint
What do Synergist muscles do?
Assists the agonists
Trapezius
Origin, Attachment, Action, Innervation and Artery
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
Latissimus Dorsi
Origin, insertion, action, Innervation and Artery
- Origin: lower throacic, ribs 9-12, illica crest, L1-5 spinous process and median scaral crest via throacolmbar fascia
- insertion: anterior side of humerous (intertubrcular groove)
- Action: extend, adduct and medially rotate the huemrus. Also rotate the glenoid cavity (point of shoulder) inferiorly
- Thoracodorsal Nerve
- Thoracodorsal Artery
For Rhomboid Minor, Rhomboid Major and Levator Scaupluae
Innervation and Artery
Dorsal Scapular Nerve
Dorsal Scapular Artery
Rhomboid Major
O: SPINOUS PROCES OF t2-5
I: medial border of scapula (inferior scapula spine)
A: retract and elevate scapula, rotate the glenoid cavity down
Rhomboid Minor
O: SPINOUS PROCES OF C7 to T 1
I: medial border of scapula (at scapular spine)
A: retract and elevate scapula, rotate the glenoid cavity down
Levator Scapulae
O: posteior tubercles of transferese process c1-4
I: medial borders of scapula above the spine
A: elevate the scapula, rotate the glenoid cavity inferiorly. will also extend and laterally flex the neck WHEN SCAPULA IS FIXED.
Serratus Posterior Superior
Origin, Insertion, Action, Innervation and Artery
- O: spinous process of C7-T3
- I: superior surfaces of ribs 2-4
- ELEVATE RIBS WITH FORCED INSPIRATION (primarily proprioceptive)
- Intercostal Nerve
- Intercostal Artery
For Serratus Posterior Inferior
Origin, insertion, Action, Innervation and Artery
- spinous process of T11-12
- inferior surface of ribs 8-12
- Depress ribs with forced exipration (primarly propoceptive)
- Anterior Ramus of T9-12
- Intercostal Arteries
What three segments are there to the Iliocostalis Muscle?
Iliocostalis Lumborum (this is the only Lumborum)
Iliocostalis Thoracis
Iliocostalis Cervicis
