8/18 Back And Spine Anatomy Intro Flashcards
What element of us somite becomes a vertebrae
Sclerotome
What area of the somite becomes intrinsic back muscles
The epimere of the myotome
What part of the somite becomes ventral lateral muscles
The hypo mere of the myotome
What element of the somite becomes the dermis of the back
The dermatome
What is the difference between the epimere and the hypomere
The epimere is at the top of the myotome section of the somite and has cells that migrate to form back muscles. The Hypomere is at the bottom of the myotome section of the somite and migrates cells to form the hypaxial muscles including to the lower limbs
What does a Sclerotome become?
The vertebra that protect the spinal cord
Where are somites located in an embryo
They’re located along the dorsal of the embryo with 812 five and eight somites in different sections I think
What is the large diamond shaped muscle near the top of the back that connects the scapula spine and head
Trapezius
What are the primary roles of the trapezius
Elevate adduct and rotate the scapula
What is the innervation of the trap easiest muscle
Spinal accessory nerve or CN 11
How does the unique fiber orientation of the trapezius muscle lead to its numerous actions
The trapezius muscle has fibers that are oriented up and down near a horizontal and going down towards the base of the spine this makes it so that it can contract and cods elevation abduction and rotation of the Scapula
What is the primary action of the rhomboid major and minor muscle
Adduct the scapula
What is the innervation of the rhomboid major and minor
To the C5 vertebrae dorsal scrapula nerve
Describe the topographical relationship at the rhomboid major minor and the Levator scapula muscles to each other and to the trapezius
All of these muscles are located anterior to the trapezius
What are the primary actions of the levator scrapula muscle
Elevate the scrapula
What is the innervation of the Levator scrapula muscle
Through the c5 vertebrae and the dorsal scapular nerve
Latissimus dorsi muscle primary action
Abduct or extend the humorous
What is the innervation of the latissimus dorsi muscle
Through the C6 C7 and C8 vertebrae and the thiracedorsal nerve
What are some other names for the deep back muscles
The intrinsic back muscles the paraspinal muscles or the epaxial muscles
Is the difference between superficial back muscles and deep deep muscles
Superficial back muscles are really upper limb muscles that are derived from the hypomere and innervated by the central remus. The deep back muscles are derived from the Epimere
Where are splenius capitis muscle and splenius cervicis
In the neck at the top of the spine
Actions of the splenius muscles
Head and neck extension and rotation
What are the three erector spinal muscles down the middle of the back?
Illiocostalis and longissimis and spinalis
