A

T3-T4 down to T10-T11

17
Q

Based on the density of muscle spindles what is the proposed function of the interspinalis?

A

acts as a proprioceptive transducer in conjunction with intertransversarii to coordinate the smooth movement of the spine and to maintain appropriate posture

A

accessory process of transverse process L1-L4

mammillary process of superior articular process L1-L4

20
Q

Which of the lumbar intertransversarii is innervated by dorsal rami of lumbar spinal nerves?

A

medial belly, lumbar intertransversarii

21
Q

Which muscle group is innervated by both dorsal rami and ventral rami of spinal nerves?

A

intertransversarii

22
Q

Based on the density of muscle spindles what is the proposed function of the intertransversarii?

A

acts as a proprioceptive transducer in conjunction with interspinalis to coordinate the smooth movement of the spine and to maintain appropriate posture

23
Q

What is the origin of the longus colli?

A

vertebral bodies of C5-C6, T1-T3 and anterior tubercles of transverse processes C3-C5

24
Q

What will innervate the longus colli?

A

ventral rami of C2-C6 or C7 spinal nerves

25
Q

What will innervate the longus capitis?

A

the ventral rami of C1-C3 spinal nerves

26
Q

What is the origin of the rectus capitis anterior?

A

lateral mass and costal element of the transverse process of C1

27
Q

What will innervate the rectus capitis anterior?

A

ventral rami of C1-C2 spinal nerves

A

between the tubercle and groove for the subclavian artery on the first rib

32
Q

What will innervate the middle scalene?

A

the ventral rami of C3-C8 spinal nerves

33
Q

What is the insertion of the posterior scalene?

outer surface of second rib

34
Q

What will innervate the posterior scalene?

A

the ventral rami of C6-C8 spinal nerves
