23
Q

Erector spinea

A

Erector - straight; spinea - spirals

A collective name for the group of three muscles that extend and maintain balance of the spine and rib cage. They are used in strong contraction in coughing and straining. Can be referred to as “sacrospinalis”, or “paraspinal” or “paravertebral”

24
Q

Erector spinea is divided into three groups

A

Medial to lateral (s,l,i)
Spinalis = closest to the spine
Longissmus= long (goes the farthest)
Iliocostalis = ilium/ ribs

25
Erector spinea 4 areas
Areas Lumborum- lumbar region Thoracis - thorax/thoracic Cervicis = neck/ cervical Capitis = head
26
Erector spinea group Actions same for all muscles
Unilaterally - laterally flex vertebral column to the same side Bilaterally - extend the vertebral column
27
Spinalis I, O
Closest to the spine; spinous process to spinous process O - spinous processes of the upper lumbar and lower thoracic vertebrae (THORACIS); ligamentum nuchae, spinous process of C-7 (CERVICIS) I- spinous process of upper thoracic (THORACIS); spinous process of cervical s, except C-1 (CERVICIS)
28
Longissimus I, O
Is the longest and goes to cranium (sacrum to mastoid process) Intermediate to the spinalis and the iliocostalis Transverse to transverse with some rib attachment O - TP lumbar to the common tendon (THORACIS); TP of upper thoracic vertebrae (CERVICIS AND CAPITIS) I - lower nine ribs and TP OF 4-12 thoracic vertebrae (THORACIS); TP of cervical vertebrae (CERVICIS); mastoid process of the temporal bone (CAPITIS)
29
Iliocostalis O, I
O: sacrum and ilium via common tendon (lumborum), inferior borders of ribs 1-12 (thoracic and cervicis I: inferior border of ribs 1-6 (thoracis), TP of lower cervicals (cervicis) LUMBORIUM REGION INSERT INFERIOR BORDER 6-12????
