Actions and Innervations Flashcards
I: Trapezius
Spinal accessory nerve, C1-C5 cord levels
I: Latissimus dorsi
Thoracodorsal nerve, ventral rami C6-C8
I: Levator scapulae
Dorsal scapular nerve, ventral ramus C5 plus ventral rami C3, C4
I: Rhomboid major
Dorsal scapular nerve, ventral ramus C5 plus ventral ramus C4
I: Rhomboid minor
Dorsal scapular nerve, ventral ramus C5 plus ventral ramus C4
I: Splenius capitis
Dorsal rami C3-C5
A: Splenius capitis
Laterally flex head and rotate face to side; bilaterally extend head
I: Splenius cervicis
Dorsal rami C5-C7
A: Splenius cervicis
Laterally flex and rotate neck; bilaterally extend neck
I: Iliocostalis lumborum
Dorsal rami lower thoracics, all lumbars
A: Iliocostalis lumborum
Extension, lateral flexion, rotation of lumbar spine; lateral movement of pelvis
I: Iliocostalis thoracis
Dorsal rami T1-T6
A: Iliocostalis thoracis
Extension, lateral flexion of thoracic spine
I: Iliocostalis cervicis
Dorsal rami T1, T2; rarely C8
A: Iliocostalis cervicis

I: Longissimus capitis
Dorsal rami C1-C3, sometimes C4
A: Longissimus capitis
Rotate and laterally flex head; bilaterally extend head
I: Spinalis thoracis
Dorsal rami thoracics and upper lumbars
A: Spinalis thoracis
Extend thoracic spine
