Actions And Innervations Flashcards
Trapezius
Innervation - spinal accessory nerve, C1-C5 cord levels
Latissimus Dorsi
Innervation - thoracodorsal nerve, ventral rami C6-C8
Levator Scapulae
Innervation - dorsal scapular nerve, ventral Ramus C5 plus ventral rami
C3, C4
Rhomboid Major
Innervation - dorsal scapular nerve, ventral Ramos C5 plus ventral
Ramus C4
Rhomboid Minor
Dorsal scapular nerve, ventral ramus C5 plus ventral ramus C4
Splenius Capitis
Innervation - dorsal rami C3-C5
Actions - Laterally flex head and rotate face to side; bilaterally
Extend head
Splenius Cervicis
Innervation - dorsal rami C5-C7
Action - laterally flex and rotate neck; bilaterally extend neck
Iliocostalis Lumborum
Innervation - dorsal rami lower T, All L
Action - Extension, lateral flexion, rotation of L spine; lateral movement of pelvis
Iliocostalis Thoracis
Innervation - dorsal rami T1-T6
Action - Extension, lateral flexion T spine
Iliocostalis Cervicis
Innervation - dorsal rami T1, T2; rarely C8
Action - Extension, lateral flexion, rotation lower C spine
Longissimus Thoracis
Innervation - dorsal rami T &L nerves
Action - Lateral flexion T spine & ribs (L spine inadvertently); bilaterally act in extension of T & L spine, hold T & L spine erect (increases L lordosis); lateral movement of pelvis
Longissimus Cervicis
Innervation - dorsal rami C4-C8; T1-T2
Action - lateral flexion of neck; bilaterally extend neck
Longissimus Capitis
Innervation - dorsal rami C1-C3, sometimes C4
Action - rotate & laterally flex head; bilaterally extend head
Spinalis Thoracis
Innervation - dorsal rami T & upper L
Action - Extend T spine
Spinalis Cervicis
Innervation - dorsal rami C
Action - Lateral flexion & rotation of C spine; bilaterally extend neck
