Back Flashcards
SA: What vertebra is the vertebrae prominens?
C7
SA: Which vertebra aligns with the superior angle of the scapula?
~ T1 or T2
SA: Which vertebra aligns with the inferior angle of the scapula?
~ T7
SA: Which vertebra aligns with the iliac crest?
L4
Extrinsic back mm. (“superficial & intermediate groups”) are involved in what kind of movements? General innervation?
- Movements of the UEs and thoracic wall
- Innervated by anterior rami of spinal nerves
Intrinsic back mm. (“true mm.”, “deep group”) are involved in what kind of movements? General innervation? What’s the 1 she cares about?
- Support & move the vertebral column, participate in moving the head
- Innervated by posterior rami of spinal nerves
- erector spinae (iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis)
Extrinsic back mm.–superficial group (Involved in UE movement). What mm. are in the first and second layers?
- Layer 1: latissimus dorsi & trapezius
- Layer 2: rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, levator scapulae (all inserted into the medial border of the scapula)
Extrinsic back mm.–intermediate group (associated w/T-wall)
- Serratus posterior superior (elevates ribs)
- Serratus posterior inferior (depresses ribs)
Trapezius-OIIA + what a. supplies it?
O-superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, nuchal ligament, spinous processes of C7-T12
I-lateral 3rd of clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula
I-Accessory nerve (CN 11)
A-elevates, retracts, rotates scapula; lower fibers depress scapula
*Supplied by the transverse cervical a.
Latissimus dorsi-OIIA + a.?
O-spinous processes of T7-L5, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, & last 3 ribs
I-humerus (intertubercular sulcus)
I-thoracodorsal nerve
A-extends, adducts, and medially rotates the humerus. Also plays a role in coughing and sneezing (expiratory efforts)
*Supplied by the thoracodorsal a.
Levator scapulae-OIIA
O-posterior tubercles of transverse processes of C1-C4
I-medial border of scapula from superior angle to spine
I-ventral rami of C3-C4 & dorsal scapular nerve
A-Elevates scapula. Flexes head and neck laterally
Rhomboid major-OIIA
O-spinous processes of T2-T5 vertebrae
I-medial border of scapula before base of the spine of the scapula
I-dorsal scapular nerve
A-fixes scapula to T-wall and retracts & rotates it to depress glenoid cavity
Rhomboid minor-OIIA
O-ligamentum nuchae, spines of C7 and T1 vertebrae
I-medial border of scapula at spine of scapula
I-dorsal scapular nerve
A-fixes scapula to T-wall and retracts & rotates it to depress glenoid cavity
Serratus posterior inferior-OIIA
O-spinous processes of T11-L1
I-inferior aspect of ribs 9-12
I-ventral rami of lower thoracic nerves
A-depresses ribs
Serratus posterior superior-OIIA
O-ligamentum nuchae, spinous processes C7-T3
I-superior aspect of ribs 2-4
I-ventral rami of upper thoracic nerves
A-elevates ribs
