Back, Chest, and Shoulder Muscles Flashcards
SUPERFICIAL ERECTOR SPINAE
The superficial erector spinae are a complex muscle group made up of the iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis muscles, each of which are subdivided based on the vertebrae at which they insert, respectively. All muscles of the superficial erector spinae share a common origin of the iliac crest of the pelvis, sacrum, and spinous and transverse processes of T1–L5.
