Back Muscles Flashcards
Splenius Capitis
O: Arises from ligament nuchae and the SPs of C7-T4
I: Fibers run superolaterally to mastoid process of temporal bone and lateral third of superior nuchal line of occipital bone
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Acting alone, they laterally bend and ipsilateral rotation; together they extend the head and neck
Splenius Cervicis
O: Ligament Nuchae, SPs of T3-T6
I: Tubercles of TPs of C1-C3 or C4 vertebra
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Acting alone, they laterally bend and ipsilateral rotation; together they extend the head and neck
Interspinales
O: Superior surfaces of SPs of Cervical and Lumbar vertebrae
I: Inferior surfaces of SPs of vertebrae superior to vertebrae of origin
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Aid in extension and rotation of vertebral column; Proprioception
Intertransversarii
O: TPs of cervical and lumbar vertebrae
I: TPs of adjacent vertebrae
N: Segmental PPRs; Lateral group receives APR input
A: Aid in lateral bending of vertebral column; acting bilaterally they stabilize vertebral column; proprioception
Iliocostalis Lumborum
O: Middle Crest of Sacrum, Iliac Crests, SPs of T11-L5, Sacrotuberous and Post Sacroiliac Ligament, Thoracolumbar Fascia
I: Angles of Ribs 7-12
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Together they extend vertebral column/as back is flexed they control movement by gradually lengthening their fibers; Alone they laterally bend/ipsilateral rotation
Iliocostalis Thoracis
O: Angles of Ribs 7-12
I: Angles of Ribs 1-6, TP of C7
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Together they extend vertebral column/as back is flexed they control movement by gradually lengthening their fibers; Alone they laterally bend/ipsilateral rotation
Iliocostalis Cervicis
O: Angles of Ribs 3-6
I: TPs of C4-C6
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Together they extend vertebral column/as back is flexed they control movement by gradually lengthening their fibers; Alone they laterally bend/ipsilateral rotation
Longissimus Thoracis
O: TPs of L1-L5, Thoracolumbar Fascia
I: TPs of T1-T12, Ribs 3-12 between angles and tubercles
N: Segmental PPRs
A: Together they extend vertebral column/as back is flexed they control movement by gradually lengthening their fibers; Alone they laterally bend
Longissimus Cervicis
O: TPs of T1-T5
I: TPs of C2-C6

Semispinalis Thoracis
O: TPs of T6-T10(12)
I: SPs of C6-T4
N: Segmental PPRs
