A

ridge running transversely across the scapula

36
Q

inferior angle of the scapula

A

the bottom of the scapula

37

A

lines leading to occipital protuberance

38
Q

mastoid process of the temporal lobe

A

bottom process on the lateral side of the temporal lobe

39
Q

Where are the cervical vertebrae and how many are there?

A

top- 7

40
Q

Describe the different layers of back muscles and what they are innervated by

A

extrensic- contains the superficial and intermediate levels. superficial muscles move the upper extremities and intermediate muscles control respiration. innervated by ventral rami
intrinsic- contains deep muscles that stabilize and move the axial skeleton. dorsal rami

41
Q

What are the extrensic muscles? What are they innervated by?

A

trapezius, latissimus dorsi, levator scapula, rhomboid major and minor. innervated by the ventral rami (except traps)

42
Q

OINF Trapezius

A

O- superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, liamentum nuchae, spinous process of C7-T12

I- lateral 1/3 of clavicle, acromion process, spine of scapula

N- accessory nerve

F- superior fibers elevate and laterally rotate scapula
middle fibers retract scapula
inferior fibers depress and laterally rotate scapula

43
Q

OINF Levator scapula

A

O- Transverse processes of C1 to C4

I- Superior angle of scapula

N- dorsal scapular nerve

F- elevates scapula

44
Q

OINF Rhomboid Minor

A

O- sacrum, iliac crest, ribs, transverse processes of vertebrae

I- Spinous and transverse of vertebrae, ribs, skull

N- dorsal rami of spinal nerves

N- dorsal rami of spinal nerves

F- bilaterally- extend the head and neck, unilaterally- rotate head to the side

51
Q

What is the skin of the back innervated by?

A

Dorsal rami

52
Q

Describe the organization of blood vessels in the spine

A

Blood vessels from the descending aorta associated with the thoracic vertebrae are posterior intercostal arteries. Blood vessels associated with the lumbar vertebrae are the lumbar arteries

53
Q

Describe the development of the paraxial mesoderm

A

During the 3rd week, the paraxial mesoderm begins to organize into somites, starting in the occipital region. Each somite then goes on to form a sclerotome, dermatome, and myotome

54
Q

Describe a sclerotome

A

forms bones, ribs, part of intervertebral disc (annulus fibrosis), and connective tissue. comprised of loosely organized mesenchyme from the center of the somite which migrate around notochord and neural tube

55
Q

Describe a myotome

A

produces a layer along the lateral aspect of the embryo. goes on to differentiate into the dorsally located epaxial (intrinsic muscles) group and ventrally located hypaxial group (ventrolateral body wall and muscles of the limbs)

56
Q

Describe a dermatome and its different potential meanings

A

spreads out to form the epidermis of the back from the somite in an embryo. In an adult, the dermatome is the area of skin innervated by a pair of spinal nerves.
