Chapter 14 quiz body wall Flashcards
breasts
- paired
- composed of adipose tissue mostly
- lactation in females
pectoralis major mm
paired
-superficial and fan shaped
-
pectoralis minor mm
- paired
- deep to the pectoralis major (also smaller)
external intercostal mm
- 11 pairs
- between ribs (do not extend to the sternum)
- elevate the ribs (inspiratory muscles)
internal intercostal mm
- 11 pairs
- between ribs
- don’t extend to the vertebral column
- depress the ribs (expiratory muscles)
linea alba
midline tendinous structure that runs between the xiphoid process and the pelvis
rectus abdominis mm
- paired
- muscles on either side of the linea alba
- flexes vertebral column; supports and compresses abdomen
rectus sheath
- paired fibrous sheaths
- surround rectus abdominis
tendinous intersections
- fibrous bands crossing the rectus abdominis producing the six pack look
external oblique m
- paired
- forms V
- flexes vertebral column; when one contracts the trunk is rotated or bent laterally
- abdominal support and compression
internal oblique
- paired
- forms A
- up and medially
- flexes vertebral column
- when one contracts the trun is rotated or bent laterally
- abdominal support and compression
tranversus abdominis m
- paired
- deep to internal oblique
- abdominal support and compression
serratus anterior muscle
- paired
- attach to the ribs and looks serrated
diaphragm
dome shaped
- separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
- increases the vertical dimension of the thoracic cavity (inspiratory muscle)
central tendon
- central part of the diaphragm
- composed of dense connective tissue
trapezius m
-paired
-triangular
- together they form a trapezoid
extends the head
rhomboid minor m
- paired
- each runs between the vertebral column and a scapula
- superior to the rhomboid major
rhomboid major m
- paired
- each runs between the vertebral column and a scapula; inferior to the rhomboid minor
levator scapulae m
- paired
- each runs between the vertebral column and a scapula
- contraction of one laterally bends the head to the same side
supraspinatus m
- paired
- each is superior to the spine of a scapula
infraspinatus m
- paired
- each in inferior to the spine of a scapula
teres minor m
- paired
- each runs from a scapula to a humerus
teres major m
- paired
- each runs from a scapula to a humerus
latissimus dorsi m
- paired
- covers large area of the back
erector spinae m
- paired
- postural muscles; acting together they extend the vertebral column or the head
- acting on one side they laterally bend the vertebral column or turn the face to the same side
quadratus lumborum m
- paired
- postural muscles; acting together they extend the vertebral column
- acting on one side they lateral bend the vertebral column
