Obliquus Capitis Superior
O- TPs of C1I- Occipital bone between superior and inferior nuchal linesA- Extension of head and lateral flexion of head and neckN- Suboccipital nerveB- Vertebral and occipital artery
Vasculature of back
Transverse cervical artery, Dorsal Scapular artery, Thoracodorsal artery, Posterior intercostal Arteries, Occipital artery, Vertebral artery
Transverse Cervical
highly variable, superfiscial cervical branch deep of trapezius, runs with CN XIdorsal scpular atery deep branch supplies levator scapulae and rhomboid muscles, artery does not branch from here
Dorsal Scapular
from subclavian artery, passes through trunk of brachial plexus, supplies levator scapulae and rhomboid muscles and runs with dorsal scapular nerve
Thoracodorsal artery
1 of 2 terminal branches of subscapular artery, supplies latissimus dorsi muscle and runs with thoracodorsal nerve
Posterior Intercostal ateries
from descending thoracic aorta, dorsal cutaneous branches that supply deep back muscles
Occipital artery
from external carotin artery, supplies posterior scalp and suboccipital muscles
Vertebral Artery
from subclavian artery, enters neck at C6, passes thru transverse foramin and exits C1. supplys suboccipital region, enter foramen magnum with help of circle of willis
Innervation of Back
Dorsal Rami of Spinal Nerve, Spinal Accessory, Thoracodorsal Nerve, Dorsal Scapular nerve
Dorsal Rami of Spinal Nerve
fixed from spinal nerve, some unique rami; C1 - larger dorsal ramus exits b/w occiput and C1 vertebrae and is called suboccipital nerveC2 - larger doral ramus, exits b/w C1 and C2, medial division of this nerve is the greater occipital nervesupplies intrinsic back muscles
Spinal Accessory Nerve
CN XI, supplies trapezius muscles
Thoracodorsal Nerve
branch of posterior cord of brachial plexus C6-8, supplies latissimus dorsi muscle
Dorsal Scapular Nerve
branch of ventral rams of C5, supplies the levator scapulae and rhomboid muscles
