Deep Back Flashcards
what are the three Erector Spinae group?
- ## -
- Illiocostalis
- Longissimuss
- Spinalis
Erector Spinae: Illiocostalis - most lateral muscle
Erector spinae: Longissimuss
Erector Spinae: Spinalis - most medial
Splenius Capitis
Semispinalis Capitis
What is this called?
Dura mater - The first layer of the CNS
Which is the one right?
Arachnoid matter - Middle layer of the CNS
Arachnoid mater is a thin opaque layer that sends wispy fibers inward to the pia mater. This created the spider web appearance that gives the arachnoid mater its name. The spinal arachnoid mater has a similar function and appearance to the cranial arachnoid mater. It is the middle of the three meningeal layers.
KEY FEATURES/ANATOMICAL RELATIONS
The arachnoid mater is located adjacent to the dura mater, separated from it by the potential subdural space. It is also separated from the spinal cord and pia mater by the presence of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space. At the level of the second sacral vertebra, the arachnoid mater fuses with the dura mater.
Which is the one on the left
pia mater
What is the green?
Conus medullaris
what is the middle white line?
Cauda Equina
What does the bottom white line represent?
filum terminale - a fibrous band that extends from the conus medullaris to the periosteum of the coccyx, and its functions are to fixate, stabilize, and buffer the distal spinal cord from normal and abnormal cephalic and caudal traction.
