A
Most medial and smallest division 
Poorly developed (usually only thoracic part is present)
Spinalis Thoracis
Spinalis Cervicis
Spinalis Lumborum
21
Q

Transversospinalis Muscle Group

A

Deep to the erector spinae
Semispinalis
Multifidus
Segmental Muscles

22
Q

Semispinalis

A

Thoracis, Cervicis, Capitis
Muscle fibers run longitudinally
Lie superficial to the multifidus

23
Q

Spinalis thoracis O and I

A
O = Spine of T11-L2
I = Spine of T1 - T4
24
Q

Semispinalis Cervicis O and I

A
O = Transverse process of T1 -T6
I = Spine of C2 - C5
25
Q

Semispinalis Capitis O and I

A
O = Transverse and Articular processes of T1-T6
I = Occipital Bone
26
Q

Multifidus

A

Deep to semispinalis
Thickest in lumbar region
Sacral and Lumbar areas are covered by the erector spinae
Thoracic and Cervical areas are covered by semispinalis

27
Q

Segmental Muscles

A

Deepest part of the transversospinalis group
Deep to multifidus
Three Sets = Interspinalis, Intertransversarii, Rotators

28
Q

Interspinalis

A

Well developed in cervical and lumbar regions
Muscles are separated by interspinous ligaments
C2 to T1
Lacking in thoracic region

29
Q

Intertransversarii

A

Vertically btw adjacent transverse processes
Well developed in cervical and lumbar regions
None in thoracic region

30
Q

Rotators

A

Single origin and single insertion
Best developed in thoracic region
Long and Short rotators

31
Q

Long Rotators (Longus) O and I

A

O = Transverse Processes
I = Spinous processes of 2nd vertebrae above
Found in lumbar, thoracic and cervical areas
Skip a vertebrae

32
Q

Short Rotators (Brevis) O and I

A

O = Transverse processes
I = Spinous process of vertebrae above
Lumbar, thoracic, and cervical areas
Attach to vertebrae above (don’t skip)

33
Q

Suboccipital Muscles

A

Connects skull to atlas and axis
Oblique Capitis Inferior
Oblique Capitis Superior
Rectus Capitis Posterior Major
Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor
Nerve supply = Dorsal Ramus of C1 (suboccipital nerve)
Greater Occipital Nerve = sensory nerve to posterior scalp - no innervation to these muscles though

34
Q

Oblique Capitis Inferior O and I

A
O = Spine of axis
I = Transverse process of atlas
35
Q

Oblique Capitis Superior O and I

A
O = Transverse process of atlas
I = Occipital bone
36
Q

Recuts Capitis Posterior Major O and I

A
O = Spine of axis
I = Occipital bone
37
Q

Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor O and I

A
O = Posterior tubercle of atlas
I = Occipital bone
38
Q

Vertebral Column Movements

A

Flexion
Extension
Lateral Flexion (side to side)
Rotation (same or opposite side)

39
Q

Flexion -

A

Anterior trunk muscles
Gravity
Back muscles act as antagonistic

40
Q

Extension -

A

All deep back muscles except intertransversarii

Erector Spinae is chief extensor

41
Q

Lateral Flexion -

A

Intertransversari
Splenius Capitis and Cervicis rotate the head
All muscles on opposite side control flexion b relaxing gradually

42
Q

Rotation -

A

Multidifidus, rotators, semispinalis - rotate to opposite side
Splenius and erector spinae - to same side
