Exam 4 Muscles Flashcards
OIAs and innervations of the fourth exam muscles
Sternocleidomastoid
O : sternum and medial third of clavicle
I : mastoid process of temporal bone
Action: flexion of head/neck, lateral flexion and rotation of face to opposite side
In : accessory nerve (motor), C2, and C3, (sensory)
Anterior Scalene
O : transverse processes of the third and sixth cervical vertebrae
I : first rib
A : fixation or elevation of the first rib during inhalation, with the rib fixed it is lateral flexion of the neck
In : ventral rami of the cervical spinal nerves at the origin of the muscle
Middle Scalene
O : transverse processes of the lower five to six cervical vertebrae and possibly the atlas
I : first rib
A : fixation or elevation of the first rib during inhalation, with rib fixed it is lateral flexion of the neck
In : ventral rami of the cervical spinal nerves at the origin of the muscle
Posterior Scalene
O : transverse processes of the C5 - C6 cervical vertebrae
I : second rib
A : fixation or elevation of the second rib during inhalation
In : ventral rami of the cervical spinal nerves at the origin of the muscle
Longus Colli
O : bodies of C5 - T3 & transverse processes of C5 - C6
I : transverse processes of C5 - C6, anterior surface of atlas, bodies of C2 - C4
A : flexion & possibly lateral flexion of the neck
In : ventral rami of C2 - C6
Longus Capitis
O : transverse processes of C3 - C6
I : occipital bone
A : flexion of head & upper cervical vertebrae
In : ventral rami of C1 - C3
Rectus Capitis Anterior
O : lateral mass of atlas
I : occipital bone
A : stabilization of the atlanto-occipital joint, flexion of the head
In : ventral rami of C1 - C2
Rectus Capitis Lateralis
O : transverse process of atlas
I : occipital bone
A : stabilization of atlanto-occipital joint, lateral flexion of the head
In : ventral rami of C1 - C2
Iliocostalis Cervicis
O : upper borders of the upper 6-7 ribs
I : transverse processes of fourth to six cervical vertebrae
A : extension of vertebral column and lateral flexion
In : dorsal rami of spinal nerves

A : extension / lateral flexion of the vertebral column
In : dorsal rami of the spinal nerves
Spinalis Cervicis
O : ligamentum nuchae, spinous processes of C7 - T2
I : spinous processes of C2 - C4
A - extension/lateral flexion of the vertebral column
In : dorsal rami of the spinal nerves
Semispinalis Capitis
O : transverse processes of T1 - T7, articular processes of lower C5 - C7
I : occipital bone
A : extension of the head
In : dorsal rami of cervical nerves and thoracic nerves
Semispinalis Cervicis
O : transverse processes of upper T1 - T6
