Exam 4 Regional Anatomy; Back, Abdomen Flashcards
What are the superficial group of muscles that produce and control limb movements and intermediate group of muscles involved in respiration?
Extrinsic Back Muscles
What group of muscles in the back are considered the true back muscles because they specifically act on vertebral column, producing its movements and maintaining posture?
Intrinsic Back Muscles
What are the superficial back muscles?
- Trapezius
- Levator Scapulae
- Rhomboideus (Minor and Major)
- Latissimus dorsi
This group of intermediate back muscles is comprised of superficial respiratory muscles?
Serratus Posterior Group
What is the location on the back of the Serratus posterior group?
- Serratus Posterior Superior: Deep to Rhomboids, under scapula
- Serratus Posterior Inferior: Deep to Latissimus Dorsi
What are the Serratus muscles innervated by?
Spinal Intercostal Nerves
What function does the Serratus Posterior Superior serve?
Elevates Rib Cage: Important in Inspiration
What function does the Serratus Posterior Inferior serve?
Depresses lower four ribs: Important in forceful expiration
Which dermatome is the most superior and does not supply the upper limb?
T1
What forms the Thorax?
- Ribs: 12 Pairs
- Sternum
- Costal Cartilages
- Thoracic Vertebrae: 12
What provides attachment points for muscles of the neck, thorax, upper limbs, abdomen, and back?
Thoracic Cage
What is comprised of the thoracic cage, and associated skin, muscles, and fascia?
Thoracic Wall
This protects the contents of the thoracic cavity (Heart and Lungs) and some abdominal organs (Liver, Spleen)?
Thoracic Wall
Name the externally visible features of the thoracic wall?
- Jugular Notch (Suprasternal Notch)
- Clavicles
- Pectoralis Major
- Serratus Anterior
- Costal Arch of ribs 7-10
This group of thoracic wall muscles are generally considered to be upper limb muscles and are anterior thoracic muscles or axial muscles that produce and control limb movements?
Thoracoappendicular Muscles
What are the three layers of the Intercostal Muscles?
External Intercostal (Outer) Internal Intercostal (Middle) Innermost Intercostal (Inner) also on anterior aspect Transversus Thoracis On posterior aspect Subcostal
Which Intercostal Muscles elevate the rib cage (Inspiration)?
External Intercostal Muscles
Which intercostal muscles travel obliquely downward lateral to medial?
External Intercostal Muscles
Which intercostal muscles are oriented at right angles to external intercostal muscle (up and in)?
Internal Intercostal Muscles
Which intercostal muscles depress the rib cage important for forced expiration?
Internal Intercostal Muscles
These intercostal muscles originate from the sternum and insert on the cartilage of ribs 2-6?
Transverse Thoracis (Depress the ribs)
Name the muscles of Inhalation?
Sternocleidomastoid
Scalene
External Intercostal
Diaphragm
Name the muscles of Exhalation?
Internal Intercostal External Oblique Internal Oblique Transversus abdominis Rectus Abdominis
These intercostal muscles bride two intercostal spaces?
Subcostal
Which nerves supply the thoracic wall?
Thoracic Spinal Nerves: 12 Pairs
What do the Thoracic Spinal Nerves do upon leaving the Intervertebral Foramina?
Divide: Anterior Rami and Posterior Rami
The Anterior rami of nerves T1-T11 form what?
Intercostal Nerves
The Posterior rami supply what?
Joints, Muscles, and Skin of the back in the thoracic region
The intercostal muscles are innervated by what?
Segmental Intercostal Nerves
The Serratus Anterior Muscle is innervated by what?
Brachial Plexus (Long Thoracic Nerve)
The entire motor supply for the diaphragm is provided by which nerve?
Phrenic Nerve (R and L provides for half of diaphragm)
The Phrenic Nerve also supplies what for the diaphragm?
Sensory Fibers (Pain and Proprioception)
