gross 1- back Flashcards
3 muscle groups of the back
superficial
intermediate
deep
superficial back muscles
anchor upper limp to axial skeleton
intermediate back muscles
assists in respiration
deep back muscles
maintain posture, act on vertebral column (raise and lower spine)
extrinsic muscles
superficial and intermediate
intrinsic
deep
what are the superficial back muscles
trapezius
latissimus dorsi
levator scapulae
rhomboid major and minor
what are the intermediate back muscles
serratus posterior superior
serratus posterior inferior
what are the deep back muscles
semispinalis capitis
splenius capitis
spelnius cervicis
erector spinae
innervation of superficial and intermediate back muscles
ventral rami
innervation of deep back muscles
dorsal rami
clinical notes of dorsal rami
- deep back muscles receive innervations segmentally
- overlap- loss of 1 or 2 rami will not produce clinical symptoms
- nerves do NOT cross midline (ipsilateral)
origin of trapezius
- superior nuchal line
- nuchal ligament
- C7-T12 spinous process
insertion of trapezius
- lateral part of clavicle
- acromion and spine of scapula
action of trapezius
- elevates
- depresses
- retracts scapula
S of trapezius
- accessory nerve (Xll)
- transverse cervical vessels
accessory nerve path
runs deep to muscle, posterioinferiorly from jugular foramen.
