Gross Anatomy- Assessment 1 Flashcards
where do intrinsic back muscles come from?
epimere of somite
where do extrinsic back muscles come from?
hypomere of somite
how are vertebra formed?
caudal and cranial aspects of somites fuse
muscles come out of the somites as well
what makes intrinsic back muscles intrinsic? what is the innervation?
attach to the spinal column only and primary movers of spinal column
primary posterior rami
what makes extrinsic back muscles extrinsic? what is the innervation?
attach to spinal column and upper limb and move the upper limb
primary anterior rami
Name the intrinsic back muscles
erector spinae - iliocostal (lateral) -logissimus (middle) -spinalis (medial) transversospinalis muscles - semispinalis -rotatores -multifidus splenius
boarders of the suboccipital triangle
medial- rectus capitis superior major
- rectus capitis superior minor is medial to it
lateral- obliquus capitis superior
inferior- obliquus capitis inferior
what innervates the muscles in the suboccipital triangle?
suboccipital nerve- dorsal ramus of C1
what is special about the vertebral artery?
atherosclerosis can result in dizziness
what arteries and nerves are involved in the suboccipital triangle?
suboccipital nerve- dorsal ramus of C1- inside triangle
greater occipital nerve- dorsal ramus if C2- passes inferior to the triangle, goes to skin
vertebral artery- inside the triangle
where is the suboccipital triangle?
centered over the posterior arch of the atlas
where is the lesser occipital nerve?
comes out medially to sternocleidomastoid muscle and then travels posterior to it up into the head
where is the occipital artery?
comes out lateral to nuchal ligament at superior nuchal line of the skull
what are the boarders of the triangle of auscultation?
medial- trapezius
lateral inferior- latissimus dorsi
lateral superior- fascia of scapular muscles
what is spin bifida occulta?
incomplete formation of the mural arch, lamina does not reach spinous process
hair tuft above misformed vertebra
prevented by folic acid
what travels through the transverse foramen?
vertebral artery
which spinal level has transverse foramen?
cervical
which vertebra is the dens on?
C2 axis
which vertebra supports the skull?
C1 atlas
articular facets in the thoracic region allow for which kind of bending?
lateral bending- facets face anteriorly (inferior) and posteriorly (superior)
articular facets in the lumbar region allow for which kind of bending?
flexion and extension- facets face medially (superior) and laterally (inferior)
unique features of cervical vertebra
small vertebral bodies

round vertebral foramen
costal facets
unique features of lumbar vertebra
large, kidney shaped vertebral bodies
