Grouped Muscle Actions Flashcards
Intrinsic back muscles
Splenius capitis Splenius cervicis Semispinalis capitis Erector spinae- bilaterally extend spine or flex unilaterally *Innervated by Dorsal rami*
Bilateral Head Extensors
Semispinalis Capitis - deeper and directed vertically
Splenius capitis - above semisplinalis and directed more laterally
Splenius cervicis - more lateral to the splenius capitis
Splenius muscles innervated by Dorsal Rami C1-6
Semispinalis innervated by Dorsal Rami C4-8
