Q

what nerve innervates the erector spinae?

A

dorsal rami of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerve

16
Q

what actions do the erector spinae do?

A

unilateral - lateral flexion to same side

17
Q

what is the name of the deep intrinsic back muscles?

A

transverospinal muscles

18
Q

what muscles make up the transverospinal muscles? superficial to deep

A

semispinalis
multifidus
rotatores

19
Q

how do the fibers of the semispinalis extend?

A

several vertebral levels superior

20
Q

how do the fibers of the multifidus extend?

A

about four vertebral levels superior

21
Q

how do the fibers of the rotatores extend?

A

one vertebral level superior

22
Q

what nerve supplies the transverospinal muscles?

A

segmental dorsal rami

23
Q

what actions do the transverospinal muscles do? which one is special? why?

A

extension of vertebral column
rotation
rotatores assist in rotation.
rotation is the opposite of contraction.
