Intrinsic Muscles Of Axial Skeleton Flashcards
Origin of INTERCOSTALES
INTERNAL and EXTERNAL INTERCOSTALES - cranial borders of the ribs
Insertion of INTERCOSTALES
INTERNAL INTERCOSTALES - caudal borders of preceding ribs and cartilage
EXTERNAL INTERCOSTALES - cranial borders and lateral surfaces of succeeding ribs
Innervation of INTERCOSTALES
Intercostal nerves
Action of INTERCOSTALES
Support rib cage and aid respiration
Origin of LEVATOR COSTARUM
Transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae
Insertion of LEVATOR COSTARUM
Lateral surface of proximal ends of ribs 2-17
Innervation of LEVATOR COSTARUM
Intercostal nerve
Action of LEVATOR COSTARUM
Pull ribs cranially, aiding with respiration
Origin of RECTUS CAPITIS VENTRALIS
Ventral arch of Atlas
Insertion of RECTUS CAPITIS VENTRALIS
Two basilar tubercles on base of skull at junction of basioccipital bone and sphenoid body
Innervation of RECTUS CAPITIS VENTRALIS
Ventral branch of C1 nerve
Action of RECTUS CAPITIS VENTRALIS
Flexes atlanto-occipital joint, or (when used unilaterally) inclines head towards contracted side
Origin of RECTUS CAPITIS LATERALIS
Ventral arch of Atlas
Insertion of RECTUS CAPITIS LATERALIS
Paracondylar process of occipital bone
Innervation of RECTUS CAPITIS LATERALIS
Ventral branch of C1 nerve
Action of RECTUS CAPITIS LATERALIS
Flexes Atlanto-occipital joint, and (when contracted unilaterally) inclines head to side of contraction
Origin of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MINOR
Dorsal tubercle of atlas
Insertion of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MINOR
occipital bone
Innervation of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MINOR
Dorsal branch of C1 nerve
Action of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MINOR
Assists RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MAJOR to extend the head
Origin of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MAJOR
Dorsal edge of spinous process of Axis
Insertion of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MAJOR
Nuchal crest
Innervation of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MAJOR
Dorsal branch of C1 nerve
Action of RECTUS CAPITIS DORSALIS MAJOR
Extends the head
Origin Of MULTIFIDUS CERVICIS
Articulate processes of the last 4-5 Cervical vertebrae and T1
Insertion of MULTIFIDUS CERVICIS
Spinous process and articulate process of the more cranial vertebrae
Innervation of MULTIFIDUS CERVICIS
Dorsal branches of C2-C7
Action of MULTIFIDUS CERVICIS
Spinal stabiliser. Extend the neck. Unilateral contraction twists neck towards side of contraction
Origin of MULTIFIDUS THORACIS ET LUMBORUM
Articular processes of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae
Insertion of MULTIFIDUS THORACIS ET LUMBORUM
Normally insert on summits of spinous processes or preceding vertebrae. First 8 T vertebrae: inserts on side of spinous processes
Inner action of MULTIFIDUS THORACIS ET LUMBORUM
Dorsal branches of thoracic and lumbar nerves
Action of MULTIFIDUS THORACIS ET LUMBORUM
Spinal stabiliser. Aid in extension and lateral flexion of spinal column
Origin of OBLIQUUS CAPITIS CRANIALIS
Entire cranial edge and adjacent ventral surface of the wing of atlas
Insertion of OBLIQUUS CAPITIS CRANIALIS
Nuchal crest of occipital bone
Innervation of OBLIQUUS CAPITIS CRANIALIS
Dorsal branch of C1 nerve
Action of OBLIQUUS CAPITIS CRANIALIS
Extend atlanto-occipital joint
Origin of OBLIQUUS CAPITIS CAUDALIS
Lateral surface of spinous processes and Articular processes of axis
Insertion of OBLIQUUS CAPITIS CAUDALIS
Dorsal surface of wing of atlas
