Q

Serratus anterior

A

Origin: ribs 1-9
Insertion: anterior medial border of scapula
Function: prime mover for protraction of scapula, stabilizes scapula against chest wall (if paralyzed, scapula will be unstable and 7-8 other muscles that depend on scapula will also lose function)
Nerve: long thoracic nerve of brachial plexus (close to breast gland)

17
Q

Intercostal muscles

A

Muscles between adjacent ribs
3 layers (from superficial to deep): external intercostal, internal intercostal, innermost intercostal
Function: helps with respiration by increasing/decreasing thoracic cavity volume during inhalation and exhalation
Nerve: intercostal nerves

18
Q

Diaphragm

A

Origin: xiphoid process, lower 6 ribs, lumbar vertebrae
Insertion: central tendon (dense connective tissue in the centre)
Function: increase volume and decrease pressure of chest (decrease volume and increase pressure of abdomen) for breathing, using the bathroom, coughing, sneezing
Nerve: phrenic nerve of cervical plexus
*if not well developed during embryonic stage, some abdominal organs may herniate from diaphragm to chest

19
Q

Major openings in the diaphragm

A 
Inferior vena cava opening (TVIII)
Esophageal hiatus (TX)
Aortic opening (TXII)
20
Q

Muscles of abdomen

A

2 group:
Anterolateral - flexes and rotates trunk, increases abdominal cavity pressure
Posterior - extends and laterally flexes trunk, or flexes and lateral rotates the hip

21
Q

External oblique

A 
Most superficial
Origin: lower ribs and hip bone
Insertion: linea alba
Function: contralateral rotation of trunk
Nerve: lower intercostal nerve
**Origin moves towards the insertion
22
Q

Internal oblique

A

Origin: hip bone and inguinal ligament
Insertion: linea alba and lower rips
Function: ipsilateral rotation of trunk
Nerve: lower intercostal nerves

23
Q

Transversus abdominis

A

Origin: hip and lower ribs
Insertion: linea alba
Function: compresses abdominal viscera and increasing abdominal pressure to help the diaphragm
Nerve: lower intercostal nerves

24
Q

Rectus abdominis

A

Origin: pubic bone
Insertion: xiphoid process of sternum, and ribs 5-7
Function: flexion of trunk
Nerve: lower intercostal nerves
Has horizontal bands = tendinous intersection to divide it into smaller segments (determines how many packs we have)

25
Q

Aponeurosis

A

Sheet like tendon that attaches anterolateral abdominal muscles to insertion

26
Q

Inguinal ligament

A

Inferior border of aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique
Stretched between anterior superior iliac spine and pubic tubercle

27
Q

Rectus sheath

A

Fibrous sheath by aponeurosis of external, internal, and transverse abdominis muscle
Almost completely invests rectus abdominis muscle

28
Q

Linea alba

A

Dense connective tissue by union of aponeuroses of anterolateral abdominal muscles in midline
Between xiphoid process and pubic symphysis

29
Q

Inguinal canal

A

Short oblique canal above medial half of inguinal ligament
Between external, internal and transverses abdominis muscles
Has 2 openings: deep and superficial inguinal rings
Contains spermatic cord (males) or round ligament of uterus (females)

30
Q

Muscles of pelvis

A

Classified as pelvic wall muscles, pelvic diaphragm, perineal muscles

31
Q

Pelvic wall muscles

A

Piriformis
Obturator interns
Originate in pelvic cavity, insert to femur

32
Q

Pelvic diaphragm

A

Levator ani
Coccygeus muslces
Form funnel shaped membrane between true pelvis and perineum
Supports pelvic viscera (uterus, rectum, bladder)

33
Q

Levator ani

A

Origin: inner surface of hip bone
Insertion: anterior fibers merge with the opposite side, posterior fibers insert to sacrum and coccyx
Forms muscular bulb
Function: supports weight of pelvic viscera
Nerve: branch of sacral plexus

34
Q

Coccygeus

A

Origin: ischial spine
Insertion: coccyx, sacrum
Function: supports weight of pelvic viscera
Nerve: branch of sacral plexus

35
Q

Weak point of pelvic diaphragm

A

Anterior part of the floor where 3 structures pass through (from anterior to posterior): urethra, vaginal canal, anal canal
All very close to each other

36
Q

Prolapsis

A

Some pelvic viscera may displace inferiorly though pelvic diaphragm
Mainly in females after child birth
Muscle fibers are not replaced, instead you get dense connective tissue that is plastic instead of elastic

37
Q

Perineal muscles

A

Contained within perineum (between coccyx, pubic symphysis, ischial tuberosities)
Reinforces pelvic diaphragm immediately
below the weakest point
Nerve: pudendal nerve of sacral plexus
*Damage = increased chance of UTI, no erectionn, loss of control of urination/defecation

38
Q

Urogenital triangle

A

Contains distal part of urethra, external genitalia, perineal muscles (except anal sphincter)
Contains bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus

39
Q

Bulbospongiosus

A

Drains last drops of urine, joined at midline to cover base of penis (male)
Sphincter for vaginal opening, surround vagina (does not join) (female)
Nerve: pudendal nerve of sacral plexus

40
Q

Ischiocavernosus

A

Maintains erection of penis or clitoris

Nerve: pudendal nerve of sacral plexus

41
Q

Anal triangle

A

Contains anal canal surrounded by external anal sphincter

42
Q

External anal sphincter

A

Controls passage of fecal material

Nerve: pudendal nerve of sacral plexus
