Q

What is the superior and inferior attachments of the intercostal muscles (external, internal, innermost)

A

Superior = inferior border of ribs

Inferior = superior border of ribs below

19
Q

What nerve innervates the intercostals?

A

Intercostal nerve

20
Q

What is the main action of the intercostals (hint: 2 have the same action)

A

External intercostal: during forced inspiration: elevate ribs

Internal & innermost intercostal: During forced respiration, interosses part depresses rib, interchondral part elevates ribs

21
Q

What is the superior and inferior attachment of the subcostal muscles and what is the action?

A

Superior = internal surface of lower ribs near angle

Inferior = superior border of 2nd or 3rd rib below

Action: act the same as internal intercostal muscles

22
Q

What are these two muscles, what are there superior and inferior attachments?

A

Serratus posterior superior & serratus posterior inferior

Superior attachement: Superior = nuchal ligament, spinous process of c7-T3, Inferior = inferior border of ribs 8-12 near angle

Inferior attachment: Superior = superior border of 2nd and 4th ribs, Inferior = spinous process of T11-L2 vertebrae

23
Q

What is the innervation and action of serratus posterior superior and serratus posterior inferior?

A

Innervation: Superior = 2-5th intercostal nerves, Inferior = 9-11 intercostal nerves, subcostal nerve

Action: Superior = elevate ribs, Inferior = depresses ribs

24
Q

What is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of rectus abdominis?

A

Proximal = pubic symphysis and pubic crest

Distal = Xiphoid process, 5-7th costal cartilages

Innervation = Thoracoabdominal and sub-costal nerves

Action = flex trunk, compress abdominal viscera, stabilizes and controls tilt of pelvis

25
Q

What are the origin and insertions of the 3 oblique muscles?

A

External: Origin = external surface of 5-12th ribs, Insertion = linea alba, pubic tubercle, anterior half of iliac crest

Internal: Origin = Thoracolumbar fascia, anterior iliac crest, connective tissue deep to inguinal ligament, Insertion = Inferior border 10-12 ribs, linea alba, pubis via conjoint tendon

Transverse (abdominis): Origin = internal surface 7-12 costal cartilidge, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crestand connective tissue deep to inguinal ligament, Insertion = lineal alba w/ aponeruosis of internal oblique, pubic crest, pubis via conjoint tendon

26
Q

What is the innervation of the 3 oblique muscles?

A

External: Thoracoabdominal nerves and subcostal nerve

Internal and Transverse: Thoracoabdominal, subcostal and first lumbar nerves

27
Q

What is the action of the 3 obliques?

A

External and Internal: Compress and support abdominal viscera; flex and rotate trunk

Transverse: compress and support abdominal viscera

28
Q

Label the muscles, nerves, and blood flow of this cross section.

A
29
Q

What are the three posterior wall muscles? What are there superior and inferior attachments?

A

Psoas major: Superior = transverse process of lumbar vertebrae; sides of bodies of T12-S1 vertebrae and intervening IV discs, Inferior = Strong tendon to lesser trochanter of femur

Illiacus: Superior = superior two-thirds of iliac fossa, ala of sacrum, anterior sacroiliac ligaments, Inferior = lesser trochanter of femur and shaft inferior to it, psoas major tendon

Quadratus lumborum: Superior = medial of inferior border of 12th rib and tips of lumbar transverse process, Inferior = iliolumbar ligament, internal lip of iliac crest

30
Q

What is the innervation of Psoas major, iliacus and quadratus lumborum?

A

Psoas major: lumbar plexus via anterior branches of L2-L4

Iliacus: femoral nerve

Quadratus lumborum: anterior branches of T12 and L1-L4 nerves

31
Q

What is the action of psoas major, iliacus, and quadratus lumborum?

A

Psoas major: flexes thigh, flexes vertebral column, laterally balance trunk, while sitting; w/ iliacus to flex trunk

Iliacus: flex thigh, stablize hip joint, acts w/ psoas major

Quadratus lumborum: extends and laterally flex vertebral column; fixes 12th rib during inspiration

32
Q

Label the structures in this image.

A
33
Q

Where does the diaphragm attach? What are the sensory and motor nerves it is innervated by?

A

Inferior margin of thoracic cage superior to lumbar vertebrae

Phrenic nerve (motor), subcostal (sensory)

34
Q

What is the superficial muscle of the spinal column, where is it located, what is its action?

A

Splenius: Acting alone = laterally flex neck and rotate head to the side of active muscles, Acting together = extend head and neck

35
Q

What are the 3 muscles comprised of the intermediate layer of the spinal column and what is there action?

A

Iliocostalis, Longissimus, Spinalis

Action: Bilateral = extend vertebral column, and head as back is flexed, control movement by gradually lengthening fibers Unilateral = laterally flex column

36
Q

What are the deep muscle layers of the intrinsic back?

A

Semispinalis (capitis, cervicis, and thoracis)

Multifundis

Rotares (brevis and longus)

37
Q

What are the actions of the deep muscle of the intrinsic back?

A

Semispinalis: extends head and thoracic and cervical regions of vertebral column and rotates them contralaterally

Multifundus: Unilateral contraction = rotates contralateral side; stabilizes vertebrae during the local movements of vertebral column

Rotatores: stabilize vertebrae and assist w/ local extension and rotary movements of vertebral column

38
Q

What are these 3 muscles of the deep layer of the intrinsic back and their actions?

A

Interspinalis: Aid in extension and rotation of vertebral column

Intertransverssi: aid in lateral flexion of vertebral column, acting bilaterally, stabilize vertebral column

Levatores costarum: elevate ribs, assisting respiration; assist w/ lateral flexion of vertebral column

39
