Lecture 8 Flashcards
What are the 5 main functions of core muscles
Balance/posture, Valsalva, proprioception, respiration, circulation
Where is the erector spinae Spinalis located
Interconnects thoracic and cervical spinous processes. most medial of the erector spinae
Where is the erector spinae Longissimus located
Inserts onto TVP and angles of ribs (capitis protion inserts onto mastoid process) Middle of erector spinae
Where is the erector spinae Iliocostalis located
From the iliac crest up to the ribs. Most lateral of erector spinae
Where is the semispinalis located
In the upper 1/2 of the vertebral column, they span 5-8 vertebrae from SP to TVP
Where is the multifidus located
They span 3-4 vertebrae from SP to TVP and is thickest over sacrum
Where are the rotatores located
They span 1-2 vertebrae SP to TVP throughout the spine
Where are the intertransverse and interspinous muscles located
They span TVP to TVP and SP to SP, respectively
Where is the splenius capitis located
Origin: Lower portion of nuchal ligament and SP C3-T3
Insertion: Superior nuchal line and mastoid processes
Where is the splenius cervicis located
Origin: SP T3-T6
Insertion: TVP C2-C4
What is the action of the Splenius
Acting bilaterally they extend the head and neck. unilaterally, they rotate and laterally bend head and neck.
What is the action of the erector spinae muscles
Bilaterally: stabilize and extend vertebral column
Unilaterally: ipsilaterally side-bend and rotate vertebral column
What is the action of the transversospinalis muscles
Bilaterally: extend vertebral column and maintain posture
unilaterally: side bending of the vertebral column
What is the action of the rotatores
They only help rotate vertebral segments because they are too short to do anything else
What is the innervation of the deep back muscles
Posterior rami of spinal nerves
What is the origin, insertion, and action of the inferior oblique
O: Spine of axis
I: TVP of Atlas
A: ipsilateral rotation of the head
What is the origin, insertion, and action of the superior oblique
O: TVP of atlas
I: Occiput
A: Extend head
What is the origin, insertion, and action of the rectus capitis posterior major
O: Spine of axis
I: Occiput
A: Extend and rotate head
What is the origin, insertion, and action of the rectus capitis posterior minor
O: Posterior tubercle of atlas
I: Occiput
A: Extend head
What is the innervation of the suboccipital muscles
Posterior ramus of C1 (a purely motor nerve)
What is the origin, insertion, and action of the rectus capitis anterior and lateralis
O: Atlas TVP
I: occiput
A: flex and laterally flex head, stabilize atlanto occipital joint
What is the origin, insertion, and action of the longus colli and capitis
O: Lower cervical bodies and TVP’s
I: Upper cervical bodies, TVP’s, and the occiput
A: flex head, neck
What is the innervation of anterior neck muscles
C1-4
