Module 4B: Axial Skeletal Muscles Flashcards
what do axial muscles attach to?
the axial skeleton
- some have their impact on limbs in the appendicular skeleton
what is the one large muscle on the neck?
the sternocleidomastoid
what is the origin of the sternocleidomastoid?
- clavicle
- sternum (point of manubrium)
what is the insertion of the sternocleidomastoid?
mastoid process of the temporal bone
what is the actions of the sternocleidomastoid?
- lateral flexion of the head and neck
- rotation of head
what contracts both the left and right sternocleidomastoid?
moving your head to your chin
what are the three muscles that comprise the erector spinae muscle group from medial to lateral? (trunk muscles)
medial: spinalis
- longissimus
lateral: iliocostalis
what are your postural/standing up muscles? (control movement of the vertebral coloumn)
- spinalis
- longissimus
- iliocostalis
where is the origins of the erector spinae muscle group?
- iliac crest
- sacrum
- lumbar and lower thoracic spinous processes
what is the insertions of the erector spinae muscle group?
- ribs
- transverse/spinous processes of cervical/thoracic vertebrae
what is the actions of the erector spinae muscle group?
- back extension (if you contract the left and right group together)
- lateral flexion of back (only one side contracts)
what are the thoracis and lumborum parts of the trunk muscles important for?
because they behave more regionally vs by the actual muscle
what are your pars lumborum?
- iliocostalis lumborum
- longissimus lumborum
- spinalis lumborum
what are your pars thoracis?
- iliocostalis thoracis
- longissimus thoracis
- spinalis thoracis
what are the differences between the pars thoracis vs pars lumborum?
- have different lines of action
- different lengths of tendons so they can act to support the trunk by keeping upright posture and resisting the forward movement of the trunk when you tip or bend your trunk forward
which portion of the trunk muscles have the greatest mechanical advantage? why?
- the pars thoracis portions of the muscles
- due to having the longest “moment arms”??? i cant understand what she said
when is the pars thoracis and pars lumborum system that supports the spine only functioning?
if you keep a neutral lordotic curve in your spine
where is the quadratus lumborum?
- a deep trunk muscle (deep to the abdominal muscles that wrap around the torso as well as the erector spinae muscles)
- squarish shape
what is the origin of the quadratus lumborum?
the iliac crest
what are the insertions of the quadratus lumborum?
- inferior border of rib 12
- L1-L4
what is the action of the quadratus lumborum?
- lateral flexion of back (only if it contracted only on one side)
- very strong muscle
- back extension if both sides are contracted
- will also help to stabilize the pelvis if the trunk is stationary
what does intercostal mean?
between ribs
what muscle group is the internal and external intercostals part of?
the thorax muscle
how many layers are there of intercostal muscles
three layers
where does the external intercostal muscles run?
external thorax
- run down, medial and forward from the rib to the rib below
where does the internal and innermost intercostals muscle run?
internal thorax
- they run up, medial and back from the rib below to the rib above
what muscles are involved in respiration?
the thorax muscles
what is the AIO of the external intercostals?
A- inspiration (acts lifts the ribs when you breath) (pulls up on the bottom rib to the top rib)
I - rib below
O- rib above
what is the AIO of the internal and the innermost intercostals?
A- expiration (act to lower ribs when you take a breath out) (when you contract muscles, you pull down on the top rib toward the bottom rib to help with expiration)
I- rib above
O- rib below
