MS1 Musculature of the Back- Extrinsic Flashcards
What is a dermatome
region of skin supplied by 1 level of spinal nerves
What features are on the surface anatomy of the back?
External occipital protuberance Site of nuchal ligament Scapula Iliac crest Prominent spinous processes Muscles: trapezius, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, erector spinae, teres major
What are the extrinsic muscles of the back
Superficial and Intermediate muscles of the back
What functions doe the extrinsic muscles have
movement of upper limbs and scapula
movement of ribs
What are the extrinsic muscles innervated by
anterior rami
What are the superficial muscles of the back
trapezius latissimus dorsi rhomboid minor rhomboid major levator scapulae
What are the intermediate muscles of the back
serratus posterior superior
serratus posterior inferior
What is the proximal origin of the trapezius
spinous process of C7-12
What is the distal insertion of the trapezius
acromion
spine of the scapula
lateral 1/3 of the clavicle
What is the action of the trapezius
elevate and depress the scapula
retraction of scapula
abduction of upper limb above 90 degrees
What is the blood supply to trapezius
superficial branch of transverse cervical artery
What is the innervation of the trapezius for motor function
spinal acessory nerve (CN XI)
-thing SANd TRAP
What is the innervation of the trapezius for proprioception
C2, C3, and C4
What are the three portions of the trapezius
superior
middle
inferior
Where does the superior portion attach
external occipital protuberance, ligamentum nuchae, spinous process of C7
to
1/3 of clavicle/ acromium
Where does the middle portion of the trapezius attach
spinous process of T1-T5
to
medial border of acronium and lip of spine of scapula
Where do the inferior portion of the trapezius attach
T6-T12 spinous processes
to
tubercle of spine
What is the function of the anterior portion of the trapezius
elevate scapula
unilateral: flex and rotate head to opposite side
bilaterally, extend neck
lateral rotate upwards
What is the function of the middle portion of the trapezius
adduct scapula, bring closer to the spine
What is the function of the posterior portion of the trapezius
depress scapula, glide inferiorly
laterally rotate scapula upwards
