MS1 Musculature of the Back- Intrinsic Flashcards
What do the intrinsic back muscles act on
the vertebral column and skull
What are intrinsic back muscles innervated by
posterior rami of spinal nerves
What covers the deep muscles of the back
thoracolumbar fascia
What superficial back muscle will attach to thoracolumbar fascia
latissimus dorsi
What muscles are covered by thoracolumbar fascia
intrinsic back muscles
What are the attachments of the thoracolumbar fascia
Superior: continuous with deep fascia of the neck
Inferior: lower border of Rib 12 and iliac crest
Medial: spinous and transverse processes
Lateral: angles of ribs and lateral abdominal wall muscles
What are the three layers of thoracolumbar fascia
anterior
middle
posterior
Where do the three layers of thoracolumbar fascia terminate
terminate at attachment of transversus abdominus muscle
Describe the location of the posterior layer of thoracolumbar fascia
most superficial
What is the function of the posterior layer of thoracolumbar fascia
covers deep muscles of the back
What is the function of the middle layer of the thoracolumbar fascia
separates deep back muscles from posterior abdominal wall
What is the function of the anterior layer of thoracolumbar fascia
separates abdominal cavity from posterior abdominal wall
How many layers are there of deep muscles
3

What is the unilateral action of the Spinotransversales
rotate to ipsilateral side, lateral flexion
What is the bilateral action of the spinotransversales msucles
extension of the head and neck
What is the blood supply to the Spinotransversales muscles
Occipital and segmental arteries (come out at every level and supply body wall)

Where is the distal insertion of iliocostalis
ribs
Where is the proximal origin of longissimus
ileum, sacrum, lumbar
Where is the distal insertion of longissimus
mastoid process and transverse process
