A
  • Interspinales
  • Intertransversarii
  • Levatores costarum
33
Q

Rotation of vertebral column is primarily done by…

A

O - TP of C7-T11
I - Upper margin of rib
A - Elevate ribs

36
Q

The occipital triangle is formed by…

A
  1. Obliquus capitis superior
  2. Obliquus capitis inferior
  3. Rectus capitis posterior major
37
Q

What are 3 contents of the sub-occipital triangle

A
  1. Vertebral artery
  2. Greater occipital nerve (C2)
  3. Sub-occipital nerve (C1)
38
Q

How does the sub-occipital triangle relate to headaches

A

The vertebral artery lies right inside i. any muscles could compress the artery if they spasm and cause significant changes in blood pressure inside cranium
