Muscle Origin/Insertion/Nerve/Blood Supply Flashcards
What do extrinsic muscles of the back do?
Superficial group: movements of the upper limb.
Intermediate group consists of muscles attached to the ribs and may serve a respiratory function.
What do intrinsic muscles of the back do?
Maintain posture and move the vertebral column and head; movements include extension, lateral flexion, and rotation
If there is not much mobility between each vertebra, how does the vertebral column allow for such extensive motion?
Movement is additive
How is back musculature divided?
Superficial, intermediate and deep
What muscle groups within the back are extrinsic?
Superficial and intermediate
What innervation supplies the extrinsic muscles of the back?
Anterior rami of spinal nerves
What innervation supplies the intrinsic muscles of the back?
Posterior rami of the spinal nerves
What parts of the skeleton do superficial muscles attach?
Superior part of appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton
What is the origin of the trapezius muscles?
Descending: Superior occipital nuchae and ligamentum nuchae, and spinous process of C1-C7
Transverse: Spinous processes of T1-T4
Ascending: Spinous processes T5-T12
What is the insertion of the trapezius muscles?
Descending: Lateral one third of the clavicle
Transverse: medial side of the acromion
Ascending: upper crest of the scapular spine
How many muscle sections make up the trapezoid muscle?
6- 2 Descending, 2 transverse, 2 ascending
What motor nerve innervates the trapezius muscles?
anterior rami of accessory nerve XI
Where do proprioceptive fibres of the trapezius move through?
Move through cervical plexus to C3 and C4 vertebra
Where is blood supply to the trapezius from?
Superficial branch of the transverse cervical artery
Acromial branch of the suprascapular artery
Dorsal branches of posterior intercostal arteries.
What movements does the trapezius muscle perform?
Assists in rotating the scapula during abduction of humerus above horizontal; upper fibers elevate, middle fibers adduct, and lower fibers depress scapula
What movements does the latissimus dorsi perform?
Extends, adducts, and medially rotates humerus
What is the origin of latissimus dorsi?
Spinous processes of T7 - L5 and sacrum, iliac crest, ribs 10-12
What is the insertion of latissimus dorsi?
Floor of intertubercular groove of humerus
What innervation supplies latissimus dorsi?
Thoracodorsal nerve (C6 to C8)
What is the origin of the Levator Scapula?
Transverse process of C1-C4
What is the insertion of the Levator Scapula?
Upper portion of medial border of scapula
What nerve(s) innervates the levator scapula?
C3-C4 and dorsal scapular nerve
What movements does the levator scapula perform?
Elevates scapula
What is the origin of Rhomboid Major?
Spinous process of T2-T5
