Muscles of Back Region Flashcards
erector spinae origin
iliac crest, sacrum, transverse and spinous processes of vertebrae and supraspinal ligament
erector spinae insertion
angles of the ribs (illiocostalis), transverse and spinous processes of vertebrae (longissiums), posterior aspect of the skull (spinalis)
erector spinae action
extends and laterally bends the trunk, neck and head
erector spinae innervention
segmentally innervated by dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves C1-S5
erector spinae artery
supplied segmentally by: deep cervical a., posterior intercostal aa., subcostal aa., lumbar aa.
erector spinae notes
the erector spinae m. is separated into 3 columns of muscle: iliocostalis laterally, longissimus in an intermediate position and spinalis medially; each of these columns has multiple named parts
iliocostalis origin
iliac crest and sacrum
iliocostalis insertion
angles of the ribs
iliocostalis action
extends and laterally bends the trunk and neck
iliocostalis innervation
dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves C4-S5
iliocostalis artery
supplied segmentally by: deep cervical a., posterior intercostal aa., subcostal aa., lumbar aa.
iliocostalis notes
the most lateral part of the erector spinae; it may be subdivided into lumborum, thoracis and cervicis portions
interspinales origin
upper border of spinous process
interspinales insertion
lower border of spinous process above
interspinales action
extend trunk and neck
interspinales innervation
dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves C1-L5
interspinales artery
supplied segmentally by: deep cervical a., posterior intercostal aa., subcostal aa., lumbar aa.
interspinales notes
these are small and fairly insignificant muscles
intertransversarii origin
upper border of transverse process
intertransversarii insertion
lower border of transverse process above
intertransversarii action
laterally bend trunk and neck
intertransversarii innervation
dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves C1-L5
intertransversarii artery
supplied segmentally by: deep cervical a., posterior intercostal aa., subcostal aa., lumbar aa.
intertransversarii notes
these are small and fairly insignificant muscles
longissimus origin
transverse process at inferior vertebral levels
longissimus insertion
transverse process at superior vertebral levels and mastoid process
longissimus action
extends and laterally bends the trunk, neck and head
longissimus innervation
dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves C1-S1
longissimus artery
supplied segmentally by: deep cervical a., posterior intercostal aa., subcostal aa., lumbar aa.
longissimus notes
the intermediate part of the erector spinae;it may be subdivided into thoracis, cervicis and capitis portions
multifidus origin
sacrum, transverse processes of C3-L5
multifidus insertion
spinous processes 2-4 vertebral levels superior to their origin
multifidus action
extend and laterally bend trunk and neck, rotate to opposite side
