what innervates the trapezius
a cranial nerve
what is the function of extrinsic back muscles
move the limbs
what is the function of intrinsic back muscles
move the spine
what innervates the intrinsic back muscles
-epaxial
-dorsal rami of spinal nerves
what are the extrinsic back muscles from superficial to deep
trapezius, latissimus dorsi, levator scapulae, rhomboid minor, rhomboid major, serratus posterior superior, serratus posterior inferior
what are the intrinsic back muscles from superficial to deep
iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis, multifidus, semispinalis, rotatores
what muscles make up the erector spinae groupe

what muscles make up the transversospinalis group
multifidus, semispinalis, rotatores
what is the role of the erector spinae group of muscles
keeps the spine erect and extends the spine
what is the role of the transversospinalis group
keeps the spine in line laterally
what does the dorsal ramus innervate
intrinsic back muscles and skin of the back
what does the ventral ramus innervate
