Muscles of the Back: Intermediate and Deep Flashcards
intermediate muscles of the back?
serratus posterior inferior and superior
involved in respiration
innervation of intermediate back muscles?
ventral primary rami of thoracic spinal nerves
innervation of deep back muscles?
dorsal rami of spinal nerves
attachments of serratus posterior superior?
Origin:
-nuchal ligament and spinous processes of CV7-TV3
Insertion:
Posterior Surface of Ribs 2-5 lateral to angle
action of serratus posterior superior?
elevates ribs during inspiration
innervation of serratus posterior superior?
intercostal nerves T1-T4
attachments of serratus posterior inferior?
Origin:
spinous processes of TV11 - LV2
-via thoracolumbar fascia
Insertion: Posterior surface of Ribs 9-12 lateral to angle (like the lat)
actions of the serratus posterior inferior?
depresses four lower ribs allowing diaphragm to act during inspiration
innervation of serratus posterior inferior?
intercostal nerves T9-T11 and subcostal nerve
fascia for deep back?
nuchal fascia - cervical
thoracolumbar fascia - thorax and lumbar
**continuous with one another
splenius capitis et cervicis?
same origin
different insertions
attachment of splenius capitis?
Origin:
spinous process of CV7 and TV6
Insertion:
lateral portion of superior nuchal line
attachment of splenuis cervicis?
Origin:
spinous process of CV7 and TV6
Insertion:
posterior tubercles of transverse processes CV1-CV3
action of splenius capitis?
extend head
rotate and side bend head to same side
action of splenius cervicis?
extends and rotates neck to same side
also binds deeper muscle
innervation of splenius capitis et cervicis?
dorsal rami of C2-C5
**dorsal primary rami
erector spinae?
deep to superficial and intermediate muscles of back
-occupies the vertebral costal groove
attaches inferiorly to aponeurotic tendon
iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis
aponeurosis
broad tendon
what happens as the erector spinae ascends?
separates into three muscles (ILS)
three segments of iliocostalis?
lumborum, thoracis, cervicis
three segments of longissimus?
thoracis, cervicis, capitis
three segments of spinalis?
thoracis, cervicis, and capitis
**capitis usually blended with semispinalis (95%)
major action of erector spinae?
no rotation (longissimus capitis only a little)
**only extension of the spine and sidebending
stabilizers
attachment of iliocostalis?
Origin:
crest of ilium and sacrum
posterior surface of ribs at angle
Insertion:
angle of ribs, transverse processes of lower CV
