Origins, Insertions, Actions Flashcards
Erector Spinae group includes what? and what is their common actions?
Spinalis, Longissimus, Iliocostalis.
Common action unilaterally: laterally flex vertebral column. Bilaterally: Extend the vertebral column
SPINalis thoracis
O: spinous processes of the upper lumbar and lower thoracic vertebrae
I: spinous processes of upper thoracic
A: common erector spinae G action (uni:laterally flex, bilat: extend vert column)
longissimus thoracis
O: common tendon (thoracolumbar aponeurosis) that attaches to the posterior surface of sacrum, iliac crest, spinous processes of lumbar and last two thoracic vertebrae
I: lower nine ribs and transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae.
A: common erector spinae G action (uni: laterally flex, bilat: extend vert column
iliocostalis lumborum
O: CT thoracolumbar aponeurosis that attaches to the posterior surface of sacrum, iliac crest, and spinous processes of lumbar and last two thoracic vertebrae
I: transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae 1-3 and posterior surface of ribs 6-12
A: Common action of Erec Spin G: uni-lat flex vert, bilat-extend vert
iliocostalis thoracis
O: posterior surface of ribs 1-12
I: posterior surface of ribs 1-6
A: common action of erec spinae g
Transversospinalis group includes:
multifidi, rotatores (both have same action: uni- rotate vert column to OPPOSITE side, bilat- extend vert col), and semispinalis capitis (SC not listed)
multifidi
O: sacrum and transverse processes of lumbar through cervical vertebrae
I: spinous processes of lumbar vertebrae through second cervical vertebrae
A: common m & r action= uni- rotate vert col to opposite side, bilat- extend the vert column
rotatores
O: transverse processes of lumbar through cervical vertebrae
I: spinous processes of lumbar vertebrae through second cervical vert
A: uni: rotate vert column to opposite side, bilat-extend vert columm
quadratus lumborum
know its deepest muscle of abdomen (not back)
O: posterior iliac crest
I: last rib and transverse process of first through fourth lumbar vertebrae
A: Unilat= -laterally tilt the pelvis
-laterally flex vert column to same side
-assist to extend the vert column
Bilat= fix the last rib during forced inhalation and exhal
abdominals group includes
rectus abdominis, ext/int oblique, transverse abd
rectus abdominis
O: pubic crest, pubic symphysis
I:cartilage of fifth, sixth and seventh ribs and xiphiod process
A: flex the vertebral column, tilt pelvis posteriorly
external oblique
O: external surfaces of 5th to 12th ribs
I: anterior part of iliac crest, abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
A: uni= - laterally flex vertebral column to the same side,
- rotate vert column to the OPPOSITE side
Bilat= -flex vert column
-compress abdominal contents
internal oblique
O: lateral inguinal ligament, iliac crest and thoracolumbar fascia
I: internal surface of lower three ribs, abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
A: uni= - laterally flex vert column to same side
-rotate the vert column to the SAME side
bilat= -flex the vert col
-compress abdominal contents
transverse abdominis
O: lateral inguinal ligament, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia and internal surface of lower six ribs
I: abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
A: COMPRESS abdominal contents.
diaphragm***
O: (3 attach.) inner surface of lower six ribs, upper 2 or 3 lumbar vert, inner part of xiphoid process
I: central tendon
A: - Draw down the central tendon of the diaphragm
- increase the volume of the thoracic cavity during inhalation
pelvic floor
formed by two levator ani and two coccygeus muscles and surrounding fascia. It supports the abdominal and pelvic viscera, such as sigmoid colon and rectum
