elevate scapula

21
Q

What is the neurovascular supply to levator scapulae?

A

C3 & C4
dorsal scapular n.

dorsal scapular vessels

22
Q

What is the action of the rhomboid group?

A

retract (adducts) and elevates scapula

23
Q

What is the neurovascular supply to rhomboid group?

A

dorsal scapular n.

dorsal scapular vessels.

24
Q

What vertebral levels does serratus posterior superior m. act on?

A

T2- T5

25
Q

What vertebral levels does serratus posterior inferior m. act on?

A

T9 - T12

26
Q

From lateral to medial, what are the three muscles of erector spinae?

A

Iliocostalis
Longissimus
Spinalis

27
Q

What is the action of splenius capitus m.?

A

bilaterally: draws head backward, extends neck
unilaterally: rotate head ipsilaterally

28
Q

What is the action of the spenius cervicis?

A

bilaterally: extend neck (does NOT draw head back)
unilaterally: rotate head ipsilaterally

29
Q

What is the innervation of the splenius capitus/cervicis?

A

posterior rami of the middle and lower cervical nn.

all deep muscles have same innervation

30
Q

What is the action of the semispinalis capitus?

A

bilaterally: extend vertebral column
unilaterally: rotate trunk contralaterally

31
Q

What are the borders of the occipital triangle?

A

laterally: olbliquus capitus sup.
medially/superiorly: rectus capitus major
inferiorly: obliquus capitus inf.

32
Q

What is the contents of the occipital triangle?

A

vertebral artery

C1 nerve

33
Q

What modality is C1?

A

ALL MOTOR

34
Q

Which muscle does the greater occipital n. (C2) pierce?

A

semispinalis capitus m.

35
Q

What happens if you injure C1?

A

can’t rotate your head very well bc obliquus capitus inf. will not work (main rotator of head) but you can still extend your head due to lots of other muscles

36
Q

What is the neurovascular supply to erector spinae m.?

A

dorsal rami of spinal nn.

lumber/intercostal vessels

37
Q

What is the action of multifidus m.?

A

laterally flexes and rotates spine

38
Q

What is the neurovascular supply to multifidus m.?

A

dorsal rami of spinal nn.

lumber/intercostal vessels

39
Q

What is the action of the rotatores m.?

A

unilaterally: rotate spine
bilaterally: extend vertebral column

40
Q

What is the neurovascular supply to rotatores m.?

A

dorsal rami of spinal nn.

lumber/intercostal vessels

41
Q

What are the minor deep muscles of the back?

A

interspinalis m.
intertranservarius m.
levatores costarum m.

42
Q

No cutaneous innervation crosses the midline

45
Q

What is the action of the serrates anterior m.?

A

protract scapula, holds to body wall

46
Q

What is the neurovascular supply of the serrates anterior m.?

A

long thoracic n.

lateral thoracic vessels

confusing–think loNg thoracic Nerve (both have n’s)
