Skeletal Muscular System - Axial Flashcards
5 Superficial Back Muscles
Trapezius Latissimus Dorsi Rhomboid Minor Rhomboid Major Levator Scapulae
Trapezius Muscle
superficial back
Superficial back muscle
Innerviated by CNXI + cervical spinal nerves
3 Components: Ascending, Transverse, + Descending
Ascending Trapezius Muscle
superficial back
Origin: T4-T12
Insertion: upper crest +tubercle of scapular spine
depress scapula
Transverse Trapezius Muscle
superficial back
Origin: C7-T3
Insertion: acromion + spine of scapula
retracts scapula
Descending Trapezius Muscle
superficial back
Origin: occipital bone, C1-C7
Insertion: lateral 1/3 of clavicle
elevates shoulders
Latissimus Dorsi
superficial back
Origin: T7-T1, thoracolumbar fascia, posterior iliac crest, 9-12 ribs
Insertion: intertubercular sulcus of humerus bone
Innervated: thoracodorsal nerve
adduct + medially rotate arm; extend shoulders
Rhomboid Minor
superficial back
Origin: C7-T1
Insertion: medial border of scapula
Innervated: dorsal scapular nerve
retract + medially rotate scapulae
Rhomboid Major
superficial back
Origin: T2-T5
Insertion: medial border of scapula
Innervated: dosral scapular nerve
Levator Scapulae
superficial back
Origin: C1-C4
Insertion: medial border of scapula
Innervated: cervical spinal nerve
laterally flex + rotate head + neck, elevate shoulders
Intermediate Back Muscle
accessory muscles for respiratory + assist in holding tension in the back
branches of thoracic nerves
Serratus Posterior Superior
Serratus Posterior Inferior
Serratus Posterior Superior
Intermediate back muscle
Origin: C7-T3
Insert: 2-5 Ribs
spans laterally+inferiorly; elevates 2-5 ribs during repiration
Serratus Posterior Inferior
Intermediate back muscle
Origin: T11-L2
Insert: 9-12 Ribs
spans laterally + superiorly to depress 6-12 ribs during expiration
Deep Layer of Back Muscles
2 groups: Erector Spinae Group + Multifidus Muscle
Erector Spinae Group
keeps vertebral column erect and hyperetend the spine
I Love Spaghetti (I.L.S.)
Iliocostalis, Longissimus, Spinalis
Iliocostalis
deep back muscle
Origin: sacrum, crest of ilium, spinous process of lumbar + thoracic vertebrae, angles of lower 6 ribs
Insert: angles of upper ribs, transverse processes of cervical vertebrae
Longissimus
deep back muscle
Origin: transverse process of lower vertebrae
Insert: transverse process of thoracic + cervical vertebrae + mastoid process of skull
Spinalis
deep back muscle
Origin: spinous process of lower thoracic vertebrae
Insert: superior cervical vertebrae + base of skull
Multifidus
deep back muscle
makes up transversospinalis muscles
long muscle that spans the length of entire back
Origin: sacrum, transverse process of C2-L5
Insert: spinous process of most spinal vertebrae (C4-L5)
Abdominal Wall
4 muscles: Rectus Abdominis.
External Oblique,
Internal Oblique,
Transversus Abdominis
Rectus Abdominis
long, straight, vertical (6 pack)
surrounded by rectus sheath formed by aponeuroses of flat abdominal muscle
has TENDINOUS INTERSECTIONS that divide muscles into individual sections that increase range of motions
