Spinal Muscles Flashcards
what are the spinal movements
(3)
flexion, extension and rotation
what are the 3 groups of the erector spinae
iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis
what are the 4 regions of the erector spinae
capitis, cervicis, thoracis, lumborum
what regions are in the iliocostalis muscle group
cervicis, thoracis, lumborum (bottom 3)
what regions are in the longissimus muscle group
capitis, cervicis, thoracis (top 3)
what regions are in the spinalis muscle group
capitis, cervicis, thoracis (top 3)
what are the 2 neck muscles
sternocleidomastoid and the scalenes (anterior, middle and posterior)
what connects to each end of the posterior scalenes
(ribs and vertebrae)
transverse processes of c5-c7
————–>
second rib
what connects to each end of the middle scalenes
(ribs and vertebrae)
transverse processes of c3-c7
—————->
first rib
what connects to each end of the anterior scalenes
(ribs and vertebrae)
transverse processes of c3-c6
—————>
first rib
ORIGIN of the external abdominal oblique
the anterior angles of the lower 8 ribs
INSERTION of the external abdominal oblique
outer anterior half of iliac crest, inguinal ligament, pubic tubercle and crest, aponeurosis anterior rectus sheath
ACTION of the external abdominal oblique
supports abdominal wall, assists forced expiration, aids raising intra-abdominal pressure and with muscles of opposite side, abducts and rotates trunk
INNVERVATION of the external abdominal oblique
anterior primary rami (t7-t12)
ORIGIN of the internal abdominal oblique
thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, superior iliac spine, half of inguinal ligament
INNERVATION of the internal abdominal oblique
intercostal nerve
ACTION of the internal abdominal oblique
lateral flexion and same-side rotation, bilateral flexion, abdominal bracing
where does the linea alba start and stop
xiphoid process
——–>
pubic symphysis
(anterior)
ORIGIN of the transverse abdominis
costal margin, lumbar fascia, anterior 2/3 of iliac crest, lateral half of inguinal ligament
