Spine and Thorax Flashcards
This muscle is responsible for hiccups basically spasms
Diaphragm
Name the three holes of the Diaphragm
And what are they for?
Abdominal Aorta, Vena Cava Foramen and Esophageal hiatus
Abdominal Aorta-away,
Attachment site for the diaphragm
Central Tendon
nerve that feeds the diaphragm
Phrenic Nerve
involuntary contraction of the diaphragm will cause air to rush into the lungs and vocal cords to shut results in a
hiccup
muscles between the ribs,meat on the ribs
stabilizes rib cage, assist in respiration
intercostals
known as the the hip hiker muscle
deepest muscle of the abdomen ; watch the kidneys
originates at the posterior iliac crest inserts 12th rib and transverse process
accessible and workable on the lateral edge
Quadratus Lumborum
known as the anatomical weight belt
Transverse abdominus p.211
superficial of the spine
runs from the sacrum to the occiput along the posterior aspect of the vertebral column
includes iliocostalis, longissimus and spinalis(Lateral–>Medial)
I love sphaghetti
Erector Spinae Group
responsible for rotation of the trunk
Obliques
superficial to the erectors
where splenius capitus attaches at
finlike sheet of connective tissue that runs along the sagittal plane
help stabilize head and neck
Ligamentum Nuchae
deep to the trapezius and rhomboids
deep to the splenius capitis
splenius capitis
splenius cervicis
deep to the erector spinae muscle group
composed of three branches multifidi, rotatores and semispinalis
Transversospinalis Group
Located between the spinous and transverse processes and progress down the spine and transverse but now borders are palpable.
lamina groove
forms the speed bumps seen on the neck when extended
located along the thoracic and cervical vertebrae
semispinalis capitis
accessible in lumbar spine, ONLY muscles with fibers that lie across the posterior surface of the sacrum
trouble makers
Multifidi
shorter, smaller lie deep to the multifidi (troublemakers)
Rotatores
