The Back Flashcards
What are the posterior-axis-appendicular muscles (back muscles)?
Made up of intrinsic and extrinsic back muscles
What are the scapulohumeral muscles?
Deltoid muscles Teres major Rotator cuff muscles (SITS)
What are the the extrinsic back muscles (layer 1 )
Trapezius Latissimus dorsi
What are the 2nd layer of the extrinsic back muscles?
- Levetor scapulae 2. Rhomboid minor 3. Rhomboid major
What are the muscles of the 3rd layer of the extrinsic back muscles?
Serratus posterior group: Superior and inferior
Where do the extrinsic muscles of the back develop?
The ventral body wall (hypomere)
What innervates the extrinsic muscles?
Ventral primary rami
Where do intrinsic back muscles develop?
In situ ( isn’t he original place) from epimere
What innervates the intrinsic back muscles?
Dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves
Where does the intercrestal plane lie?
Between the two iliac crest across to the spinous process of L4.
What is the intercrestal line used for ?
Lumbar puncture to draw Csf or for anesthesia
What is the foramen magnum for?
Exit of the spinal cord
What are the anterior axis-appendicular muscle? (Thoraco-appendicular pectoral)
Pect. Major and minor Subclavius Serratus anterior
Origin of trapezius
Occipital bone Ligamentum nuchae The spinous processes of T1-12
Innvervation of trapezius
Spinal Accessory spinal nerve
Overhead abduction is done by
Serratus anterior and trapezius
Latissimus Dorsi Origin
Inferior 6 spinous processes thoracic process Inferior 4 ribs Inferior angle of scapulae Thoracic lumbar fasciae Iliac crest
Insertion of Latissimus Dorsi
Intertubucular grove of humerus
Innveration of Latissimus Dorsi and Vessel
Thorcodorsal nerve (long scapular) V: Thoracodorsal artery
Action of latissimus dorsi
EAM ( Extend, Adductor and medically rotate) *swimming muscle
What muscles are in the rhomboid group? Innervation? Blood supply?
Name:Levator Scapulae, Rhomboid minor, Rhomboid Major N:dorsal scapular nerve Blood: deep branch of transverse cervical artery
What are the 5 muscles attached to c2 nerve (suboccipital)
Obliq. Capitis sup. + inf. Rectus capitis major + minor Semispsinalis capitis
What are the 8 pairs of muscles attached to c2?
?
Where does the inter-cristal plane pass over?
Spinous process of L4
What do you pass during. Lumbar puncture?
Interspinous ligament Supraspinous ligament Dura mater Arachnoid mater Stop at subarachnoid space
In a caudal epidural anesthesia, the needle is inserted into where?
The epidural
What part of the spine is especially prone to herniation?
Lumber spine due to the entire weight of the axis resting on it
What is the most common place where herniation or prolapse will occur?
The lumber region at the 5 & 7 o’clock positions where the annulus fibrosis is unsupported
Where does the ALL reinforce the IVD?
From the 9 to 3 o’clock position
Where does the Pll reinforce the disc at?
6 o’clock position
Where is dislocation most common in the spine?
The cervical region
What nerve will herniation compress?
The nerve below it Ex: l4 herniation will defect l5 nerve
What does occulta mean for rural tube defects?
The spina bífida is not obvious I.e tuft of hair in the back
What is the O/I of the Trapezius?
O: superior nuchal line, External occipital protuberance, Nuchal ligament, Spinous process of C7-T12 I: Clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula
Innervation and vessels of trapezius?
Spinal accessory (motor), cervical spinal never c3-c4 Vessels: superficial branch of transverse cervical artery
