Trunk and Thorax Flashcards
Trunk regions
deep back, thoracic cage and abdominal wall
movement of the spinal column
occurs at zygapophyseal and intervertebral joints
nuchal ligament
stabilizes the head to maintain proper neck posture
where do spinal nerves go
spinal nerves exist vertebral canal via intervertebral foramen and splits into anterior and posterior rami
path of spinal nerves
anterior and posterior rootlets combine to form ant. and post. roots. Then the roots combine to form spinal nerve. Spinal nerve then split into ant. and post. rami
joints at ribs
ribs elevate or depress at costotransverse and costo-vertebral joints
inspiration
depression of diaphragm and elevation of ribs
increase volume of thoracic cavity
depression of ribs
depression of ribs and elevation of diaphragm
decrease volume of thoracic cavity
trunk movements
flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion
superficial intrinsic muscles
serratus and splenius
muscles that make up the serratus muscle group
serratus posterior superior and serratus posterior inferior
serratus posterior superior actions and innervation
elevation of ribs
anterior rami
serratus posterior inferior actions and innervation
depression of ribs
anterior rami
muscles that make up the splenius muscle group
splenius capitis and splenius cervicis
splenius capitis action and innervation
extension, lateral flexion, rotation of head and neck
posterior rami
splenius cervicis action and innervation
extension, lateral flexion, rotation of head and neck
posterior rami
intermediate intrinsic
erector spinae
deep intrinsic
transversospinalis and segmentals
muscles that make up the erector spinae muscle group
iliocostalis, longissimus, splinalis
muscles that make up the transversospinalis muscle group
