Trunk Muscles Flashcards
Iliocostalis (lumborum, thoracis, cervicis)
-origin
common origin
-broad tendon from posterior iliac crest, sacrum, SI ligaments, spinous processes of sacral and inferior lumbar vertebrae
Iliocostalis (lumborum, thoracis, cervicis)
-insertion
I. lumborum -inferior border of angle of ribs 12-6 I. thoracis -all ribs I. cervicis -ribs 6-1 -posterior tubercles of C4-C6
Iliocostalis (lumborum, thoracis, cervicis)
-actions
laterally flex head and vertebral column to same side (ipsilaterally)
bilateral head and trunk extension
Iliocostalis (lumborum, thoracis, cervicis)
-innervation
dorsal rami of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal nerves
longissimus (thoracic, cervicis, capitis)
-origin
common origin
- cervicis and capitis have origins on the transverse processes at lower levels
- this seems like a strange description of the origin; will try and figure out from book
longissimus (thoracic, cervicis, capitis)
-insertion
L. thoracis
-tips of transverse processes T1-T12
-tubercles of inferior border of ribs 9 and 10
L. cervicis
-superior thoracic transverse processes to cervical transverse processes
L capitis
-arises with L. cervicis and attaches to mastoid process
longissimus (thoracic, cervicis, capitis)
-actions
ipsilateral lateral flexion of head and vertebral column
bilateral head and trunk extension
L.capitis
-rotates head to same side
longissimus (thoracic, cervicis, capitis)
-innervation
dorsal rami of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal nerves
Spinalis (thoracic, cervicis)
-origin
common origin
-from spinous processes
Spinalis (thoracic, cervicis)
-insertion
S. thoracic
-tips of spinous processes of thoracic vertebrae
S. cervicis
-ligamentum nuchae to axis (C2)
*these are inconsistent attachments according to the notes
Spinalis (thoracic, cervicis)
-actions
head and vertebral column extension
Spinalis (thoracic, cervicis)
-innervation
dorsal rami of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal nerves
semispinalis (thoracis, cervicis, capitis)
-origin
S. thoracis
-transverse processes superomedially T6-T10
S. cervicis
-transverse processes superomedially T1-T6
S. capitis
-transverse processes T1-T6 (C7 articular process)
semispinalis (thoracis, cervicis, capitis)
-insertion
S. thoracis -spinous processes C6-T4 S. cervicis -Spinous processes C2-C5 S. Capitis -Inferior to superior nuchal line
semispinalis (thoracis, cervicis, capitis)
-actions
all -contralateral trunk/head rotation S. thoracis and cervicis -vertebral column extension S. capitis -head extensor when active bilaterally
semispinalis (thoracis, cervicis, capitis)
-innervation
dorsal rami of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal nerves
multifidus
-origin
laminae (mamillary process) of S4-C2, including zygapophysial capsule
may be absent in thoracic region
multifidus
-insertion
superomedially 2-4 vertebrae to spinous process
multifidus
-action
unilaterally -lateral flexion of vertebral column -contralateral transverse rotation bilaterally -trunk extension vertebral column stabilization
multifidus
-innervation
dorsal rami of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal nerves
rotatores (brevis and longus)
-origin
transverse processes of entire vertebral column
rotatores (brevis and longus)
-insertion
superomedially to spinous processes of next (brevis) or 2nd SP (longus)
