WEEK 4 Flashcards
Musculature of the Vertebral Column
Where do myoblasts from the epimere originate from?
Dorsal medial lip become epaxial muscles
Where do myoblasts from the hypomere originate?
Ventral Lateral Lip becomes hypaxial muscle
Are prevertebral muslces intrinsic or extrinsic?
Both, intrinsic and extrinsic
Why do hypaxial muscles not move the vertebral column
prevertebral
What muscles groups make up the deep intrinsic musculature?
Intertransversarii
Interspinales
Transverso-spinales
Where is the interspinales muscle and the ligament that runs medially?
Located between spinous processes
Lateral to the interspinous ligament
Where is the Intertransversarii located and what ligament runs anteriorly and posteriorly and what is its action?
Located: Between TVP
Ant/Pos to intertransverse ligament
Action: proproreceptive, too thin to provide structural support
