Week 6 Flashcards
body muscles lying dorsal to the vertebral column form the _______ muscles.
Epaxial
muscles lying ventral to the vertebral column form the _______ muscles.
Hypaxial
How many layers of muscle are there in the body wall? name them.
Outer (superficial)
Intermediate (middle)
Inner (inner)
The inner muscle layer attaches to the _________ via a fascial layer.
Mesothelium
What is the Coelomic cavity? What mature remenants of this will develop?
It is the primitive anterior body cavity.
In the thorax it will become pleura. (via the endothoracic fascia)
In the mediastinum it will become the pericardium. (via the endothoracic fascia)
In the abdominal it will become peritoneum (via the transversalis fascia)
What cavities sit above and below the thoracic diaphragm?
Above: Thoracic cavity
below: Abdominopelvic cavity
What is the “flooring” for the abdominopelvic cavity?
The pelvic diaphragm (AKA the pelvic floor)
What are the 4 differentiations for VENTRAL myotomes? What GROUPS of muscles will each category make up?
Cervical Hypomeres: prevertebral neck muscles
Thoracic Hypomeres: Thoracic AND Abdominal muscles
Lumbar Hypomeres: Prevertebral lumbar muscles
Sacral Hypomeres: Pelvic Floor muscles
What muscles make up the outer, intermediate and inner layers of the thoracic body wall?
Outer: External Intercostals
Intermediate: Internal intercostals
Inner: innermost intercostals, Transversus thoracis, Subcostals
The neurovascular plane sits between what two muscles?
Internal intercostals and innermost intercostals.
For the External Intercostals explain:
- The attachments
- The Fibre direction
- The muscle layer itself
- They extend (span) from rib tubercles (posteriorly on the rib) to costal cartilage (Anteriorly on the rib), With superior and inferior attachments of the rib above and below. (There are 12 ribs, therefore there are 11 of these INTERcostal muscles)
- The fibres slope inferomedially (from anterior view)
- Muscle layer is incomplete anteriorly and becomes the external intercostal membrane.
For the Internal Intercostals explain:
- The attachments
- The Fibre direction
- The muscle layer itself
- Extend from the lateral sternal border (anteriorly) to the costal angles (posteriorly). And as the name suggests, these are intercostal muscles so there are 11 of them spanning from the rib above to the rib below.
- Fibres slope inferolaterally (from anterior view)
- Muscle layer is incomplete posteriorly and becomes internal intercostal membrane. (will cover the gap created at the posterior margin between costal angle and the vertebrae)
What are the muscles of forced inspiration? (give the SPECIFIC garry answer not the ISAP answer)
FIBRE DIRECTION IS KEY:
- Scalenes
- Thoracic Diaphragm
- External Intercostals
- Parasternal (interchondral) internal intercostals
- Sternocleidomastoids
(remember this by S.T.E.P.S)
What are the muscles of forced Expiration? (give the SPECIFIC garry answer not the ISAP answer)
FIBRE DIRECTION IS KEY:
- Interosseous (section) internal intercostals
- Abdominal muscles: Rectus Abdominus, Internal and external obliques and also the transversus abdominus.
WEAKLY aided (but im gonna say it cause garry does mention it in his slides): Transversus thoracis, now this is mainly due to it being active based on the fact it has the same neural recruitment as the abdominals during F.E.
For the Transversus Thoracis, Explain:
- Where it arises from
- Where it inserts
- Its action
- Arises from the posterior surface of the sternum
- Inserts on the costal cartilages (posterior aspect)
- Involved in forced expiration as it helps to depress the ribs HOWEVER is really just there to help the other F.E. muscles. Also thought to provide proprioceptive information.
For the innermost intermostals explain:
- The location
- The fibre direction
- Pleura connection
- Deep to the Internal intercostal muscles, only on the lateral aspect of the rib cage and seperated by the neurovascular bundle.
- Fibres slope inferolaterally (same as Internal IC’s)
- Connected to the parietal pleura via the endothoracic fascia
For the subcostales explain:
- The attachment
- The Rib distribution
- The Action
- Attach to internal surface near rib angles
- Span 2 or 3 ribs before insertion
- Assists rib depression in forced expiration
How does the abdominal body wall differ from the thoracic wall?
The abdominal wall has less bony support (i.e. no sternum, no ribs), therefore there will be less places for muscles to attach to resulting in muscle layers in the abdomen being thicker and there will be for fascia and aponeuroses.
Explain the fascial support of the abdominal body wall
Supported posteriorly and laterally by the thoracolumbar fascia, and anteriorly by the rectus sheath (a psuedosternum: it acts like the sternum for the abdominal wall)
In the abdominal body wall what two muscles does the neurovascular plane sit between?
The internal obliques (intermediate layer)
and
The Transversus abdominus (Inner layer)
For the External Abdominal oblique muscles:
- What are they are continuation of?
- what is the origin?
- What is the insertion?
- What does it contribute to?
- Where do they become aponeurotic?
- what is the Direction of the fascicles?
- Continuation of the External Intercostals
- O: Lower 8 ribs
- Linea Alba, iliac crest, inguinal ligament, pubic tubercle
- Contributes to the rectus sheath
- Becomes aponeurotic at the Mid Clavicular Line (anteriorly)
- Same as external intercostals: Inferomedially
