COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS


Anatomy LECOM Exam 1 MMS

anterior ramus

•send branches posteriorly to innervate the extrinsic "superficial" back muscles, not trapizius

posterior ramus

serves the deep muscles and skin of the posterior surface of the trunk

purpose of intertubercal sulcus

important for muscle attachment




Trapezius- attachment & action

proximal attach- •External occipital protuberance, Superior nuchal line, Nuchal ligament, C7-T12
spinous processes
distal attach-•Acromia and spines of the scapulae
Lateral 1/3 of the clavicles
actions- moves scapulae

Trapezius Innervation

,Accessory nerve (CN XI) & C3 & C4 anterior rami spinal nerve,
blood from superficial cervical artery, joins spinal accessory nerve

Spinal Accessory (XI) injury

trauma, motor, shoulder cant shrug
cant raise hand above head

Latissimus dorsi

•Proximal Attachments

•Spinous processes of T7-T12, 10th-12th ribs, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia

•Distal Attachments

•Anterior surface of humerus (floor of intertubercular sulcus)

•Actions

•Extends, adducts and medially rotates the humerus. Elevates the body when climbing or doing
chin-ups

latissimus dorsi

•Motor/sensory innervation

•Thoracodorsal nerve (C6, C7, C8 – from brachial plexus)

•Blood supply

•Thoracodorsal artery – branch of the subscapular artery

•Rhomboid major

•Proximal Attachment – spinous processes of T2-T5

•Distal Attachments – medial border of scapula

•Actions – retract the scapula and keep it fixed to thoracic wall. can rotate the glenoid cavity
inferiorly

•Rhomboid minor

•Proximal Attachment – Nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7 and T1

•Distal Attachments – medial edge of scapular spine

•Actions – same as rhomboid major

,Rhomboids

•Motor/sensory innervation

•Dorsal scapular nerve (C4, C5 – from brachial plexus)

•Blood supply

•Dorsal scapular artery – branch of either the subclavian artery or cervicodorsal trunk

Levator scapulae

•Proximal Attachments

•Transverse processes of C1-C4

•Distal Attachments

•Medial border of scapula, superior to the root of the scapular spine

•Actions

•Elevates the scapula and rotates the glenoid cavity inferiorly

•Innervation and blood supply

•Dorsal scapular nerve (with contribution from C3) and dorsal scapular artery

Triangle of Auscultation

breath sounds
formed by- medial border scapula, lateral trapezius, superior latissimus dorsi
rhomboid major on triangle floor

Intermediate back muscles

•serratus posterior superior and serratus posterior inferior
•Lie in between the superficial and deep back muscles
•Serve a respiratory function

serratus posterior superior

•Proximal Attachments

•Nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7-T3

•Distal Attachments

•Superior borders of 2nd-4th ribs

, •Actions

•Proprioception. (may act to elevate the ribs)

•Innervation

•Intercostal nerves (anterior rami of T2-T5)

Serratus posterior inferior

•Proximal Attachments

•Spinous processes of T11-L2

•Distal Attachments

•Inferior borders of 8th-12th ribs

•Actions

•Proprioception. (may act to depress the ribs)

•Innervation

•Intercostal nerves (anterior rami of T9-T12)

Deep back muscles

•“intrinsic” back muscles

–Superficial, intermediate, and deep layers

•All are enclosed by deep fascia (including the thoracolumbar fascia)

•They extend from the pelvis to the cranium

•Maintain posture and control movements of the vertebral column

•All innervated by posterior rami of spinal nerves

what is back skin innervated by

posterior rami

splenius capitis

distal attach-•mastoid process of temporal bone, superior nuchal line of occipital bone
