Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the semispinalis muscles?

A
  • origin: arise from transverse processes of C4-T10 vertebrae
  • insertion: fibers run superiomedially to occipital bone and spinous processes in upper thoracic and cervical regions, spanning 4 to 6 segments
  • innervated by the posterior rami of spinal nerves
  • action: extend head and thoracic and cervical regions of vertebral column and rotates them contralaterally

Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the multifidus muscle?

A
  • origin: arises from posterior sacrum, posterior superior iliac spine, aponeurosis of erector spinae, sacro-iliac ligaments, mammillary processes of lumbar vertebrae, transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae, and articular processes of C4-C7
  • insertion: thickest in lumbar region, fibers pass obliquely superomedially to entire length of spinous processes of vertebrae located 2 or 4 segments superior to origin
  • innervated by the posterior rami of spinal nerves
  • action: unilateral contraction rotates contralateral side; stabilizes vertebrae during local movements of vertebral column

Q

what is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the rotatores muscles?

A
  • origin: aride from transverse processes of vertebrae; are best developed in thoracic region
  • insertion: fibers pass superomedially to attach to junction of lamina and transverse process or spinous process of vertebrae immediately (brevis) or 2 segments (longus) superior to vertebra of origin
  • innervated by the posterior rami of spinal nerves
  • action: may function as organs of proprioception; possibly stabilize vertebrae and assist with local extension and rotatory movements of vertebral column

Q

why is the angle of inclination of the femoral head advantageous to bipedal walkers? Why is it harmful?

A
  • is allows greater mobility and flexibility
  • it imposes considerable strain on the neck of the femur, fractures of the neck may occur in older people a a result of a slight stumble if the neck has been weakened by osteoporosis
