MOINA of the thorax
Origin, Insertion, Nerve supply, Action of muscles of the Thorax
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What muscle/s originates at inferior border of the rib? | External intercostals and Internal intercostals |
| Insertion of Innermost intercostal muscle | Adjacent ribs |
| Muscles innervated by the intercostal nerves | External intercostal, Internal intercostal, Innermost intercostal, Serratus posterior superior, and Serratus posterior inferior |
| It assists external and internal intercostals | Innermost intercostal |
| Where does the Serratus posterior superior muscle originates? | Lower cervical and upper thoracic spines |
| Where does the Serratus posterior inferior muscle inserted? | Lower ribs |
| Innervated by the posterior rami of thoracic spinal nerves | Levatores costarnum |
| Very important muscle for inspiration; it increases vertical diameter of thorax; and assists in raising lower ribs | Diaphragm |
| Muscle/s inserted at superior border of rib | External intercostals and Internal intercostals |
| What muscle originates at adjacent ribs? | Innermost intercostal |
| Inserted at the upper ribs | Serratus posterior superior |
| Muscle/s that raises ribs, and one of the inspiratory muscles | Serratus posterior superior and Levatores costarum |
| Where does the Diaphragm inserted? | Central tendon |
| It raises ribs during inspiration; and increases anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the thorax | External intercostals |
| Where does diaphragm originates? | Xiphoid process (sternal part); Lower 6 costal cartilages (costal part); and First 3 lumbar vertebrae (vertebral part) |
| Action of Serratus posterior inferior muscle | depresses ribs and one of the expiratory muscles |
| Nerve supply of Diaphragm | Phrenic nerve |
| Originated at the tip of transverse process of C7 and T1-T11 vertebrae | Levatores costarum |
| Lowers ribs during expiration | Internal intercostal |
| Where does Serratus posterior inferior originated? | Upper lumbar and Lower thoracic spines |
| Where does the Levatores Costarum muscle inserted? | Rib below |
