Question
Answer
What comprises the functional unit of the vertebral column?   Two vertebral bodies, the intervening intervertebral disc, and 2 pairs of facet joints.  
🗑
What is meant by amplification by summation?   Taking a small amount of movement exhibited at a single functional unit of the vertebral column and multiplying it by the number of vertebra. Small amounts of motion are amplified into larger flexion/extension movements.  
🗑
Where could you find a zygophyseal joint? Classify it.   Between inferior and superior articulating facets. They are synovial in nature.  
🗑
Name the vertebral lever arms of the functional unit of the vertebral column.   Each vertebra has 3 pairs of lever arms: spinous process (fused in the midline into a single entity), transverse processes and costal elements (ribs).  
🗑
What is the general function of the vertebral lever arms?   Serve as attachments for intrinsic mm. of the back.  
🗑
List the superficial extrinsic mm. of the back.   Rhomboideus minor and major, levator scapulae, trapezius, latissimus dorsi.  
🗑
What is the function of the superficial extrinsic mm. of the back?   They serve in attaching the upper limb to the torso (trunk).  
🗑
List the intermediate extrinsic mm. of the back.   The serratus posterior superior and the serratus posterior inferior.  
🗑
What is the general function of the intermediate extrinsic mm. of the back?   They act as accessory muscles of respiration.  
🗑
What is the function of the intrinsic back mm.?   Postural in nature. Extension/flexion and lateral flexion of the vertebral column.  
🗑
Anatomically how are the intrinsic back muscles grouped?   Into three layers: superficial, intermediate and deep.  
🗑
Name the components of the Superficial muscle group   splenius capitis, splenius cervicis; Name the components of the intermediate muscle group  
🗑
Name the components of the deep muscle group   semispinalis, multifidus, rotatores, intertransversarii and interspinales.  
🗑
How are the intrinsic muscles innervated?   Segmentally, by individual dorsal rami along their length.  
🗑
Which of these intrinsic muscle groups is most superficial?   Components of the erector spinae (spinalis, longissimus, iliocostalis).  
🗑
Which of these intrinsic muscle groups is deepest?   Rotatores  
🗑
