What are the 3 processes found on the bone?
Most vertebrae have 3 processes. The spinous process, which is the one that comes straight off of your vertebral column, can actually be felt . You can feel this one particularly well at the base of your neck (this is the 7th Cervical vertebra, also known as Vertebra prominens). The very first vertebra, C1, also known at Atlas, does not have a spinous process. Each vertebra has two transverse processes which are on either side of the spinous processes. All of these processes are important for muscle attachments for movement of the head, neck and torso.
What Vertebra has a forked spinous process?
The seventh cervical vertebra (C7) is known to have a forked spinous process making it easily distinguishable from the other cervical vertebrae. This unique feature is commonly referred to as the vertebra prominens.
Spinal process broken how it affects back?
The spinous processes of the vertebrae are origins and insertions for various postural muscles. A broken spinous process would likely result in significant pain and muscle aches due to improper alignment of the muscles.
Is multifidus a deep muscle posterior to spine?
The multifidus muscles are deep, intrinsic muscle of the spine. Deep in that it has overlying musculature, intrinsic in that they originate and insert to the spine. The multifidi, along with the rotatores and semispinalis are collective referred to as the transversospinalis muscles given that they orriginate from the transverse processes of the spine & insert on the spinous processes of the spine. The multifidi themselves only span about 2-3 vertebral segments (bones in your back). The transversospinalis group lays deep to the larger erector spinae, which is a midline intrinsic back muscle group.
What muscle originates on the temporal fossa?
The muscle that originates on the temporal fossa is the temporalis muscle. It is a fan-shaped muscle located on the side of the head. It is responsible for the movement of the jaw, including chewing and closing the mouth.
What muscle originates on temporal fossa?
The temporalis originates on the temporal fossa.
The muscle that originates along the entire length of the linea aspera of the femur?
A muscle that originates along the linea aspera of the femur is
What deep muscle that extends the vertebral column?
Erector Spinae
What muscle originates on the Occipital Bone and inserts on the Skin and muscle around the eye?
The occipitofrontalis muscle originates on the occipital bone and inserts on the skin and muscle around the eye. It is responsible for raising the eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead.
What is the paraspinous muscle?
"para" means 'next to' "spinous" means 'spine' It is a series of muscles that run next to the spine...
What is the origin and insertion of the psoas muscle?
Psoas major originates along the lateral surfaces of the vertebral bodies of TXII and LI-LIV and their associated invertebral discs. Psoas minor, present in only some 50 per cent of the population, originates at the transverse processes of LI-LV. Iliacus originates in the Iliac fossa of the pelvis. Psoas major unites with iliacus at the level of the inguinal ligament and crosses the hip joint to insert on the lesser trochanter. Psoas minor inserts at the iliopectineal arch, the thickened band at the iliac fascia which separates the muscular lacuna from the vascular lacuna
What is a mass of tissue from the sternum to the vertebral column?
The mass of tissue from the sternum to the vertebral column is the pectoral muscle, specifically the pectoralis major muscle. It is a large muscle that covers the chest area and is responsible for movements like flexing and rotating the arm.
