Anatomy and Physiology I Muscles that Move the Vertebral Skeleton Muscles that Aid in Breathing Muscles of the Abdominal Wall Muscles that Move the Scapula Instructor: Mary Holman
Muscles that move the Vertebral Column Erector spinae: Iliocostalis group - lateral Longissimus group - intermediate Spinalis group - medial
Fig. 9. 26 Iliocostalis (lateral) group Iliocostalis cervicis Iliocostalis thoracis Iliocostalis lumborum Action: Acting together, muscles of each region extend and maintain erect posture of vertebral column in their respective region. Acting singly, laterally flex vertebral column in their region. Copyright © The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Fig. 9. 26 Iliocostalis Group of Erector Spinae Iliocostalis cervicis Iliocostalis thoracis Cervicis Origin: upper 6 ribs Insertion: cervical vertebrae 4 -6 Action: extends neck Thoracis Origin: lower 6 ribs Insertion: upper 6 ribs Action: holds spine erect, extends, laterally flexes & rotates Lumborum Iliocostalis lumborum Origin: Iliac crest & lumbar vert. Insertion: lower 6 ribs Action: Extends, laterally flexes & rotates spine Copyright © The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Fig. 9. 26 Longissimus (intermediate) Group Longissimus capitis Longissimus cervicis Longissimus thoracis Action: Acting together, both L. capitis muscles extend the head. Acting singly, they rotate the head to the same side as the contracting muscle. Acting together, L. cervicis & L. thoracis extend the vertebral column in their regions. Acting singly, they laterally flex the vertebral column in their region. Copyright © The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Origin: upper thoracic, lower cervical vertebrae Insertion: Mastoid process Action: extends & rotates head Cervicis Origin: 4 th and 5 th thoracic vertebrae Insertion: 2 nd - 6 th cervical vertebrae Action: holds spine erect, extends, laterally flexes & rotates Thoracis. Origin: lumbar vertebrae Insertion: Thor. and upper lumbar vertebrae & ribs 9 & 10 Action: Extends thoracic region of spine

Fig. 9. 26 Spinalis Group of Erector spinae Capitis- Spinalis capitis Origin: upper thoracic, lower cervical vertebrae Insertion: Occipital bone Action: extends & rotates head Spinalis cervicis Spinalis thoracis Cervicis Origin: ligmentum nuchae & 7 th cervical vertebra Insertion: axis Action: holds spine erect, extends, laterally flexes & rotates Thoracis. Origin: upper lumbar and lower thoracic vertebrae Insertion: Upper thoracic vertebrae Action: Extends thoracic region of spine
