Iliocostalis muscle has a common origin from the iliac crest, the sacrum, the thoracolumbar fascia, and the spinous processes of the vertebrae from T11 to L5. [1]Iliocostalis cervicis (cervicalis ascendens) arises from the angles of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs, and is inserted into the posterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae.
The iliocostalis originates from the sacrum, erector spinae aponeurosis, and iliac crest. The iliocostalis has three different insertions according to the parts: iliocostalis lumborum has the lumbar part (where its insertion is in the 12th to 7th ribs). iliocostalis thoracis where its insertion runs from the last 6 ribs to the first 6 ribs.
The longissimus thoracis et lumborum is the intermediate and largest of the continuations of the erector spinae.. In the lumbar region (longissimus lumborum), where it is as yet blended with the iliocostalis, some of its fibers are attached to the whole length of the posterior surfaces of the transverse processes and the accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae, and to the anterior layer of ...
The three semispinalis muscles, span 4-6 vertebral segments: . semispinalis thoracis; semispinalis cervicis; semispinalis capitis; The multifidus muscle, and spans 2-4 vertebral segments
In the cervical region they are best developed, consisting of rounded muscular and tendinous fasciculi, and are placed in pairs, passing between the anterior and the posterior tubercles respectively of the transverse processes of two contiguous vertebrae, and separated from one another by an anterior primary division of the cervical nerve, which lies in the groove between them.
The interspinales are short muscle fascicles, found in pairs between the spinous processes of the contiguous vertebrae, one on either side of the interspinal ligament.. In the cervical region, the cervical interspinales are most distinct, and consist of six pairs, the first being situated between the axis and third vertebra, and the last between the seventh cervical and the first thoracic.
The deep group, also known as the intrinsic group due to its embryological origin in the back, can be further subdivided into four groups: Spinotransversales – composed of splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. Erector spinae – composed of iliocostalis, longissismus and spinalis
The rotatores muscles (rotatores spinae muscles) lie beneath the multifidus and are present in all spinal regions but are most prominent in the thoracic region.. Each muscle is small and somewhat quadrilateral in form; it arises from the superior and posterior part of the transverse process, and is inserted into the lower border and lateral surface of the lamina of the vertebra above, the ...
