One way for thorax to expand |
Vertically-superior inferior dimension Not manipulated by bony portion, depends on diaphragm muscle |
|
Primary muscle of inspiration |
Diaphragm |
|
Forced expiration muscles |
Internal intercostals and abdominal muscles |
|
Diaphragm |
Broad, thin dome shaped muscle that separates lung from abdomen |
|
Action of diaphragm |
Pushes abdominal wall out, lifts lower ribs, increases rib cage volume |
|
What happens when muscles around the diaphragm contract? |
The thoracic cavity is altered in size and diaphragm contracts. |
|
Where does diaphragm originate? |
Xiphoid process and costal cartilages from ribs 7-12, lumbar vertebrae |
|
Insertion of diaphragm |
Medically to central tendon |
|
Apeneurosis |
Sheet like tendon, layers of flat broad tendon |
|
Sterna portion of central tendon |
From xiphoid process of sternum |
|
Costal portion of central tendon |
Costal area of the cartilages of the last 6 ribs |
|
Vertebral portion of central tendon |
Originated from upper lumbar vertebrae from corpus of L1-L4 and transverse process of L1 |
|
What do openings of diaphragm do? |
Allow for descending aorta, esophagus, arteries, and inferior vena cava |
|
Where are inspiration muscles located? |
Neck and chest |
|
Role of external and internal intercostals |
Effect space between the ribs. Connect ribs to each other. Elect are the ribs at inferior attachment. |
|
External intercostals origin |
Between ribs, there are 11 pairs. Begins at inferior portion of the rib bone then connects to superior rib bone |
|
Serratus posterior superior origin |
Spinous process of c7-t3 |
|
Serratus posterior superior insertion |
Ribs 2-5 on to the angle of the rib, then muscles will pull ribs upward |
|
Costal elevators |
Also called levator costarum because they elevate the costal area, 2 parts brevis and longis |
|
Brevis |
Fibers come from transverse process of c7-t11 then insert at the dorsal aspect of the ribs |
|
Longis |
Originate from transverse process of t7-t10 and inserts at the dorsal aspect of the ribs |
|
Sternocleidomastoid |
Accessory muscle of the neck Elevation of sternum increases anterior and posterior thoracic cavity |
|
Origin and insert of sternocleidomastoid |
Origin: anterior surface of the manubrium and upper sternal ends of clavicle Insertion: vertically up to the mastoid process of temporal bone |
|
Scalenes |
Name means uneven. Has 3 different parts: anterior, middle, and posterior. All originate from cervical vertebrae |
|
Anterior fibers of scalenes |
Originate from transverse process c3-c6 and insert to rib 1 |
|
Middle fibers of scalenes |
Originate from transverse process of c2-c7 and insert at rib 1 |
|
Posterior fibers of scalenes |
Originate from transverse process of c5-c7 and insert to rib 2 |
|
Normal (quiet) breathing is.... |
A passive process. No muscular contraction is involved. Dependent on elasticity of the lungs, allowing them to naturally return to their original position |
|
Forced expiration is.... |
Active, needs muscular contraction. Happens in higher levels of inhalation |
|
Interchondral portion of internal intercostals works in.... |
Inspiration |
|
Interosseous portion of internal intercostals |
Differentiates from the cartilage that connects the sternum and the bony part of the ribs. Expiratory function |
|
Anterior posterior dimension in forced exporation |
Pulls down on ribs in the back and inside of the thoracic cavity |
|
Superior inferior dimension in forced expiration |
All abdominal muscles pull down the thoracic cavity to decrease the thoracic portion of the body |
|
Role of transverse thoracic and serratus posterior inferior |
Work opposite serratus posterior superior muscle |
|
Transverse thoracis origin and insertion |
Origin at inner body of the sternum Insertion at interchondral area of ribs 2-6 laterally |
|
Subcostal portion of thoracic wall |
Origin at angle of the ribs and inserts below second or third rib |
|
Posterior portion of thoracic wall |
Near the spinal cord |
|
Serratus posterior inferior origin and inseritonn |
Origin from spinous process of t11 and t12 and l1-l3 Insert to lower margin of ribs 7-12 |
|
Serratus posterior inferior origin and inseritonn |
Origin from spinous process of t11 and t12 and l1-l3 Insert to lower margin of ribs 7-12 |
|
Function of serratus posterior inferior |
To pull down the back portion of the ribs |
|
Boundaries of the abdomen |
Bounded below the diaphragm and above the pelvis. Form a wall anteriorly between pelvis and lower rib cage |
|
Why are boundaries of the abdomen important? |
Attach to Skelton and other structures through abdominal apeneurosis, where all muscles from abdomen are attached together |
|
Function of anterolateral abdominal group |
Anchors lower ribs to resist forces of diaphragm |
|
Quadratus lumborum |
Part of posterior abdominal group. Quadrilateral shape and flat sheet at dorsal aspect of adbokinal walls |
|
Quadratus lumborum origin and insertion |
Origin: iliac crest Insertion: transverse process of l1-l4 and the lowest ribs |
|
Two portions of abdominal apeneurosis |
Linea alba-middle portion Linea semilunaris-lateral portion |
|
Lumbodorsal fascia |
Two layer sheet on lower portion of the vertebral column |
|
Role of apeneurosis for muscle fibers |
Muscle fibers insert into apeneurosis, which splits to the bones of the pelvic girdle, vertebral column, sternum and ribs |
|
4 muscles that attach to the iliac crest of pelvic girdle |
External oblique Internal oblique Transverse abdominis Text us abdominis |
|
External oblique |
Wraps around torso and inserts at ribs 5-12 in posterior portion to abdominal apeneurosis then to iliac crest Strongest and largest abdominal muscle and most superficial |
|
Role of external oblique |
Compress abdominal contents and bend and rotate torso |
|
