Pelvic Floor Muscles

These muscles form a sling-like structure that supports the pelvic organs, provides continence, and assists with defecation and childbirth. They include the (ischio)coccygeus, iliococcygeus, pubococcygeus, puborectalis, and levator ani.

Suboccipital Muscles

These four muscles are located at the back of the head and neck, responsible for controlling head movements, especially rotation and extension. They include the rectus capitis posterior major, rectus capitis posterior minor, obliquus capitis superior, and obliquus capitis inferior.

Suboccipital Triangle Contents

The suboccipital triangle is a small space at the back of the head, bordered by the rectus capitis posterior major, obliquus capitis superior, and obliquus capitis inferior muscles. It contains the vertebral artery, which supplies blood to the brain, and the suboccipital nerve, which innervates the muscles of the triangle.

Study Notes

Bone Structure and Function

  • Bone is composed of water, organic material (primarily collagen), and inorganic material (hydroxyapatite crystals).
  • Collagen provides tensile strength and flexibility.
  • Hydroxyapatite crystals provide rigidity and hardness.
  • Bone cells include osteocytes (mature bone cells that maintain structure and respond to mechanical forces), osteoblasts (bone-forming cells involved in synthesis and mineralization), and osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells involved in remodeling).

Long Bone Structure and Function

  • Long bones have rounded ends (epiphyses) composed of spongy bone (lighter, supportive) and contain red marrow for blood cell production.
  • The diaphysis (shaft) is a hollow tube of compact bone.
  • The diaphysis contains haversian canals for blood vessels and nerves.
  • The epiphyseal plate is a critical growth region in children that ossifies into the epiphyseal line with maturity.
  • Metaphysis is the area where the epiphysis and diaphysis meet.

Bone Classification

  • Bones are classified into different types, including long bones (e.g., femur), short bones (e.g., carpals), flat bones (e.g., sternum), and irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae).

Spinal Vertebrae

  • Crucial parts of the spinal vertebrae include the vertebral foramen, lamina, pedicle, superior articular process, transverse process, transverse foramen, body, and the spinous process.

Skull Bones

  • Important skull bones include the frontal, parietal, occipital, sphenoid, and temporal bones.
  • These cranial bones contribute to forming the roof of the skull structure. (Frontal, 2 parietals, and occipital bones)
  • Key sutures connecting the bones include coronal, sagittal, and lambdoid sutures.

Pelvic Bones

  • These structures include ilium, ischium, and pubis, which are responsible for forming the pelvis.
  • These bones articulate with the sacrum and coccyx to form the bony pelvis.

Pelvic Floor Muscles

  • Important pelvic floor muscles include coccygeus, iliococcygeus, pubococcygeus, puborectalis, and levator ani.
  • These muscles help support the pelvic organs and maintain continence.

Back Muscles

  • Intrinsic back muscles are categorized into superficial, intermediate, and deep layers based on location.
  • Superficial muscles include splenius cervicis and splenius capitis;
  • Intermediate includes iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis;
  • Deep muscles include semispinalis, multifidus, and rotatores;
  • Deepest layer muscles include interspinalis, intertransversii, and levatores costarum.

Additional Notes

  • The pterion is a vulnerable area on the skull where several cranial bones meet.
  • The maxilla forms the upper jaw.
  • The masseter and temporalis muscles are crucial for mastication (chewing).
  • Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine have different facet orientations.
  • The vertebral artery runs through the transverse foramina.
  • The intervertebral discs, which are vital for cushioning, are composed of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus.
