Study Notes
Intermediate Layer Muscle Structure
- Includes three main muscle groups: iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis.
- Deep posterior rami (dpr) and segmental nerves are involved in innervation.
- Shared common origins in the sacrum and lumbodorsal fascia.
- Muscle regions include thoracis, cervicis, capitis, and lumborum.
Common Actions
- Muscles facilitate extension and hyperextension of the head, neck, and trunk.
- Enable lateral flexion to the same side.
- Allow trunk rotation to the same side, contributing to body stability and movement coordination.
