Study Notes
Muscles of Respiration
- The diaphragm is the major muscle of respiration, responsible for increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity during inspiration.
- The intercostal muscles (external and internal) move the rib cage superiorly during inspiration and inferiorly during expiration.
- The trapezius muscle contracts during forceful exhalation.
Nerve Supply
- The phrenic nerve supplies motor fibers to the diaphragm.
- The intercostal nerves (T1-T11) innervate the intercostal muscles, skin of the chest wall, and parietal pleura in the thoracic region.
- The spinal accessory nerve (CN XI) supplies motor fibers to the trapezius muscle.
- The posterior ramus of C1, the suboccipital nerve, innervates the suboccipital muscles.
Back Muscles
- The trapezius muscle is considered an intrinsic (deep) back muscle.
- The semispinalis muscle lies in a groove on each side of the vertebral column and is the chief extensor of the vertebral column.
- The splenius muscle is the superficial member of the transversospinalis group, responsible for extension of the head, cervical spine, and thoracic spine.
Blood Supply and Drainage
- The internal thoracic artery supplies the superior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
- The posterior intercostal arteries branch off the aorta.
- The anterior intercostal arteries branch off from the internal thoracic artery.
- The posterior intercostal veins drain into the azygos or hemiazygos veins.
- The anterior intercostal veins drain directly or indirectly into the right and left innominate veins.
Pectoral Region
- The pectoral region is innervated by intercostal nerves (T1-T4).
- The main arteries for blood supply in the pectoral region include the internal thoracic artery and its branches.
- The main veins for venous drainage of the pectoral region include the internal thoracic vein, anterior intercostal veins, and superior epigastric vein.
Abdominal Wall
- The main arteries for blood supply in the anterolateral abdominal wall include the internal thoracic artery, superior epigastric artery, and musculophrenic artery.
- The four main veins of the anterolateral abdominal wall include the superior epigastric vein, musculophrenic vein, and their tributaries.
- The T7-T11 nerves run along the costal margin and provide sensory information to skin and muscles to the anterolateral abdominal wall.
- The iliohypogastric nerve (L1) runs along the iliac crest and provides sensory innervation to the lower abdominal wall and pubic region.
- The ilioinguinal nerve (L1) runs close to the iliohypogastric nerve and provides sensory and motor innervation to the abdominal and inguinal regions.
