Iliocostalis

The spinal column, and muscles around it play a key role in our lives. Most of our structural support in our back comes from structures called vertebrae. In total the human has 33 vertebrae. The bodies of the vertebrae rest on intervertebral discs. These discs have a ring of fibrocartilage called annulus fibrosus with a substance in the center called pulposus. These tissues provide flexibility within the spinal column. The spinal cord runs through the vertebral foramen of each vertebrae. Some vertebrae

On the first day of our dissection process, the group before us also had the right portion of the back, which includes the following muscles: Trapezius, Latissimus dorsi, Triangle of auscultation, Lumbar triangle, Blood vessels and nerves, posterior triangle of neck, Rhomboid major, Rhomboid minor, Levator scapulae, Serratus posterior superior and inferior, Splenius capitis, Semispinalis, erector spinae, and Multifidus. Once it was our turn for the dissection process of the cadaver, the previous

are three unique muscles which serve a dual process, the internal intercostals, lateral iliocostalis thoracic, and latissimus dorsi. They all keep their same origin and insertion points but differ by functions. They elevate the ribs and rib cage during inhalation and also depress the ribs and rib cage during exhalation. Another muscle is the lateral iliocostalis lumborum also works with the lateral iliocostalis thoracis to stabilize the back ribcage. Next the serratus posterior inferior is v-shaped

discerned by visual inspection. Additionally, when ultrasonography was used as an additional visualization tool during clinical studies, sole activation of the multifidus muscle was seen without a visible paraspinal muscle twitch. Conversely, when the iliocostalis and longissimus muscles were activated, a paraspinal muscle twitch was visible, even when the multifidus was not being

The anatomical problems of FOP are visibly present in all cases. The most common deformity is the curvature of the spinal column; it can be bent anteriorly at 90 degrees and also bent posteriorly at upwards to 50 degrees (raredisease.org). The arms of the human skeleton can be abducted or adducted contingent upon the position the arm is in when the muscles are ossified. The joints will become locked, most commonly the mandible (jaw bone) and coxal joint, as well as the joints of the elbow, knee,

All of these muscles are vital to execute a correct push-up. Each one sounds complicated, but they amazingly work well together. Lowering Phase Once the push-up is completed, the person must precisely lower themselves back down to a prone position. In this phase, the same muscles are used as discussed in the pushing up phase, except in the opposite direction. Stabilizers The muscles being discussed are needed to help stabilize the body and keep it straight while doing a push-up. The primary
