Anatomical Landmarks
Students should be able to identify basic anatomical landmarks of the back including external occipital protuberance, C7 vertebra, angles of the scapula, medial margin of the scapula, spine of the scapula, iliac crest, and boundaries of the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and erector spinae muscles.

๐ก ํต์ฌ ๊ฐ๋
- Study specific attachments, actions, innervation, and vascularization
- Focus on superficial back muscles (See table)
Trapezius Muscle - Detailed Innervation
Motor innervation via Spinal accessory nerve (CN XI) which arises from upper segments of the spinal cord, ascends through the foramen magnum to enter the cranial cavity, then exits through the jugular foramen, descends through the posterior triangle of the neck to the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius. Accessory nerve syndromes can occur as it crosses the posterior triangle of the neck resulting in a medial winged scapula, droopy shoulder, or the inability to raise shoulder or arm above the head. Sensory innervation through C3 and C4 spinal nerves for proprioception.
๐ก ํต์ฌ ๊ฐ๋
- Motor: Spinal accessory nerve (CN XI)
- Sensory: Proprioception through C3 and C4 spinal nerves
- Accessory nerve syndromes: medial winged scapula, droopy shoulder, inability to raise shoulder/arm above head
