Multifidus muscle

As Musculi multifidus (singular musculus multifidus, from Latin much divided, variously, " a lot of feathered muscles " ) refers to short, about three spinal segments running, rope-like skeletal muscles. They belong to the autochthonous back muscles stabilize the spine at the segmental level and are found in all mammals.

This muscle group extends from the sacrum to the second cervical vertebra, with regional sub- groups can be formed:

• The Musculi multifidi sacrales arise at the sacrum, the ilium and the tendinous structures of the region.
• The lumbar multifidus Musculi spring on the teats processes of the lumbar vertebrae.
• The Musculi multifidi thoracici spring to the transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae.
• The Musculi multifidus cervicis rise to the articular processes of the 4th to the 7th cervical vertebra.

Your approach, they are given at the spinous process of the vertebra vorvorgehenden.
