Functional Morphology of the Vertebral Column in Remingtonocetus (Mammalia, Cetacea) and the Evolution of Aquatic Locomotion in Early Archaeocetes
Functional Morphology of the Vertebral Column in Remingtonocetus (Mammalia, Cetacea) and the Evolution of Aquatic Locomotion in Early Archaeocetes by Ryan Matthew Bebej A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Philip D. Gingerich, Co-Chair Professor Philip Myers, Co-Chair Professor Daniel C. Fisher Professor Paul W. Webb © Ryan Matthew Bebej 2011 To my wonderful wife Melissa, for her infinite love and support ii Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank each of my committee members. I will be forever grateful to my primary mentor, Philip D. Gingerich, for providing me the opportunity of a lifetime, studying the very organisms that sparked my interest in evolution and paleontology in the first place. His encouragement, patience, instruction, and advice have been instrumental in my development as a scholar, and his dedication to his craft has instilled in me the importance of doing careful and solid research. I am extremely grateful to Philip Myers, who graciously consented to be my co-advisor and co-chair early in my career and guided me through some of the most stressful aspects of life as a Ph.D. student (e.g., preliminary examinations). I also thank Paul W. Webb, for his novel thoughts about living in and moving through water, and Daniel C. Fisher, for his insights into functional morphology, 3D modeling, and mammalian paleobiology. My research was almost entirely predicated on cetacean fossils collected through a collaboration of the University of Michigan and the Geological Survey of Pakistan before my arrival in Ann Arbor. -

The Erector Spinae Group Is a Group of 3 Sets of Muscles—Spinalis, Longissimus, and Iliocostalis
The Erector Spinae Group is a group of 3 sets of muscles—spinalis, longissimus, and iliocostalis. The spinalis group are located off of the spinous processes of the vertebrae. The longissimus group are located off of the transverse processes of the vertebrae and the iliocostalis group are located off of the ribs. By knowing these regions we can see that the spinalis group is the most medial and the iliocostalis group is most lateral. 1 During full flexion the erector spinae are relaxed. When standing upright the muscles are active and extension is initiated by the hamstrings—so when you lift a load from the bent over position it causes injury to the erector spinae group. Always lift with a straight back, not when you are hunched over. 2 3 The interspinalis muscles are very tiny muscles that connect from one spinous process to another. The intertransversarii muscles connect between each transverse process. The multifidus lies deep to the erector spinae muscles and it connects from one transverse process to the next spinous process. 4 The rotatores differs from the multifidus by going from 1 transverse process to 2 spinous processes. 5 The external obliques are the most superficial of the oblique muscles. Notice the fibers angle downward and medially, which allows for lateral flexion to same side and rotation to the opposite side. What other muscle does that (neck muscle)?? Once again it takes both sides to contract to cause trunk flexion to occur and only 1 side to cause the rotation and lateral flexion. Now the internal obliques have the fibers directed more horizontally which allows for rotation to the same side when 1 side contracts unlike the external obliques. -

The Lumbosacral Dorsal Rami of the Cat
J. Anat. (1976), 122, 3, pp. 653-662 653 With 1O figures Printed in Great Britain The lumbosacral dorsal rami of the cat NIKOLAI BOGDUK Department ofAnatomy, University ofSydney, Sydney, Australia (Accepted 2 December 1975) INTRODUCTION Several reflexes involving dorsal rami have been demonstrated in the cat (Pedersen, Blunck & Gardner, 1956; Bogduk & Munro, 1973). However, there is no adequate description in the literature of the anatomy of lumbosacral dorsal rami in this animal. The present study was therefore undertaken to provide such a description, hoping thereby to facilitate the design and interpretation of our own (Bogduk & Munro, 1973) and future research on reflexes involving lumbosacral dorsal rami, including reflexes possibly relevant to the understanding of back pain in man. These nerves are described in the present study in relation to a revised nomen- clature of the muscles in the dorsal lumbar region. Such a revision (Bogduk, 1975) was necessary because of the different nomenclatures and varied interpretations in the literature. METHODS Six laboratory cats (Felis domesticus) were embalmed with 10° formalin and studied by gross dissection. In addition, confirmatory observations were made on another 16 cats in the course of surgical procedures. Lateral branches of dorsal rami were first identified during reflexion of the skin and then during the resection of iliocostalis and longissimus lumborum. These branches were subsequently traced back to their origins from the dorsal rami, a dissecting microscope being used. The medial branches of the dorsal rami were then traced through the intertransversarii mediales into multifidus. Sinuvertebral nerves were also sought. Nerve roots were detached from the spinal cord before removing it from the vertebral canal. -

The Human Lumbar Dorsal Rami Department Ofanatomy
J. Anat. (1982), 134, 2, pp. 383-397 383 With 9 figures Printed in Great Britain The human lumbar dorsal rami *NIKOLAI BOGDUK, ANDREW S. WILSON AND WENDY TYNAN Departments of Medicine and Anatomy, University of New South Wales, and Department ofAnatomy, University of Western Australia (Accepted 13 April 1981) INTRODUCTION Over the past decade there has been a renewed interest in disorders of structures supplied by the lumbar dorsal rami as possible causes of low back pain. Textbooks of anatomy give only abridged descriptions of these nerves (Cruveilhier, 1877; Testut, 1905; Hovelacque, 1927; Lockhart, Hamilton & Fyfe, 1965; Cunningham,. 1972; Gray, 1973). There have been previous studies of the lumbar dorsal rami, but each has focused only on particular aspects, usually the innervation of the zygapophysial joints (Pedersen, Blunck & Gardiner, 1956; Lazorthes & Juskiewenski, 1964; Lewin, Moffett & Vildik, 1962; Bradley, 1974) or the cutaneous distribution of the lateral branches (Johnston, 1908; Etemadi, 1963). This study was undertaken to provide a comprehensive description of the lumbar dorsal rami and to relate their anatomy to the interpretation and therapy of low back pain. METHODS The lumbar dorsal rami and their branches were studied in four adult embalmed cadavers and in two postmortem cadavers. From the post mortem specimens, the lumbar vertebral columns and surrounding muscles were excised en bloc about 10 hours after death and fixed by immersion in 10 % formalin. The nerves were dis- sected with the aid of a x 40 dissecting microscope. In the embalmed specimens, the lateral branches were identified where they pierced the dorsal layer of thoracolumbar fascia.
