Mm. multifidi

short autochthonous back muscles running from the sacrum to the 2nd cervical vertebrae and extending over 3 spinal segments. The multifidi are divided into four groups, some of which have different origins.
Origin:
Multifidisacrales: sacrum, ilium, local tendons,
Multifidilumbales: teat processes of the lumbar vertebrae,
Multifidithoracici: transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae,
Multifidicervicis: transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae
Attachment: spinous processes
Innervation: medial branches of the rami posteriores of the spinal nerves
Antagonists:
Movement: Innervated on both sides: Extension of the spine; innervated on one side: Lateral flexion of the spine
