Examples of myotome in the following topics:
-
- A dermatome is an area of skin that is supplied by a single spinal nerve, and a myotome is a group of muscles that a single spinal nerve root innervates.
- A myotome is the group of muscles that a single spinal nerve root innervates.
- The myotome is the motor equivalent of a dermatome.
- The myotome distributions of the upper and lower extremities are listed below:
- The testing of myotomes provides the clinician with information
about the level in the spine where a lesion may be present.
-
- They will eventually become dermis (dermatome), skeletal muscle (myotome), vertebrae (sclerotome), and tendons and cartilage (syndetome).
- The myotome is that part
of a somite that forms the muscles.
- Each myotome divides into an epaxial part (epimere),
at the back, and a hypaxial part (hypomere) at the front.
-
- A group of muscles innervated through a specific part of the spine is called a myotome, and injury to the spine can cause problems with voluntary motor control.
