15B - Pectoral Girdle Muscles Flashcards
How do you injure the AC joint?
Tackling
What is the conceptual joint?
Is a functional not true joint between the medial scapula and thorax. Braces the scapula onto the thorax for stability. Has lots of fluid of lubrication
What are the muscles that go from axial skeleton to pectoral girdle?
Pectoralis MINOR, subclavius, serratus anterior, trapezius, rhomboid major and minor, levator scapulae
Muscles from axial skeleton to humerus?
Pectoralis Major, Latissimus Dorsi
Muscles from pectoral girdle to humerus?
Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Major, Subscapularis, Deltoid, Coracobrachialis, Biceps and Triceps Brachii
What do I need to know about these muscles?
NERVE. Primary actions. General origins and insertions
What is Trapezius O and I?
O: broad from skull to T12 spinous processes
I: anatomical horseshoe (clavicle, acromion, spine)
> superior: clavicle
> middle: acromion
> inferior: spine of scapula
Action of trapezius?
All fibres together: retract
Superior: Elevates
Middle: Retracts
Inferior: Depresses
Superior and Inferior Fibres: STRONG superior rotation
Nerve to trapezius
Accessory Nerve (CN 11)
Levator Scauplae?
O: TRANSVERSE processes of upper cervical vertebrae
I: Superior angle of scaupla
> Dorsal Scapula Nerve
Elevates
O and I can swap to laterally flex head
Rhomboid Major and Minor
O: Spinous processes of lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebra
I: Medial Border of Scapula
> Dorsal Scapula Nerve
Retracts scapula
Latissimus Dorsi?
O: T7 - S5, iliac crest, lower ribs
I: FLOOR of intertubercular groove of anterior humerus
> adducts and internally rotates arm. Depress scapula
Thoracodorsal Nerve
Significance of lat dorsi origin including iliac crest?
- is of lower limb. This doesn’t move so is a stable base to anchor the upper limb to (mechanical advantage)
What does lat dorsi form?
The posterior fold of the armpit/axilla.
Pectoralis Major?
O: Sternocostal head and clavicular head
I: Lateral Lip of intertubercular groove
> internally rotates arm and adducts (and protract)
Lateral and Medial Pectoral Nerves
