pectorial girdle muscle mianly funciton to move the…
scapuala
pectorial girdle muscles connect the ____ to the ___ and
connect the thoracic wall to the scapula and/or clavicle
what movements of the scapula does the pectoral girdle muscles function to do
- elevation
- depression
- retraction
- protraction (anterior muscles, such as serratus anterior
trapezius attachment sites
- external occipital protuberance
- ligamentum nuchae
- spinous process (C7-T12)
also attaches to the clavicle, scapula (spine and acromion)
3 main muscles of the pectorial girdle muscles
- trapezius
- levator scapualae
- rhomboids
function of the superior fibres of the trapezius on the scapula
elevate
functoin of the horizonatal fibres of the trapezius on the scapula
retract
function of the inferior fibres of the trapezius on the scapula
depress
attachment sites of the levator scapulae
- transverse process of cervical vertebrae (c1 to c4)
- superior angle of the scapula
what does trapezius do on the cervical spine
- exends
- lateral flexion
just deep to the semispinous and spleenous muscles (and deep to the trapezius ) is the
levator scapulae
function of lavator scapulae
pulls the scapualr upwards
attachment sites of rhomboids (major and minor)
- spinous process C7-T5
- medial border of scapula
function of the rhomboids
- orientated obliquely
- retracat
- (pull scapualr towards the spine)
- elevation
lavaror scaupulae ad rhombooid have the same nerve and blood supply
shoulder muscles conect the ___, ___ and ______ to the humerus
scapula
clavicle
thoracic wall
4 main shoulder muscles
- deltoid
- pecoralis major
- latissimus dorsi
- teres major
large powerful muscles
general function of the shoulder muscles
- to move the shoulder joint
attachment sites of the deltoid
- scapula
- clavicle
- deltiod tuberosity (humerus)
all fucntions of the deltiod AT THE SHOULDER JOINT
- abduction
- flexion
- extension
main funciton is abduction
function of the anterior fibres of the deltiod
flexion of the shoulder joint
function of the middle fibres of the deltiod
abduction
function of the posterior fibres of the deltiod
extenion of the shoulder joint
Attachment sires of pectoralis major
- clavicle, sternum, costal cartilages
- lateral lip bicipital groove (humerus)
Function of the pectoralis major
- flexion, addiction and medial rotation of arm
Attachment site of latissmus dorsi
- spinous process of T7-L2, iliac crest, inferior ribs
- floor of the bicipital groove (humerus)
Functions of latissimus dorsi
- extend, abduct, medially rotate arm
Attachments of the teres major
- inferior angle of scapul
- medial lip of the bicipital groove
Functions of the teres major
- extend, abduct, medially rotate arm
where does the long head of the long head biceps tendon sit?
In the bicipital groove
