2 - Subscapular & Pectoral Regions Flashcards
What are the muscles of the pectoral girdle aka Rotator cuff muscles?
Deltoid m. "shoulder pads" Teres Major m. " lats' little helper" SITS Supraspinatus m. Infraspinatus m. Teres Minor m. Subscapularis m.
Deltoid Orgin
Lateral clavicle
Acromion
Spine of Scapula
(same as trapezius insertion???)
Deltoid Insertion
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Deltoid Action
primarily ABducts humerus
secondarily
flexes, extends, & rotates humerus
Deltoid Supply
axillary nerve
posterior circumflex humeral vessels
Teres Major Origin
Inferior angle of scapula
Teres Major Insertion
crest of lesser tubercle of humerus
Teres Major Action
ABducts, extends, & medially rotates humerus
Teres Major supply
lower subscapular nerve
subscapular vessels
Supraspinatus Origin
supraspinous fossa
Supraspinatus Insertion
greater tubercle of humerus
same as infraspinatus m.
Supraspinatus Action
ABducts humerus (first 15 degrees)
Supraspinatus Supply
suprascapular nerve
suprascapular vessels
dorsal scapular vessels
Infraspinatus Origin
infraspinous fossa
Infraspinatus Insertion
greater tubercle of humerus
same as supraspinatus m.
