Refer to Powerpoint
Identify the clavicle.
Refer to Powerpoint
What is the large, fan-shaped muscle covering most of the anterior thoracic wall?
Pectoralis major
What innervates the pectoralis major?
Medial and lateral pectoral nerves
What is the origin and insertion of the pectoralis major?
Origin: sternal half of clavicle, sternum to 7th rib
Insertion: humerus
What is the function of the pectoralis major?
Flexes and adducts arm, rotates arm medially
What supplies the pectoralis major?
Pectoral branch of the thoraco-acromial artery, perforating branches of internal thoracic artery
What is the origin and insertion of the pectoralis minor?
Origin: Ribs 3-5
Insertion: Coracoid process of scapula
What is the function of the pectoralis minor?
Lowers lateral angle of scapula and protracts scapula
What innervates the pectoralis minor?
Medial pectoral nerve
What supplies the pectoralis minor?
Pectoral branch of thoraco-acromial and intercostal lateral thoracic arteries
What is useful as a landmark for axillary structures such as the axillary artery?
Pectoralis minor
What is the sawtoothed muscle that helps stabilize the scapula?
Serratus anterior
What innervates the serratus anterior?
Long thoracic nerve
What is the origin and insertion of serratus anterior?
Origin: Lateral surfaces of upper 8-9 ribs
Insertion: Costal surface of medial border of scapula
What supplies the serratus anterior?
Lateral thoracic artery
What is the function of the serratus anterior?
Protracts and rotates the scapula and holds it against the thoracic wall
What is the origin and insertion of the deltoid?
Origin: lateral third of anterior clavicle, lateral acromion, inferior edge of spine of scapula
Insertion: Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
What innervates the deltoid?
Axillary nerve
What are the functions of the deltoid?
Simply put, the deltoid abducts the humerus to 90 degrees;
Clavicular part: Flexes and medially rotates arm
Acromial part: Abducts arm beyond initial 15 degrees done by supraspinatus
Spinal part: Extends and laterally rotates arm
What are the rotator cuff muscles?
Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis (SitS)
What is the origin and insertion of supraspinatus?
Origin: Supraspinous fossa of scapula and deep fascia
Insertion: Superior facet of greater tubercle of humerus
What innervates supraspinatus?
Suprascapular nerve
What is the function of the supraspinatus?
Initiates arm abduction, acts with rotator cuff muscles
What supplies supraspinatus?
Suprascapular artery
True or false - supraspinatus rotates the humerus.
False
What is most frequently torn in rotator cuff injuries?
Supraspinatus
What is the origin and insertion of infraspinatus?
Origin: Infraspinous fossa of scapula and deep fascia
Insertion: Middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus
What innervates infraspinatus?
Suprascapular nerve
What is the function of infraspinatus?
Lateral rotation of arm (with teres minor)
What supplies infraspinatus?
Suprascapular artery
