Middle
O: Nuchal ligament at C6 spinal process (S.P.) C7 - T3
I: acromion process and spine of the scapula
A: retraction of the scapula (adduction)
Trapezius
Lower
O: S.P. of T4-T12

runs along the entire spine
Integumentary system
Structures
Skin
Structures derived from the skin:
- Hair
- Nails
- Sweat & oil glands (exocrine)
- Sensory receptors (neurological)

C.M.E.N
Connective tissue
- Specializes to support the body and it’s parts
- Connects and holds parts together
- Transports substances through the body
- Protects it from foreign invaders
Blood is a connective tissue
Mature connective tissue
3 types
One of the most widespread tissues in the body
Fibrous CT
Fluid CT
Skeletal CT
- Exists in more varied forms than other tissues
- Found in nearly every organ in the body
Fibrous connective tissue
Loose: delicate tissue-paper webs
Dense: tough resilient cords
Fibrous connective tissue
Loose or dense
4 examples
- Tendons
- Walls of vessels
- Covering of organs
- Fascia
Fluid (liquid) connective tissue
- Blood
- Lymph
