Actions Insertions Origins Flashcards
Cleidobrachialis
Origin: clavicular intersection
Insertion: distal end cranial border of the humerus
Action: advance limb, extend shoulder, draw head and neck to side
Cleidocephalicus
Pars mastoidea
Par cervicalis
Origin: clavicular intersection
Par mastoidea insertion: mastoid process of the skull
Pars cervicalis insertion: occipital bone of the skull
Action: advance limb, extend shoulder, draw head and neck to the side
Sternocephalicus
Mastoid part
Origin: sternum
Insertion: mastoid part of the skull
Action: to draw the head and neck to the side
Occipital part:
Origin: sternum
Insertion: occipital bone of the skull
Action: draw the head and neck to the side
Omotransversarius
Attachments: distal end of the spine of the scapula, transverse process of the atlas
Action: to flex the neck laterally, advance limb
Trapezius
Cervical&Thoracic
Origin: median raphe
Insertion: spine of the scapula
Action: elevate and abduct the limb
Subscapularis:
Origin: subscapular fossa
Insertion: lesser tubercle of the humerus
Action: adductor extend and stabilize the limb
Teres major
Origin: caudal angle and adjacent border of the scapula
Insertion: Teres major tuberosity
Action: flex shoulder joint
Supraspinatus
Origin: supraspinous fossa
Insertion: greater tubercle of the humerus
Action: extend of flex and stabilize the shoulder joint
Teres minor
Origin: infraglenoid tubercle
Insertion: Teres minor tuberosity
Action: Flex shoulder, rotate laterally
Infraspinatus
Origin: infraspinatus fossa
Insertion: lateral side of the greater tubercle of the humerus
Action: extend or flex joint, rotate humerus
Weight bearing: prevent medial rotation, provide lateral stability to the shoulder joint
Deltoideus
Origin: spine & acromial process of the scapula
Insertion: deltoid tuberosity
Action: flex the shoulder
Serratus Ventralis
Serratus ventralis cervicis & thoracis
Origin: transverse process of the last 5 cervical vertebrae, 1st 7 or 8 ribs ventral to their middle
Insertion: dorsomedial 3rd of the scapula (serrated face)
Action: support the trunk and depress the scapula
Latissimus Dorsi
Origin: thoraculumnar fascia, last 7/8 vertebrae
Insertion: Teres major tuberosity
Action: draw the limb caudally (digging), flex the shoulder
Rhomboideus thoracis
Origin: spines of the 1st seven thoracic vertebrae
Insertion: dorsal border of the scapula
Action: elevate the forelimb, draw the scapula against the trunk
Rhomboideus cervicis
Origin: median raphe of the neck
Insertion: dorsal border of the scapula
Action: elevate the forelimb, draw the scapula against the trunk
Rhomboideus capitis
Origin: cranial dorsal border of the scapula
Insertion: occipital bone
Action: elevate the forelimb, draw the scapula against the trunk
Coracobrachialis
Origin: coricoid process of the scapula
Insertion: crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus, proximal to the Teres major tuberosity
Action: to adduct, extend, and stabilize the shoulder joint
