Anatomy 1 Flashcards
Lateral attachment (insertion) of trapezius
lateral third of clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula
Medial attachment (origin) of trapezius
medial 3rd of superior nuchal line, EOP, nuchal ligament, spinous processes of C7-T12
Innervation of trapezius
spinal accessory nerve (CN XI), C3 & C4 spinal nerve
actions of the trapezius
descending (superior)- elevates
ascending (inferior)- depresses middle.
Medial attachment (origin) of latissimus dorsi
spinous process of inferior 6 thoracic vertebrae, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest and inferior 3 or 4 ribs
lateral attachment (insertion) of latissimus dorsi
floor of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
innervation of latissimus dorsi
thoracodorsal nerve (C6, 7, 8)
actions of latissimus dorsi
extends, adducts, and medially rotates shoulder joint. raises body during climbing
what is the medial attachment of the levator scapulae
posterior tubercles of transverse processes of C1-4 vertebrae
lateral attachment of levator scapulae
medial border of scapula superior to root of spine
innervation of levator scapulae
dorsal scapular nerve C5 and cervical C3 & 4 spinal nerves
action of levator scapulae
elevates scapula and tilts its glenoid cavity inferiorly by rotating scapula
medial attachment of rhomboid major
spinous processes of T2-T5
lateral attachment of rhomboid major
medial border of scapula from level of spine to inferior angle
innervation of rhomboid major
dorsal scapular nerve
action of rhomboid major
retract scapula and rotate it to depress glenoid cavity. fixes scapula to thoracic wall
medial attachment of rhomboid minor
nuchal ligament, spinous processes of C7 and T1 vertebrae
lateral attachment of rhomboid minor
triangular area at medial end of scapular spine
innervation of rhomboid minor
dorsal scapular nerve C4 & C5
actions of rhomboid minor
retract scapula and rotate it to depress glenoid cavity
serrratus posterior superior
elevates ribs
serratus posterior inferior
depresses ribs ** respiration
origin of the splenius
arises from nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7-T6 vertebrae
insertion of the splenius capitis
fibers run superolaterally to mastoid process of temporal bone and lateral third of superior nuchal line of occipital bone
insertion of splenius cervicis
tubercles of transverse processes of C1-C3 or C4 vertebrae
innervation of splenius
posterior rami of spinal nerves
actions of splenius
alone : laterally fle neck and rotate head to side of active muscles
together: extend head and neck
origin of iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis
arises from broad tendon, iliac crest
insertion of iliocostalis
fibers run superiorly to angles of lower ribs and cervical transverse processes
insertion of longissimus
superiorly to ribs between tubercles and angles to transverse processes in thoracic and cervical regions to mastoid process of temporal bone
insertions of spinalis
fibers run superiorly to spinous processes in upper thoracic region to cranium
innervation of erector spinae
posterior rami of spinal nerves
actions of erector spinae
bilaterally: extend vertebral column and head as back is flexed, control movement by gradually lengethening their fibers
unilaterally: laterally flex vertebral column
origin of semispinalis
arises from transverse processes of C4-T10 vertebrae
insertion of semispinalis
superomedially to occipital bone and spinous processes in upper thoracic and cervical regions spanning 4-6 segments
