Anatomy Flashcards
Innervated by the Lateral pectoral nerve (C5,6,7) & medial pectoral nerve (C8,T1) (ventral ramus)
Pectoralis Major
Pectoralis Minor (innervation and arterial supply)
Innervated by the medial pectoral nerve (C8,T1)
????? artery
Serratus Anterior (nerve and artery)
external surfaces of lateral parts of 1st through 8th ribs
Long thoracic nerve
Long thoracic artery
Trapezius (innervation and arterial supply)
**spinal accessory nerve (CN XI) **
transverse cervical artery/posteriro intercostal arteries
elevates, retracts and rotates scapula, lower firbers depress scapula
Deltoid Muscle
anterior and posterior branches of axillary nerve
Posterior circumflex humoral artery, deltoid branch of thoracoacromial artery
Rhomboid major muscle
retracts and rotates scapula to depress the glenoid cavity
blood supply: dorsal scapular artery
Dorsal scapular nerve
Supraspinatus muscle
initiates arm abduction, acts with rotator cuff muscles
suprascapular artery
suprascapular nerve (C5,C6)
Latissimus dorsi muscle
Extends, adducts, and medially rotates humerus.
Thoracodorsal nerve (C6-C8)
Thoracodorsal artery
Teres minor muscle
Lateral rotation of arm, adduction
Posterior branch of axillary nerve (C5, C6)
Circumflex scapular artery
Teres major muscle
Adducts and medically rotates arm
Inferior subscapular nerve (C5, C6)
Circumflex scapular artery
Infraspinatus Muscle
Lateral rotation of arm (with teres minor)
Suprascapular nerve (C5, C6)
**Suprascapular artery **
Subscapularis muscle
Medially roatates arm and adducts it, helps hold humeral head in glenoid cavity
Superior and inferior subscapular nerves (C5, C6)
Subscapular artery
Coracobrachialis muscle
flexes and adducts arm,
musculocutaneous nerve (C5, C6, C7),
muscular branches of brachial artery
Biceps brachii muscle
Supinates forearm, Flexes forearm when supinated,
musculocutaneous nerve (C5, C6),
muscular braches of brachial artery
Space that transmits axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery
Quadrangular space. (formed by teres minor, teres major, long head of the tricepts, and the humerus)
Brachialis muscle
flexes forearm,
musculocutaneous nerve (C5, C6),
radial recurrent and muscular branches of brachial artery
