Anterior chest, arm and review muscles Flashcards
supraspinous origin
suprascapular fossa of the scapula
supraspinous insertion
superior facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus
supraspinatus innervation
suprascapular nerve (C4, C5, C6)
supraspinatus action
initates and assits the deltoid with abduction of the shoulder, acts with other rotator cuff muscles
infraspinatus origin
infrascapular fossa of the scapula
infraspinatus insertion
middle facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus
infraspinatus innervation
suprascapular nerve (C4,C5, C6)
infraspinatus action
laterally rotate the shoulder joint, helps hold the humeral head in cavity
trapezuis origin and insertion
origin: nuchal ligament, spinous processes of C7-T12, Medial 3rd of Superior Nuchal line, External Occipital Proturbernce
insertion: Acromin and Spine of the Scapula and the lateral clavicle
trapezuis innervation and action
innervation: spinal accessory nerve (CN XI) Action: Decending fibers: elevates scapula Midde Fibers: depresses scapula Ascending fibers: retract scapula
Rhomboid Major and Minor origin
Major: Spinous processes of T2-T5
Minor: Nuchal ligament, Spinous processes of C7-T1
Rhomboid Major and Minor insertion
Minor: at the root of the spine of the scapula on the medial border
Major: below the spine of the scapula on the medial border (to the inferior angle)
Rhomboid Major and Minor innervation and action
Major and Minor: Dorsal-scapular Nerve (C5)
retracts the scapula
Levator Scapulae Origin
posterior tubercles of transverse processes of C1-C4
Levator Scapulae insertion
attaches above the spine of the scapula on the medial border
Levator Scapulae innervation and action
Dorsal-scapular nerve
elevates scapula
Subscapularis origin
on the subscapular fossa on the anterior scapula
subscapularis insertion
lesser tubercle of the humerus
subscapularis innervation
Upper and Lower Subscapular Nerves (C5,C6,C7)
teres minor origin
middle part of the lateral border of the scapula
teres minor insertion
inferior facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus
teres minor innervation
Axillary Nerve (C5, C6)
teres minor action
laterally rotate the shoulder joint, and help to hold the humeral head in the cavity
teres major origin
inferior lateral border of the scapula and posterior surface of the inferior border of the scapula
teres major insertion
medial lip of the intertubercular sucus of the humerus
teres major innveration
lower subscapular nerve (C5, C6)
