Appendicular Musculature (Ch 12) Flashcards
What are the muscles that move the scapula?
- Trapezius
2. Serrates Anterior
Trapezius
action:
- upper fibers elevate scapula
- middle fibers retract scapula
- lower fibers depress scapula
- all work together to rotate scapula
attachments: (O) C1-T12 vertebrae and (I) scapular spine/clavicle
Serrates Anterior
action: protracts and rotates scapula, holds scapula flat against body wall
attachments: (O) scapula and (I) ribs
What are the muscles that move the glenohumeral joint?
- Pectoralis Major
- Latissimus Dorsi
- Teres Major
Pectoralis Major
actions: adducts, flexes, and medically rotates arm
attachments: (O) sternum, clavicle, ribs and (I) humerus
Latissimus Dorsi
actions: adducts, extends, and medially rotates arm
attachments: (O) lower back and (I) humerus
Teres Major
actions: adduct, extend, and medially rotate arm (same as latissimus dorsi)
attachment: (O) scapula and (I) humerus
What are the muscles of the shoulder?
- Deltoid
- Rotator Cuff
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres Minor
- Subscapularis
Deltoid
actions: abducts, flexes/extends, rotates arm
attachments: (O) scapular spine, clavicle and (I) humerus
Rotator Cuff
- -> made up of four muscles (SITS)
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres Minor
- Subscapularis
Supraspinatus
- part of rotator cuff
actions: initiates abduction of arm (first 15 degrees)
attachments: (O) supraspinatus fossa of scapula and (I) humeral tuberosities
Infraspinatus
- part of rotator cuff
actions: laterally rotates arm
attachments: (O) infraspinatus fossa of scapula and (I) humeral tuberosities
Teres Minor
- part of rotator cuff
actions: laterally rotates arm
attachments: (I) infraspinatous fossa of scapula and (I) humeral tuberosities
Subscapularis
- part of rotator cuff
actions: medially rotates arm
attachments: (O) subscapular fossa of scapula and (I) humeral tuberosities
Shoulder Injuries
- common
- repetitive use/trauma
- -> usually supraspinatus muscle
What are the three muscles of the anterior arm?
- -> all are flexors of forearm/arm
1. Coracobrachialis
2. Brachialis
3. Biceps Brachii
Coracobrachialis
- anterior arm
actions: flexes arm
attachments: (O) scapula and (I) humerus
Brachialis
- anterior arm
actions: flexes forearm
attachments: (O) humerus and (I) ulna
Biceps Brachii
- anterior arm
actions: flexes and supinates forearm
attachments: (O) scapula and (I) radial tuberosity
What is the muscle of the posterior arm?
Triceps Brachii
Triceps Brachii
–> has long, medial, and lateral heads
actions:
long head- extends forearm/arm
medial/lateral heads- extends forearm
attachments:
long head- (O) scapula and (I) ulna (olecranon)
medal/lateral heads- (O) humerus and (I) ulna (olecranon)
Brachioradialis
- -> primarily located in the anterior compartment of forearm
action: flexes forearm
attachments: (O) humerus and (I) radius
What are the forearm muscles?
- Flexor Muscles (anterior compartment)
2. Extensor Muscles (posterior compartment)
Forearm Flexor Muscles
- -> in anterior compartment
action: flex wrist/digits
attachments: (O) humerus medial epicondyle and forearm (I) wrist and digits
