Back Inferior to C7 Flashcards
Trapezius Origin
Medial Third of superior nuchal line; external occipital protuberance; nuchal ligament; spinous processes of C7-T12 vertebrae
Trapezius Insertion
Lateral third of clavicle; acromion; spine of scapula
Trapezius Innervation
Spinal Accessory Nerve (XI: motor fibers); C3,C4 spinal nerves (pain and proprioceptive fibers)
Trapezius Action
Descending fibers elevate scapula; ascending fibers depress scapula; Middle or all parts retract scapula; descending and ascending fibers rotate glenoid cavity superiorly
Trapezius Roots
C3;C4
Latissimus Dorsi Origin
Spinous Processes of inferior 6 thoracic vertebrae; thoracolumbar fascia; iliac crest; inferior 3 or 4 ribs
Latissimus Dorsi Insertion
Floor of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Latissimus Dorsi Innervation
Thoracodorsal Nerve (C6;C7:C8)
Latissimus Dorsi Action
Extends, Adducts, and medially rotates humerus; raises body towards arms during climbing
Latissimus Dorsi Roots
C6;C7:C8
Rhomboid Minor Origin
Nuchal Ligament; Spinous processes of C7 and T1 vertebrae
Rhomboid Minor Insertion
Smooth triangular area at medial end of scapular spine
Rhomboid Major Origin
Spinous processes of T2-T5 vertebrae
Rhomboid Major Insertion
Medial border of scapula from level of spine to inferior angle
Rhomboid Minor and Major Innervation
Dorsal Scapular nerve (C4,C5)
Rhomboid Minor and Major Roots
C4,C5
Levator Scapulae Origin
Posterior tubercles of transverse processes of C1-C4 vertebrae
Levator Scapulae Insertion
Medial border of scapula superior to root of scapular spine
