Back Insertion Ect Flashcards
Trapezius insertion
Spine and acromion scapula
Trapezius origin
Medial 1/3 of superior line, nuchal ligament, spinous processes of c7-t12 vertebrae
Trapezius innervation
Spinal accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI)
Trapezius action
Superior = elevation
Middle = retracts
Inferior = depresses scapula
Superior and inferior =!rotate shoulder joint superiorly
Latissimus dorsi origin
Spinous processes of t6-t12, thoracolumbar fascia and iliac crest
Latissimus dorsi insertion
Inferior intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Latissimus dorsi innervation
Thoracodorsal nerve (c6-c8 anterior rami)
Latissimus dorsi action
Extends, adducts and medially rotates the humerus
Levator scapulae insertion
Transverse processes of c1-c4
Levator scapulae insertion
Medial border of scapula, superior to route of scapular spine
Levator scapulae innervation
Dorsal scapular nerve (c5 anterior ramus route) and c3, 4 anterior rami
Levator scapulae action
Elevates scapula, rotates glenoid cavity inferiorly
Rhomboid major origin
Spinous processes of t2-t5
Rhomboid major insertion
Medial border of scapula
Rhomboid major innervation
Dorsal scapular nerve (c5 anterior rami)
Rhomboid major action
Retract scapula and rotate it to depress glenoid cavity; fix scapula to thoracic wall
Rhomboid minor origin
Nuchal ligament and spinous processes of c7 and t1
Rhomboid minor insertion
Medial end of scapular spine
Rhomboid minor innervation
Dorsal scapular nerve (c5 anterior rami)
Rhomboid minor action
Retract scapula and rotate it to depress glenoid cavity; fix scapula to thoracic wall
Serratus posterior superior origin
Nuchal ligament, spinous processes of c7-t3
Serratus posterior superior insertion
Ribs 2 and 4
Serratus posterior superior innervation
T2 and t5 anterior rami of spinal nerves
Serratus posterior superior action
Elevates ribs 2 to 4, but function is Propricoception during respiration
Serratus posterior inferior origin
Spinous processes of t11-l2
Serratus posterior inferior insertion
Ribs 8-12
Serratus posterior inferior innervation
T9 to t12 anterior rami of spinal nerves
Serratus posterior inferior action
Depresses ribs 8 to 12, but function is Proprioception during respiration
Splenius capitis origin
Nuchal ligament, spinous processes of c7 to t3/4
Splenius capitis insertion
Mastoid process and nuchal line
Splenius capitis innervation
Posterior rami of spinal nerves
