Back Muscles- Action, Origin, Insertion, Etc Flashcards
Latissimus Dorsi- Origin and Insertion
Origin: T7-T12 spinous process; Thoracolumbar Fascia; inferior scapular angle; ribs 9-12
Insertion: Floor of the intertubercular groove (humerous)
Latissimus Dorsi- Action
Extends, adducts, medially rotates shoulder; raises body toward arms when hanging
Latissimus Dorsi- innervation
Thoracodorsal n. (C6-C8)
Latissimus Dorsi- supply
thoracodorsal a.
Trapezius- origin and insertion
Origin: Medial 1/3 of superior nuchal line; External occipital protuberance; Ligamentum nuchae; C7-T12 spinous process
Insertion: Lateral 1/3 of clavicle; acromin; scapular spine
Trapezius- action
Elevates, depresses, and retracts scapula and rotates glenoid fossa; Steadies scap to thoracic wall; unilaterally flexes to the same side
Trapezius- innervation
Cranial Nerve XI (spinal accessory nerve); C3-4 pain and proprioception
Trapezius- supply
Transverse cervical a.
Levator scapulae- Origin and insertion
Origin: C1-C4 transverse process
Insertion: Superior angle
Levator scapulae- action
Elevates scapula; rotates glenoid fossa inferiorly; unilat flex of neck to same side
Levator scapulae- innervation
Dorsal scapular n. (C5); C3-4 spinal nerves
Levator scapulae- supply
Dorsal scapular a.
Rhomboid major- origin and insertion
Origin: T2-T5 spinous process
Insertion: Medial border of scapula
Rhomboid major- Action
Retracts scap; rotates glenoid fossa inferiorly; steadies scapula to thoracic wall
Rhomboid major- Innervation
Dorsal scapular n. (C5)
Rhomboid major- supply
Dorsal scapular a.
Rhomboid minor- origin and insertion
Origin: Ligamentum nuchae, C7-T1 spinous process
Insertion: Medial border of scapula (root of scap spine)
Rhomboid minor- Action
Shared with the major, only difference is this one unilaterally inclines neck to the same side
Rhomboid minor- Innervation
