Back Myology Flashcards
Trapezius M. Origin and insertion
Spinous process of C7 to C12, ligamentum Nuchae, External Occipital Protuberance and Medial 1/3 of Superior Nuchal line of Occipital B.
Lateral 1/3 of the clavicle, acromion and scapular spine
Trapezius Action
Whole muscle (Rotate point of the Glenoid Cavity
superiorly, Retract the Scapula), Upper fibers (Elevate Scapula),
Lower fibers (Depress Scapula) With the Scapula fixed the
Upper fibers will Extend the Neck working bilaterally, Laterally
Flex the Neck and Rotate the Face away when working
unilaterally
