Back OINA(B) Flashcards
trapezius orgin
Superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, C1-C6 via ligamnetum nuchae, C7-T12 spinous process
trapezius insertion
spine of scapula, lateral third of clavicle, and acrominion process
trapezius action
superior fibers: elevate scapula and clavicle, middle fibers: retract and adduct scapula, inferior fibers: depress scapula and clavicle
trapezius nerve
spinal accessory nerve
trapezius blood supply
transverse cervical artery
latissimus dorsi orgin
Spinous process of T7-T12, L1-L5, sacrum, and posterior iliac crest via thoracolumbar fascia
latissimus dorsi insertion
floor of the bicipital groove of the humerus
latissimus dorsi action
extends, medially rotates, and adducts arm
latissimus dorsi innervation
thoracodorsal nerve
latissimus dorsi blood supply
thoracodorsal artery
levator scapulae orgin
C1-C4 transverse processes
levator scapulae insertion
superior border of scapula
levator scapulae action
elevates scapula, depresses lateral angle, helps pull scapula medially and superiorly, bend/flex the neck laterally and rotate to same side as acting muscle
levator scapulae nerve
dorsal scapular nerve
rhomboid major orgin
T2-T5 spinous processes
rhomboid major insertion
medial border of scapula
rhomboid major action
retracts the scapula, slightly elevates the scapula, and posteriorly rotates the scapula towards humerus
rhomboid major innervation
dorsal scapular nerve
rhomboid major blood supply
dorsal scapular artery
rhomboid minor orgin
C7-T1 spinous processes
rhomboid minor insertion
medial border of scapula
rhomboid minor action
retracts/adducts scapula, elevates, and roates scapula to direct the glenoid cavity inferiorly
rhomboid minor nerve
dorsal scapular nerve
serratus posterior superior orgin
Ligamentum nuchae, spinous processes of seventh cervical and first few thoracic vertebrae.
serratus posterior superior insertion
Superior borders of ribs 2-5, medial to their angles.
serratus posterior superior action
Assists in elevating/raising ribs in inspiration (slightly increasing the
diameter of thorax)
serratus posterior superior nerve
Ventral rami of first few thoracic nerves (T1-T4 intercostal nerves)
serratus posterior inferior orgin
Spinous processes of T11-T12 and L1-L3
serratus posterior inferior insertion
Inferior borders of ribs 9-12 near their angles.
serratus posterior inferior action
Pulls ribs slightly inferiorly, resisting the pull of the diaphragm
(preventing them from being pulled superiorly by the diaphragm);
depression of the ribs during forced expiration
