Subclavious
Serratus anterior
Pectoralis Major function?
insertion: Lat. lip bicipital groove
Flexion, Adduction and medial rot. shoulder
Serratus anterior function?
insertion: med border scapula
rotation of scapula
What are posterior superficials Axio-appendicular muscles?

Latissimus dorsi
What are deep axis-appendicular muscles?
Levator scapulae, Rhomboids major/minor
Trapezius function?
insertion: spine and acromion scapula, lat. clavicle
Rotation of scapula (lift scapula) along with Serratus Ant.
*accessory n.
Latissimus dorsi function?
insertion: floor of bicipital groove
Extension, adduction and medial rotation of shoulder
*thoracodorsal n.
What are deep axio-appendicular Posterior muscles?
Levator scapulae, rhomboid major/ minor:
medial border scapula- elevates and retracts scapula
What are scapula-humeral muscles?
they pass from scapula to humerus (acts on shoulder)
- DELTOID
- TERES Major
Deltoid features?
inserted in deltoid tuberosity
Flexion/ medial rotation of shoulder (ant. fibers)
Abduction of shoulder (lateral)
Extension/ lateral rotation shoulder (post. fibers)
innervated by: Axillary n.
Rotator cuff muscles
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres minor
- subscapularis
Function of rotator cuff muscles?
supraspinatous: abduction 0-30 deg
infraspinatus, teres minor= lat. rotation of shoulder
subscapularis: adduction/ medial rotation
Identify muscles of anterior compartment of arm
They are Flexors
Biceps brachii
Brachialis
Coracobrachialis
identify action of these muscles
Biceps b: inserted in radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis
-Supinates forearm and flexes elbow when supinated
Brachialis: Flexes elbow
Coracobrachialis: shaft of humerus medially- Flexes and adducts shoulder
Brachialis is supplied?
by musculocutaneous n. and radial n. (don’t get paralyzed due to these 2 supply)
What are the Posterior compartment of the Arm muscles?
- Triceps brachii
- Anconeous
