Chapter 12 Flashcards
what is the role of appendicular skeleton muscles
to move upper and lower limbs and stabilize the pectoral and pelvic girdle
how are appendicular muscles organized
- based on the location in the body
- the part of the skeleton they move
what are the organized groups of the muscles of the upper extremities
- muscles that move the pectoral girdle
- muscles that move the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint/arm
- muscles of the arm and forearm that move the elbow joint/forearm
- muscles of the forearm that move the wrist joint, hand, and fingers
what are the two parts of the muscles that move the pectoral girdle
the anterior and posterior muscles
what is the function of the muscles that move the pectoral girdle
stabilize the scapula during activities of the upper limb
anterior muscles of the muscles that move the pectoral girdle
- pectoralis minor
- serratus anterior
- subclavius
posterior muscles of the muscles that move the pectoral girdle
- trapezius
- levator scapulae
- rhomboid minor
- rhomboid major
pectoralis minor origin and insertion
o: ribs 3-5
i: coracoid process
innervation of pectoralis minor
pectoral nerve
actions of pectoralis minor
actions: moves scapula forward (protraction), depress scapula
serratus anterior origin and insertion
o: ribs 1-8
i: anterior medial border of scapula
what is the serratus anterior innervated by
long thoracic nerve
actions of the serratus anterior
- agonist of protraction of pectoral girdle/scapula
- superiorly rotates scapula
- stabilizes scapula
what is the “boxer’s muscle”
the serratus anterior
subclavius origin and insertion
o: rib 1
i: interior border of clavicle
what is the subclavius innervated by
nerve of subclavius
actions of the subclavius
depression of clavicle, stabilize clavicle
trapezius origin and insertion
o: superior nuchal line
i: clavicle, acromion process + spine of scapula
what is the trapezius innervated by
accessory nerve
actions of the trapezius
- superior fibers: elevate + superiorly rotate scapula
- middle fibers: retract scapula
- inferior fibers: depresses scapula
levator scapulae origin and insertion
o: transverse process of C1-C4
i: superior part of medial border of scapula
what is the levator scapulae innervated by
dorsal scapular nerve
actions of the levator scpulae
elevation of the scapula, inferiorly rotate scapula
rhomboid minor origin and insertion
o: spinous process of C7-T1
i: medial border of scapula superior to the spine of scapula
