brachial plexus
Scapulohumeral (Intrinsic) Musculature includes (2)
- deltoid
* teres major
Rotator Cuff Muscles (4)
- subscapularis
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
Deltoid: Proximal Attachment (3)
lateral 1/3 of clavicle,
acromion,
spine of scapula
Deltoid:
Distal attachment
deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Deltoid:
Actions
flexes, medially rotates, abducts, extends, and laterally rotates humerus
Deltoid:
Innervation
axillary nerve (C5, C6)
Teres major:
Proximal Attachment
posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula
Teres major:
Distal Attachment
medial lip of intertubercular (bicipital) groove of humerus
Teres major:
Actions
adducts and medially rotates humerus
Teres major:
Innervation
-lower subscapular nerve (C5, C6)
Supraspinatus:
Proximal Attachment
supraspinous fossa of scapula
Supraspinatus:
Distal Attachment
superior facet of greater tubercle of humerus
Supraspinatus:
Actions (2)
works with deltoid in abduction of humerus,
acts with other rotator cuff muscles in stabilizing shoulder joint
Supraspinatus:
Innervation
-suprascapular nerve (C4, C5, C6)
