Dorsal Scapular Region POINAS Flashcards
Deltoid (Purposeful Activities)
Doing yoga poses with arms overhead (all fibers), reaching for (anterior fibers) and putting on (posterior fibers) a seat belt
Deltoid Clavicular [anterior] (Main Actions)
Flexes and medially rotates arm
Deltoid Acromial [middle] (Main Actions)
Abducts arm
Deltoid Spinal [posterior] (Main Actions)
extends and laterally rotates arm
Deltoid (Proximal Attachments)
Lateral 1/3 clavicle, acromion, and spine of scapula (begins where the trap ends)
Deltoid (Distal Attachments)
(somewhere on humerous) ill update later
Deltoid (Nerve Innervation)
Axillary nerve (C5, C6)
Pectoralis Major (Purposeful Activity)
Reaching across the body into an overhead cabinet, putting on a seatbelt
Pectoralis Major (Main Actions)
Addults and medially rotates humerus; draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly: HADD/ horizontal adduction
Acting alone, calvicular head flexes humerus and sternocostal head extends it from the flexed position
Pectoralis Major (Proximal Attachments)
- Clavicular head: medial half of clavicle
- Sternocostal head: anterior surface of sternum, superior six costal cartilages, and external oblique muscle
Pectoralis Major (Distal Attachments)
Lateral hip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Pectoralis Major (Nerve Innervation)
Lateral and medial pactoral nerves; clavicular head (C5, C6) and sternocostal head (C7, C8, T1)
Pectoralis Mnior (Purposeful Activities)
Taking a deep breath, walking with crutches
Pectoralis Minor (Main Actions)
Stabilizes scapula by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall
With the scapula fixed: assists to elevate the thorax during forced inhalation
Pectoralis Minor (Proximal Attachments)
Third, fourth, and fifth ribs near their costal cartilage
Pectoralis Minor (Distal Attachments)
Coracoid process
Pectoralis Minor (Nerve Innervation)
Medial pectoral nerve (C8, T1); lateral pectoral nerve (variable innervation)
Infraspinatus (Purposeful Activities)
Playing racket sports or table tennis
Infraspinatus (Main Actions)
- Externally rotate the shoulder (GHJ)

Teres Major (Nerve Innervation)
Lower subscapular nerve (C5, C6)
Supraspinatus (Purposeful Activities)
Painting overhead or washing your hair
Supraspinatus (Main Actions)
- Initiates and assists deltoid in abduction of arm
- Stabilize the head of humerus in glenoid cavity, along with other SITS muscles
Supraspinatus (Proximal Attachments)
Supraspinous fossa of the scapula
Supraspinatus (Distal Attachments)
Greater tubercle of humerus
Supraspinatus (Nerve Innervation)
Suprascapular nerve (C4, C5, C6)
Teres Minor (Purposeful Activities)
Washing the back of head and neck
Teres Minor (Main Actions)
- Externally rotate the shoulder (GHJ)
- Stabilize the head of humerus in glenoid cavity

Lateral border of the scapula
Teres Minor (Distal Attachments)
Greater tubercle of humerus
Teres Minor (Nerve Innervation)
Axillary nerve (C5, C6)
Subscapularis (Purposeful Activities)
Toileting, donning a bra, or throwing a baseball
Subscapularis (Main Actions)
- Internally rotate the shoulder (GHJ)
- Stabilize the head of humerus in glenoid cavity
Subscapularis (Proximal Attachments)
Subscapular fossa
Subscapularis (Distal Attachments)
Lesser tuberosity of humerus
Subscapularis (Nerve Innervation)
Upper and lower subscapular (C5,C6,C7)
Serratus Anterior (Purposeful Activities)
Pushing open a heavy door
Serratus Anterior (Main Actions)
- Protracts the scapula (ST joint) ex: serratus punches
- Upwardly rotates the scapula (ST joint)
- Holds scapula against thoracic wall
Serratus Anterior (Proximal Attachments)
Lateral parts of upper 8 or 9 ribs
Serratus Anterior (Distal Attachments)
Anterior surface of medial border of scapula
Serratus Anterior (Nerve Innervation)
