(9. Sternocephalicus - Sternohyoideus)
Superficial pectoral
OIAI
O = First 2 sternebrae, usually part of the 3rd; the fibrous raph between adjacent muscles I = Whole crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus A = Adduct the limb when not weight bearing or prevent limb being ABducted when weight bearing I = Cranial pectoral nerves: C7, C8
Deep pectoral muscle
O = Ventral part of sternum I = Medial aspect of humerus A = move trunk cranially and extend the shoulder joint. When non weight bearing to draw limb caudally and flex shoulder joint. To ADDUCT limb I = Caudal pectoral nerves C8, T1
Brachiocephalicus
O = Cervico-thoracic fascia I = Distal third of humerus A = Protractor, shoulder extender, draw neck and head to sides I = Accessory nerve and ventral branches of cervical
Omotransversarius
O = Transverse wing of atlas (C1) I = Acromion process A = LAteral movement, flexion of neck, protractor I = Accessory nerve
Trapezius
O = Median raphe of neck and the supraspinous ligament from C3 to T9 I = Spine A = Elevate and ABDUCT forelimb I = Accessory nerve
Rhomboideus
Lies under traps
has capital, cervical and thoracic part
O =
Rhomboideus capitis = attaches cranial dorsal border of S to nuchal crest of occipital bone
Rhomboideus Cervicis = median fibrous raphe of neck
Thoracic = spinous process of the first 7 TV
I = medial aspect of dorsal border
A = ABDUCT
I = Ventral branches of cervical and thoracic spinal nerves
Latissimus dorsi
O = Thoracolumbar Fascia covering spinous process T7-L7 I = Teres major tuberosity of humerus + teres major tendon A = Flex shoudler joint, adduct, RETRACTOR I = Thoracodorsal nerves C7, C8 T1
Serratus Ventralis
Serratus ventralis cervicis and serratus ventralis thoracis
O = Transverse process of last 5 cervical vertebrae and first 7/8 ribs ventral to their middle
I = Faces serrata
A = Support trunk and depress scapula
I = Ventral branches of cervical spinal nerves and the long thoracic nerve C7
Sternocephalicus
O = first sternebrae (manubrium) I = mastoid part of temporal bone and nuchal crest of ocipital bone A= move head and neck laterally I = Accessory nerve and ventral branches of the cervical spinal nerves
What muscles are innovated by the accessory nerve
Brachiocephalic, omotransversarius, Trapezius, sternocephalicus
What muscles are innovated by the ventral branches of the cervical spinal nerves
- Sternocephalicus, Serratus Ventralis, rhomboideus Brachiocephalicus
what muscles insert onto the medial aspect of the humerus?
Brachiocephalicus and deep pectoral
What msucle origionates from: Median raphe of neck and the supraspinous ligament from C3 to T9
Traps
What muscle inserts onto the spine adn what acromion
spine = traps A = omo
