omotransversarius
O: wing, or transverse process, of the atlas (cervical vertebra 1)
I: distal end of the spine of the scapula
A: advance the limb; flex the neck laterally
trapezius
O: median fibrous raphe of the neck; supraspinous ligament
I: spine of the scapula
A: elevate and abduct limb at the shoulder
rhomboideus
O: base of skull (nuchal crest
of occipital bone);
median fibrous raphe of neck; spinous process of thoracic vertebrae
I: dorsal border of scapula
A: elevate limb; draw scapula against trunk
latissimus dorsi
O: thoracolumbar fascia; last 2 - 3 ribs
I: teres major tuberosity of the humerus via the teres major tendon
A: draw limb caudally (e.g., digging); flex shoulder
serratus ventralis
O: ribs; transverse processes of cervical vertebrae
I: serrated face of the scapula
A: support trunk; depress scapula
deltoideus
O: spine and acromial process of the scapula
I: deltoid tuberosity of the humerus
A: flex shoulder
infraspinatus
O: infraspinous fossa of the scapula
I: lateral side of the greater tubercule of the humerus (small, circumscribed area)
A: laterally stabilizes the shoulder (prevents medial rotation while weight bearing); abduct and laterally rotate shoulder; assists other muscles in the extension or flexion of shoulder
teres minor
O: infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula; distal caudal border of the scapula
I: teres minor tuberosity of the humerus
A: laterally stabilizes the shoulder (prevents medial rotation while weightbearing); laterally rotate shoulder; flex shoulder (assists other muscles)
supraspinatus
O: supraspinous fossa of the scapula
I: greater tubercle of the humerus (thick tendon)
A: laterally stabilizes the shoulder (prevents medial rotation while weightbearing); extend shoulder
subscapularis
O: subscapular fossa of the scapula
I: lesser tubercle of the humerus
A: medially stabilizes the shoulder (prevents lateral rotation while weightbearing); adduct shoulder; extend shoulder
teres major
O: caudal angle and caudal border of the scapula; subscapularis muscle
I: teres major tuberosity of the humerus
A: flex shoulder; rotate arm medially
coracobrachialis
O: coracoid process of the scapula
I: crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus, near the teres major tuberosity
A: mainly a shoulder
stabilizer, but can assist
other muscles in adduction and/or extension of the shoulder
tensor fasciae antebrachii
O: fascia covering the lateral surface of the latissimus dorsi muscle
I: olecranon of the ulna, in
common with the tendon of insertion of the triceps brachii muscle
A: extend elbow
triceps brachii
O: caudal border of scapula (long head); tricipital line, proximal humerus (lateral head)
neck, lesser tubercle (accessory) , and crest of the lesser tubercle (medial head)
I: olecranon of ulna
A: flex shoulder (long head); extend elbow (all heads)
anconeus
O: lateral supracondylar crest of the humerus; lateral and medial
epicondyles of the
humerus
I: proximal and lateral aspect of the ulna
A: extend elbow
biceps brachii
O: supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
I: radial and ulnar tuberosities
A: extend shoulder; flex elbow
brachialis
O: proximal and lateral aspect of the humerus
I: radial and ulnar tuberosities
A: flex elbow
extensor carpi radialis
O: lateral supracondylar crest of the humerus
I: metacarpal tuberosities (dorsal aspect) of MC II and III
A: extend carpus
common digital extensor
O: lateral epicondyle of the humerus
I: extensor processes of the distal phalanx of digits II, III, IV, and V
A: extend the joints of the four principal digits
lateral digital extensor
O: lateral epicondyle of the humerus
I: extensor processes of the distal phalanx of digits III, IV, and V; proximal ends of all phalanges of same digits
A: extend the joints of digits III, IV, and V
