Lecture 7 Flashcards
Movements of scapula (6)
- Elevation
- Depression
- Protraction
- Retraction
- Lateral rotation
- Medial rotation
Muscles connecting scapula to trunk (5)
- Trapezius
- Rhomboids
- Levator scapulae
- Pectoralis minor
- Serratus anterior
Trapezius
Elevates, retracts and depresses scapula
Largest muscle affecting scapula
Diamond shaped
Rhomboids
Minor and major
Retract scapula: bring towards midline
Serratus anterior
Finger-like projections onto ribs
Attach from anterior surface of scapula to anterior surface of rubs
Brings scapula anteriorly into protraction
Strongest protractor of the scapula
Levator scapulae
Elevates scapula
Sternoclavicular joint
Attaching clavicle to sternum
Acromioclavicular joint
Attaching clavicle to shoulder
Movements of clavicle (5)
- Anteriorly
- Posteriorly
- Superiorly
- Inferiorly
- Rotation
When scapula moves, so does the clavicle
Clavicle
Only boney connection from arm to axial skeleton
Muscles connecting humerus to trunk (2)
- Pectoralis major
2. Latissimus dorsi
Pectoralis major
Flexion, extension, adduction and medial rotation of arm
Anterior to chest, attaches to anterior aspect of arm
Latissimus dorsi
Extension, adduction and medial rotation of arm
Covers most of inferior back
Attached through narrow tendon anteriorly to humerus
Muscles that connect scapula and humerus (2)
- Deltoid
2. Rotator cuff muscles
Deltoid
Major abduction of the arm
Fan shaped muscle that encompasses shoulder
Rotator cuff muscles
4 of them
Tendons stabilize shoulder joint
