A

floor of intertubercle groove of the humerus (bicipital groove)

23
Q

What is the action of latissimus dorsi

A

extension
medial rotation
adduction of the upper limb (pull up muscle)

24
Q

What is the innervation of the latissimus dorsi

A

Thoracodorsal nerve (C6-C8) off the brachial plexus

25
Q

What is the blood supply of latissimus dorsi

Q

What muscles are involved in the 2nd layer of superficial back

A

serratus posterior superior and serratus posterior inferior

27
Q

Axillary dissection of lymph nodes can affect the latissimus dorsi how

A

dissection leads to risk of damaging thoracodorsal nerve, which will affect the latissimus dorsi if cut
weakness in adduction, extension, and medial rotation
