what are the insertions of the rotator cuff muscles?
- supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor insert into greater tubercle of humerus

where do all the rotator cuff muscles originate from?
scapula

which muscles contribute to the pectoral/ shoulder girdle?
- trapezius
- levator scapulae
- rhomboid minor
- rhomboid major
function of the trapezius
elevation and depression of scapula, rotates scapula during abduction of humerus
function of levator scapulae
elevates scapula
what is the origin and insertion of the trapezius muscle?
originates from skull, superior nuchal line and the spinous processes of C7-T12, inserts into spine of scapula
function of rhomboid major and minor
elevate and retract scapula
what is the innervation of lattisimus dorsi?
thoracodorsal nerve
what is the function of lattisimus dorsi?
extend, adduct and medially rotate humerus
origin and insertion of deltoid
originates from inferior edge of scapula, lateral margin of acromion, anterior border of 1/3 of clavicle, inserts into deltoid tuberosity of humerus
what nerve innervates the deltoid muscle?
axillary
function of the deltoid
abduct the arm beyond the initial 15’ achieved by the supraspinatus
