MSK_MT1_TBL6 (Back Muscles & Fasciae, Back Triangles, Suboccipital Triangle) Flashcards
Trapezius Muscles are made of (3)
- SUPERFICIAL* Extrinsic Muscle
1. Superior (descending) muscle
2. Middle (transverse) muscle
3. Inferior (ascending) muscle
Trapezius Superior Muscle Insertion
lateral 1/3 of the clavicle
Trapezius Middle Muscle Insertion (2)
- Acromion of Scapula
- Spine of Scapula
Trapezius Middle Muscle Origin
T1-T4
Trapezius Inferior Muscle Origin
T5 - T12
Trapezius Inferior Muscle Insertion
Medial Ends of spine of scapula
Trapezius Muscle Inervation
Cranial Nerve XI (11)
Spinal Nerves C3 & C4 (anterior rami, sensory fibers)
Traperzius Muscle Actions
- elevates scapula (shrugging motion)
- retracts and rotates scapula
- rotates the glenoid cavity
Traperzius Muscle Bilateral Action
- done by the superior descending muscle
- allows for the extension of the neck
Traperzius Muscle Unilateral Contraction
- flexion of the head to one side
Excercises for Trapezius
- upper portion developed through elevating shoulders
- middle portion developed bringing shoulder blades together (horizontal bar)
- lower portion developed by bringing shoulder blades down while keeping arms straight (parallel bars)
Latissimus dorsi Origin
Superficial Extrinsic Muscle
- posterior illiac crest
- sacral
- lumbar
- T7 - T12 (lower 6 thoracic)
Latissimus dorsi Insertion
Intertubericle (bicipital) groove of the humerous
Latissimus dorsi Functions
- extends
- adducts
- medially or internally rotates humerous
Latissimus dorsi Inervations
- Thoracodorsal nerve (C6-8 origin)
Excercises for Latissimus dorsi
- vericle pulling movements (pull ups and pull downs)
- horizontal pulling movements (rowing)
Levator scapulae muscle origin
Superficial Extrinsic Muscle
transverse process of C1-C4
Levator scapulae muscle insertion
upper portion of the medial border of the scapula
Levator scapulae muscle Innvervation
C3 & C4
dorsal scapular nerve (C5)
Levator scapulae muscle Functions
- Evevates scapula
- rotates the glenoic cavity inferiorly
Rhomboid Muscle Innervation
both the minor and major rhomboid muscles are innervated by the:
dorsal scapular nerve(C5)
Romboideus minor muscle Origin
originates at C7 + T1
Romboideus minor muscle Insertion
attaches at the medial border of the scapula (near the spine of the scapula)
Romboideus major muscle Origin
T2 - T5
Romboideus major muscle Insertion
Medial border of the scapula (the bottom half past the spine of the scapula)
Romboideus muscles Function
adducts scapula
inferior rotation of scapula
Excercises for Romboideus muscles
- pull ups and pull downs
- rowing
(same as Levator scapulae)
Serratus posterior superior Origin
Intermediate (Extrincic muscle)
- Nuchal Ligament
- C7 & T1-3
Serratus posterior superior Insertion
Intermediate Extrinsic muscle
Ribs 2-5
Serratus posterior superior Innervation
Intermidiate Extrinsic Muscle
Intercostal Nerves 2-5
Serratus posterior superior Functions
elevates the ribs = helps the lung to *inspire
