Muscle Anatomy Flashcards
Origin and insertion of latissimus dorsi?
Origin: spinous process of T7 to LV and sacrum, iliac crest, ribs 10 to 12 Inserts: floor or intertubercular sulcus of humerus (anterior aspect of humerus) Posterior origin to anterior insertion
What movement does the lat dorsi allow?
- Extends humerus
- Adducts humerus
- Medially rotates humerus
Posterior origin to anterior insertion
Innervation of lat dorsi?
Thoracodorsal nerve (C6 to C8)

Origin of pec major?
2 parts; clavicular and sternocostal part
Clavicular part: originates from anterior surface of medial 1/2 of clavicle
Sternocostal part: originates from anterior surface of sternum and costal cartilage of ribs 1-6
Insertion of pec major?
Both clavicular and sternocostal parts have same insertion point –> inserts on the (bicipital groove and deltoid tuberosity of the) humerus
I.e. clavicle and sternum to arm
What movement does the pec major allow?
- Flexion of humerus (e.g. throwing ball underhand) –> as clavicular fibres contract and pull humerus up
- Adduction of humerus (e.g. flapping arms) –> as fibres contract and pull the humerus towards the body
- Rotates humerus medially (e.g. arm wrestling)
Also keeps arm attached to trunk of body

Origin of pec minor?
Anterior surface of ribs 3-5
Insertion of pec minor?
Coracoid process of scapula
I.e. ribs to shoulder blade
What movement does pec minor allow?
- Stabilises scapula
- Assists in protraction
- Pulls tip of shoulder down
- Retraction
- Elevates ribs for deep inspiration when shoulder girdle is fixed

Origin and insertion of serratus anterior?
Origin: Lateral surfaces of ribs 1-8 or 9
Inserts: Costal surfaces of medial border of scapula
i.e. ribs to shoulder blade
What movement does serratus anterior allow?
- Protraction of scapula
- Assist in respiration when fixed shoulder girdle
