A

Shoulder Extension: Moving the arm backward, similar to pulling movements.
Shoulder Adduction: Bringing the arm down toward the side of the body.
Internal Rotation of the Shoulder: Rotating the arm inward toward the body.

16
Q

Which is the the bottom teres

A

Major at bottom, minor at top

17
Q

What muscles make movement at wrist

A

Wrist flexor (side of palm up), wrist extensors (back of arm)

18
Q

What does the latissimus dorsi do

A

Shoulder Extension: Moving your arm backward, (e.g., rowing or pulling up).
Shoulder Adduction: Bringing your arm down towards your body from the side
Shoulder Internal Rotation: Rotating your arm inward toward the body, like turning your palm toward your body while keeping your arm straight.
For pulling movements, such as climbing or swimming.

19
Q

What do the rhomboids do + where located?

A

Between shoulder blades. Scapular Retraction: Pulling the shoulder blades (scapulae) together towards the spine, like when you squeeze your shoulder blades together.
Scapular Elevation: Lifting the shoulder blades slightly upward.
Scapular Downward Rotation: Rotating the shoulder blades downward, such as when lowering your arms from an overhead position.

20
Q

Function + whereabouts of infraspinatus

A

Back of shoulder blade. External Rotation of the Arm: It helps rotate the arm outward, away from the body, similar to the teres minor.
Stabilizing the Shoulder Joint: helps hold the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) securely in the shoulder socket, providing stability during arm movements.
This muscle is especially important for movements like throwing, reaching behind, or rotating the arm outward.

21
Q

Function of trapezius

A

Scapular Elevation: Lifting the shoulder blades, like when you shrug your shoulders.
Scapular Retraction: Pulling the shoulder blades together toward the spine.
Scapular Depression: Lowering the shoulder blades, like when you push your shoulders down.
Scapular Upward Rotation: Rotating the shoulder blades upward, which helps when you lift your arms above your head.
The trapezius also helps stabilize the neck and shoulders and supports movements like raising the arms, pulling, and lifting.

22
Q

Function of deltoids

A

Shoulder Flexion: Lifts the arm forward, like when reaching out in front of you.
Internal Rotation: Rotates the arm inward toward the body.
Shoulder Abduction: Lifts the arm out to the side, as in raising your arm up from the side.
Shoulder Extension: Moves the arm backward, like when pulling something behind you.
External Rotation: Rotates the arm outward, away from the body.

23
Q

Whereabouts + function of sternocleidomastoid

A

Front of neck. Head Flexion: bringing your chin toward your chest.
Head Rotation: Turning the head to the opposite side
Lateral Flexion: bringing the ear closer to the shoulder on the same side.
This muscle is crucial for movements and stabilization of the head and neck, and it plays a role in posture and head positioning.
