Muscles Of Back And Pectoral Region Flashcards
Shape of Trapezius
Triangular
Nerve supply to Trapezius
Spinal Part of Accessory Nerve
Action of Trapezius
- Elevation of Scapula (along with Levator Scapulae)
- Retraction of Scapula (along with Rhomboid Major and Minor)
- Overhead abduction of Shoulder joint (along with Serratus anterior)
0 - 15 degree Abduction of Shoulder Joint is done by
Supraspinatus
15 - 90 degree Abduction of Shoulder Joint is done by
Middle / Acromial Fibres of Deltoid Muscle
90 - 180 degree of Abduction of Shoulder Joint is done by
Trapezius + Serratus anterior
i.e; Overhead abduction of Shoulder Joint
Abduction of Shoulder Joint involves
By degree
Gleno-Humeral Elevation - 120°
Scapular Rotation - 60°
i.e; 2 : 1
Levator scapulae is supplied by
- C3 - C4
2. C5 — Dorsal scapular nerve
Rhomboid Major and Minor supplied by
C5 — Dorsal Scapular Nerve
Triangle of Auscultation; Boundaries
Medially -
Laterally -
Base -
Medially - Trapezius
Laterally - Medial Border of Scapula
Base - Latissimus dorsi
Triangle of Auscultation is used for
Auscultation of Lower lobe of Lung sound and Cardiac Orifice
Boundaries for Lumbar Triangle of Petit
Anterior -
Posterior -
Base -
Anterior - External oblique muscle
Posterior - Latissimus dorsi
Base - Iliac Crest
Lumbar triangle of Petit is Potential site for
Internal hernia
Muscle forming the boundary for both Lumbar triangle of Petit and Triangle of auscultation
Lattisimus dorsi
Actions of Serratus anterior
- Protraction of Scapula (along with Pectoralis minor)
2. Overhead abduction of Shoulder (along with Trapezius)
Nerve supply for Serratus anterior
C5, C6, C7 — Long thoracic nerve
Root value of Long Thoracic Nerve-
Also known as
Nerve of Bell — C5, C6, C7
Winging of Scapula is due to
Serratus anterior > Trapezius
Injury to Long Thoracic Nerve → Palsy of Serratus anterior
Action of Lattisimus dorsi
Adduction
Medial Rotation
Extension
Action of Pectoralis major
Adduction
Medial rotation
Flexion
Teres major is supplied by
Lower Subscapular Nerve
Subscapularis muscle is supplied by
Upper and Lower Subscapular Nerve
Branch of Posterior cord of Brachial Plexus
Content of DeltoPectoral Groove
Cephalic Vein
Clavipectoral fascia is present between
Clavicle and Pectoralis minor muscle
Muscles enclosed by Clavipectoral fascia
Subclavius muscle and Pectoralis minor muscle
Ligaments derived from the Clavipectoral Fascia
- Suspensory ligament of Axilla - Gerdy’s Ligament
2. Costo-Coracoid ligament (1st costal cartilage to coracoid process)
Structures piercing the Clavipectoral Fascia;
1.
2.
3.
- Cephalic Vein
- Lateral Pectoral Nerve
- ThoracoAcromial Artery
Action of Pectoralis minor muscle
Protraction of Scapula (along with Serratus anterior)
Pectoralis minor - No action at shoulder joint
