Muscles of the Shoulder and Arm Flashcards
Origin of the supraspinatus
Supraspinous fossa
Insertion of the supraspinatus
Greater/lesser tubercles of the humerus
Action of the supraspinatus
Extend and stabilize shoulder
Innervation of supraspinatus
suprascapular nerve
Blood supply of supraspinatus
suprascapular, caudal circumflex humeral, collateral arteries
Origin of infraspinatus
Infraspinous fossa
Insertion of infraspinatus
greater tubercle of humerus
Innervation of infraspinatus
suprascapular nerve
Blood supply of infraspinatus
Suprascapular branches
Function of infraspinatus
flex and stabilize the shoulder
The tendon of which muscle creates a bursa over the greater tubercle of the humerus, which acts to reduce friction
Infraspinatus
Origin of the deltoid m
Spine of the scapula +/- acromion
Insertion of the deltoid m
Deltoid tuberosity
Action of the deltoid m
flex, abduct and stabilize the shoulder
Innervation of deltoid m
Axillary n
Blood supply of deltoid m
Subscapular branches
Origin of teres major m
Caudal border (caudal angle) of scapula
Insertion of teres major m
teres major tuberosity of the humerus
Innervation of teres major m
Axillary n
Blood supply of teres major m
Subscapular a and collateral branches
Action of teres major m
Flex shoulder
Origin of subscapularis m
subscapular fossa
Insertion of subscapularis m
lesser tubercle of humerus
