muscles of the Upper limb Flashcards
Deltoid distal attachment
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Deltoid origin
Lateral third of the clavicle, acromion and spine of the scapula
Deltoid innervation
Axillary nerve C5, C6
Deltoid actions
anterior part flexes and medially rotates shoulder joint, middle abducts shoulder joint, posterior extends and laterally rotates shoulder joint
Supraspinatus proximinal attachment
supraspinous fossa of scapula
Infraspinatus proximal attachment
Infraspinatus fossa of scapula
teres minor proximal attachment
middle part of lateral border of scapula
teres major proximal attachment
Inferior part of lateral border of scapula and posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula
Subscapularis proximal attachment
Subscapular fossa (most of the anterior surface)
Supraspinatus distal attachment
Superior facet of the grater tubercle of humerus
Infraspinatus distal attachment
middle facet of the greater tubercle of humerus
Teres minor distal attachment
inferior facet of the greater tubercle of humerus
teres major distal attachment
medial lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Subscapularis distal attachment
lesser tubercle of humerus
Supraspinatus innervation
Suprascapular nerve C4, C5, C6
Infraspinatus innervation
Suprascapular nerve C5, C6
Teres major innervation
lower subscapular nerve C5, C6
subscapularis innervation
Upper and lower subscapular nerves C5, C6, C7
Supraspinatus actions
Initiates and assists deltoid in abduction of shoulder joint and acts with other rotator cuff muscles
Infraspinatus actions
Laterally rotate shoulder joint help hold humeral head in glenoid cavity of scapula
teres minor actions
Laterally rotate shoulder joint, help hold humeral head in glenoid cavity of scapula
teres major actions
Adducts and medially rotates shoulder joint
Subscapularis actions
Medially rotates and adducts shoulder joint helps hold humeral head in glenoid cavity.
Teres minor innervation
Axillary nerve C5, C6
