Neck and Superficial Thorax Muscles To Know Flashcards
Trapezius attachments
funicular portion of nuchal ligament to scapular spine
Rhomboideus
nuchal ligament and dososcapular ligament C2-T8 to scapular cartilage
Omotransversarius attachments
shoulder fascia to transverse processes of cervical vertebrea (c2-c4); if something is attaching to multiple CV its omotransversarius
Splenius attachments
funicular portion nuchal ligament from withers to poll, transverse processes of cervical vertebrea
subclavius attachments
often considered component of deep pectoral muscle; manubrium and sternum to supraspinatus and shoulder fascia; lies cr to cr aspect of scapula
Omohyoideus attachments
shoulder fascia to basihyoid
Sternocephalicus attachments
manubrium to cd border of mandible
Sternothyroideus attachments
manubrium to thyroid cartilgage
Sternohyoideus attachments
manubrium to basihyoid
Serratus ventralis attachments
transverse processes of cervical vertebrea c4-c7, first 8-9 ribs, dorso-medial scapula
Latissimus dorsi attachments
thoracolumbar fascia to teres major tuberosity (medial humerus); extrinsic limb muscle
Cutaneous trunci
innervated by lateral thoracic nerve; makes skin twitch in response insects/ stimuli ect
brachiocephalicus fx
extends the limbs if the limb fixed will pull head to the side
scaleneus attachments
1st rib to transverse process of CV
serratus ventralis fx
suspends trunk, raises neck when forelimb is fixed, supports inspiration
omohyoideus fx
synergistic with hyoid muscles to retract laryxn
rhomboideus fx
elevates neck and draws scapula dorsocranially; draws dorsal end of scapula toward midline
scalenus fx
flexes neck or bends it laterally
Longissimus attachments
transverse processes to skull, wing of atlas, other transverse processes
