A

Transverse processes of cervical vertebrae

23
Q

where does the levator scapulae insert?

A

Superior angle of scapula

24
Q

what is the function of the levator scapulae?

A

elevate scapula

25
Q

what is the origin of the rhomboids?

A

Spinous processes of the vertebrae

26
Q

where does the rhomboids insert?

A

medial border of the scapula

27
Q

what is the function of the rhomboid?

28
Q

what do the rotator cuff muscles connect?

A

the scapular and clavicle to the humerus

29
Q

what is the general function of the rotator cuff muscles?

A

-to support glenohumeral joint
-All rotate humerus, except for supraspinatus

30
Q

where do the rotator cuff muscles attach?

A

Attach to the greater tubercle, except for subscapularis (which attaches to the lesser tubercle)

31
Q

what is the function of the rotator cuff muscles?

A

-Supraspinatus initiates abduction
-Infraspinatus and Teres minor laterally roates the humerus
-subscapularis medially rotates the humerus

32
Q

what are the implications of rotator cuff impingement?

A

Inflammation (tendinitis, bursitis)
Swelling and pain
Impairs movement
Possible rupture of tendons
capsular weakness

33

Nerve: radial nerve

35
Q

where is the insertion site of triceps brachii?

A

Olecranon of ulna

36
Q

where is the origin of triceps brachii?

A

Long head: infra glenoid tubercle of scapula
Medial head: humerus
Lateral head: humerus

37
Q

what is the function of triceps brachii?

A

Extend arm and forearm

38
Q

what is the origin of biceps brachii?

A

Long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Short head: coracoid process

39

47
Q

what is the brachial artery?

A

-continuation of axillary artery
-runs on medial forearm
-divides into radial and ulnary arteries

48
Q

what are the brachial veins?

A

deep, and run with brachial artery

49
