motor: accessory nerve (CN XI) pain and proprioception: C3 and C4

Question 16

What are the ligaments and origins of the trapezius?

Answer 16

Posterior: nuchal ligament O: external occipital protuberance and superior nuchal line C7-T12 vertebrae anterior lateral 1/3 of clavicle spine and acromion process

Question 17

What actions doesnt the scapula perform?

Answer 17

protraction and DOWNWARD rotation

Question 18

Trapezius nuchal ligament is responsible for

Answer 18

retraction

Question 19

thoracic insertions of the trapezius are responsible for

Answer 19

depression and upward rotation

Question 20

Scapular and cervical insertions of trapezius are responsible for

Answer 20

elevation and upward rotation

Question 21

if the inferior angle of the scapula moves toward the axillary region, this is called

Answer 21

upward rotation

Question 22

Triangle of Auscultation

Answer 22

less tissue, easier to hear breathing sound between deltoid, latissimus, and trapezius

Question 23

???

Answer 23

Triangle of auscultation

lumbar triangle

where herniation often occurs

Latissimus dorsi moves the humerus at the

Answer 27

shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint)

Question 28

Latissimus dorsi

Answer 28

Medial rotation Adduction Extention of humerus

Question 29

Rhomboid major m. prox and distal attachments

Answer 29

prox major: thoracic vert prox minor: nuchal ligament distal major: medial border of rib to inferior angle distal minor: mediat end of scapula spin

Question 30

rhomboid major and minor: blood supply

Answer 30

dorsal scapular artery

Question 31

Rhomboid major minor: actions

Answer 31

both retract, elevate, and rotate scapula downward, as well as fix it to scapular spine

Levator scapulae: innervation

Answer 32

dorsal scapular nerve and cervical nerves 3-4

Question 33

Levator scapulae: blood supply

Answer 33

dorsal scapular artery
