Quiz 1 Flashcards
Trapezius
Accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI)
superficial back
Elevates, retracts, and rotates scapula (abduction above 90-180); lower fibers depress scapula
Latissimus dorsi
Thoracodorsal nerve
superficial back and shoulder
extends, adducts, and medially rotates humerus
Rhomboid major
dorsal scapular nerve
superficial back
fixes scapula to thoracic wall and retracts and rotates it to depress glenoid cavity
Rhomboid minor
dorsal scapular nerve
superficial back
fixes scapula to thoracic wall and retracts and rotates it to depress glenoid cavity
Levator scapulae
ventral rami C3-C4 and dorsal scapular nerve
superficial back
elevates scapula medially, inferiorly rotates glenoid cavity
Rectus capitis posterior major
Suboccipital nerve
Dorsal ramus of C1 (suboccipital)
Origin: spinus process of axis C2
Extends and rotates atlanto-occipital joint
Rectus capitis posterior minor
Suboccipital nerve
Dorsal ramus of C1
suboccipital
Extends and rotates atlanto-occipital joint
Serratus posterior superior
ventral rami of lower thoracic nerves
depresses elevates ribs
Assists forced inspiration
Serratus posterior inferior
ventral rami of upper thoracic nerves
depresses ribs
Assists forced expiration
Serratus anterior
long thoracic nerve and lateral thoracic artery
Laterally rotates and protracts scapula forward (abduction above 90-180)
shoulder
Boxer’s muscle
if LTN cut = angel wing (the medial border of the scapula moves laterally and posteriorly away from the thoracic wall)
Erector spinae
posterior primary rami
dorsal rami
intermediate layer of true back
Lateral flexion of spine
Splenius capitis
posterior primary rami
dorsal rami
superficial layer of true back
Extends and rotates cervical spine
Semispinalis capitis
greater occipital nerve C2
dorsal rami
deep layer of true back
Extends head and spine and lateral flexes spine
Obliquuis capitis superior
suboccipital nerve
Dorsal ramus C1
Suboccipital
Lateral flexes atlanto-occipital joint
Obliquuis capitis inferior
suboccipital nerve
Dorsal ramus C1
Suboccipital
Rotates atlanto-axial joint
Teres minor
axillary nerve
shoulder; rotator cuff
laterally rotates arm and stabilizes shoulder joint
Supraspinatus
Suprascapular nerve
shoulder; rotator cuff
abduction of arm (initiation to 15 degrees)
most frequently torn
Subscapularis
Upper and lower subscapular nerves
shoulder; rotator cuff
Medially rotates arm and stabilizes shoulder joint
Insertion:
Lesser tuberosity of humerus, upper medial lip of bicipital groove, capsule of shoulder joint
Teres major
Lower subscapular nerve
Shoulder- insert in bicipital groove of humerus
Medially rotates and adducts arm. Stabilizes shoulder joint
Subclavius
Nerve to subclavius
shoulder
Deltoid
axillary nerve (C5, C6)
shoulder
abducts humerus to 90 degrees
Abducts arm, anterior fibers flex and medial rotate, posterior fibers extend and lateral rotate
insert in deltoid tuberosity
Pectoralis major
medial and lateral pectoral nerves
pectoral region/axilla
Clavicular head:flexes and adducts arm. Sternal head: adducts and medially rotates arm . Accessory for inspiration
Pectoralis minor
medial pectoral nerve
pectoral region/axilla
Elevates ribs if scapula fixed, protracts scapula (assists serratus anterior)
Insert: medial and upper surface of coracoid process of scapula
Sternocleidomastoid
spinal root of accessary Nerve XI
tilts head to side; laterally flexes neck and rotates head toward opposite side
Platysma
cervical branch of facial nerve
Depresses and wrinkles skin of lower face and mouth. Aids forced depression of mandible
Omohyoid (inferior belly)
Ansa cervicalis nerve (C1,2,3)
Depresses hyoid bone and hence larynx
Anterior scalene
Anterior primary rami of C5, 6
brachial plexuses
elevate 1st rib / inspiration
Middle scalene
Anterior primary rami of C3-8
brachial plexuses
elevate 1st rib/ inspiration
