Scapular and Deltoid Regions Flashcards
trapezius muscle innervation
CN XI
Spinal accessory nerve
trapezius muscle blood supply
transverse cervical a (branch of thryocervical trunk)
Trapezius muscle action
Retracts the scapula
Superior fibers: rotate glenoid cavity (abduction of arm)
middle fibers: upward rotation and prevent sagging
latissimus dorsi innervation
thoracodorsal nerve (C6-C8)
latissimus dorsi vascularization
thoracodorsal artery (branch of subscapular a. from axillary a)
Latissimus dorsi action
adduction
medial rotation
extension
of arm
levator scapulae innervation
dorsal scapular n
levator scapulae blood supply
transverse cervical a (branch of thyrocervical trunk)
levator scapulae actions
elevates medial angle of scapula
rhomboideus major and minor innervation
dorsal scapular n
rhomboideus major and minor vascularization
transverse cervical a (branch of thyrocervical trunk)
rhomboideus major and minor actions
Elevates medial border and retracts scapula
Serratus anterior innervation
long thoracic n .
serratus anterior blood supply
lateral thoracic a
serratus anterior actions
protracts scapula
holds medial border firmly against thoracic wall
upward rotation (with the trapezius)
Deltoid innervation
axillary n (C5-C6)
deltoid vascularization
deltoid branch of thoracoacromial trunk
deltoid muscle actions
anterior (flex and medially rotate arm)
Middle fibers (abduct arm)
Posterior (extend and laterally rotate arm)
