Scapular and pectoral region Flashcards
name the muscles of the pectoral girdle (rotator cuff)
deltiod, teres major and minor, supraspinitus, infraspinitus, subscapularis (SITS mnemonic for rotator cuff)
origin of deltiod
lateral clavicle, acromion & spine of scapula
insertion of deltiod
deltiod tuberosity of humerus
action of deltiod
aducts, flexus, extends, rotates humerus
supply of deltiod
axillary nerve (C5, C6) and POSTERIOR circumflex humeral vessels
origin of teres major
inferior angle of scapula
insertion of teres major
crest of lesser tubercle of humerus
action of teres major
adducts, extends & medially rotates humerus (traps “little helper)
supply of teres major
lower subscapular (C5-C6) nerve & subscapular vessels
origin of supraspinatus
supraspinous fossa
insertion of supraspinatus
greater tubercle of humerus
action of supraspinatus
abducts humerus (only 1st 15 degrees)
supply of supraspinatus
suprascapular nerves (C5-6) & vessels, dorsal scapular vessels
origin of infraspinatus
infraspinous fossa
insertion of infraspinatus
greater tubercle of humerus
action of infraspinatus
lateral rotation of humerus
supply of infraspinatus
suprascapular nerve (C5-6) & vessels, subscapular vessels
origin of teres minor
lateral border of scapula
insertion of teres minor
greater tubercle of humerus
