Scapular Region and Shoulder Flashcards
deltoid origin
lateral ⅓ clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula
deltoid insertion
deltoid tuberosity of humerus
deltoid innervation
axillary (C5,6)
deltoid actions
anterior: flex and medially rotate humerus
middle: abduct humerus
posterior: extend and laterally rotate humerus
teres major origin
dorsal surface of inferior angle of scapula
teres major insertion
medial lip of intertubercular groove of humerus
teres major innervation
lower subscapular (C5,6)
teres major action
medially rotate and adduct humerus
supraspinatus origin
supraspinous fossa of scapula
supraspinatus insertion
superior facet on greater tubercle of humerus
supraspinatus innervation
suprascapular (C4,5,6)
supraspinatus action
initiates and assists deltoid in abduction of glenohumeral joint and acts with rotator cuff muscles
infraspinatus origin
infraspinous fossa of scapula
infraspinatus insertion
middle facet on greater tuberosity of humerus
infraspinatus innervation
suprascapular (C5,6)
infraspinatus action
laterally rotate glenohumeral joint and help hold humeral head in glenoid cavity of scapula
