Scapulohumeral (intrinsic Shoulder) Muscles Flashcards
Insertion of deltoid
Deltoid tuberosity
Deltoid origin
Lateral third of clavicle
Acromion
Spine of scapula
Deltoid Innervation
Axillary nerve C5 C6
Deltoid actions
Clavicular (anteriorly) part flexes and medially rotates shoulder joint
Acromial (middle) part abducts shoulder joint
Spine (posterior) part extends and laterally rotates
Supraspinous origin
Supraspinous fossa of scapula
Insertion of supraspinous
Superior facet of greater tubercle of humerus
Innervation of supraspinatus
Suprascapular nerve C4 C5 C6
Supraspinatus action
Initiates and assist deltoid in abduction Of shoulder joint
Acts with other rotator cuff muscles
Infraspinatus origin
infraspinous fossa of scapula
Infraspinatus insertion
Middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus
Infraspinatus Innervation
Suprascapular C5 C6
Action of Infraspinatus and teres minor
Laterally rotates shoulder joint
Helps hold humerus head in glenoid cavity of scapula

Teres major insertion
medial lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
innervation of teres major
lower subscapular nerve C5 6
