I: Medial intertubercular groove
N: Lower subscapular nerve (C5, C6)
A: IR, adducts arm
Serratus Anterior
O: Ext ribs 1-8
I: Medial border of anterior scapula
N: Long Thoracic Nerve (C5, 6, 7)
A: maintains scapula on thoracic wall, protracts and rotates scapula superiorly

I: Deltoid tuberosity of humerus (just lateral of greater tubercle)
N: Axillary Nerve (C5, C6)
A: Flexes, abducts, extends arm
Trapezius
O: spinous process of cervical and thoracic vertebrae
I: spine of scapula and acromion
N: CN XI (spinal accessory nerve), branches of ansa cervicalis

Levator Scapula
O: Posterior tubercle of transverse processes of C1-C4
I: Sperior medial border of scapula to spine of scapulae
N: Dorsal Scapular Nerve (C5)
A: Elevates scapulae, inferior rotation of scapulae
Rhomboid major and minor
O: ligamentum nuchae, spinous process of C7-T5
I: medial border of scapulae from spine to inferior angle
A: retracts scapulae, rotates to depress scapulae
N: dorsal scapular nerve (C5)

Pectoralis Minor
O: Anterior surfaces of ribs 3-5 near costal cartilage
I: medial and superior coracoid process
N: Medial Pectoral Nerve (C8, T1)
A: stabilizes scapula by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against thoraic wall
