Shoulder, Breast, & Pectoral Region Flashcards
The superior surface of the clavicle is an attachment point for which four muscles?
- Sternocleidomastoid
- Trapezius
- Pectoralis Major
- Deltoid
Which muscle(s) attach to the greater tubercle? Lesser tubercle?
Greater Tubercle = Sit muscles
- Supraspinatus - Suprascapular N.
- Infraspinatus - Suprascapular N.
- Teres Minor - axillary N.
Lesser Tubercle = Subscapularis Muscle (sits on the subscapular fossa) - [Subscapular N]
- Teres Major
Pectoralis Major Muscle
O: Medial half of clavicle, sternum, costal cartilages of ribs, anterior layer of rectus sheath
I: Intertubercular Sulcus of Humerus
A: Flex and Adducts Arm, rotats medially*
N: Medial and Lateral Pectoral Nerves
B: Pectoral Branch of Thoracro
Pectoralis Minor Muscle
O: Surface of upper margin of ribs
I: Coracoid Process of Scapula
A: lowers lateral angle of scapula and protracts scapula
N: Medial pectoral Nerve
Subclavius Muscle
O:Upper border of 1st rib
I: Middle third of clavicle
A: DEPRESSION of the clavicle*, stabilizes the clavicle
N: Nerve to Subclavius
Serratus Anterior
O: Surface of 8-9 ribs I: Costal surface of medial border of scapula A: PRIMARY STABILIZER of the SCAPULA N: Long Thoracic Nerve B: Lateral Thoracic Artery * Winged Scapula arises when this is cut
What six muscles originate from the Scapula?
- Deltoid
- Subscapularis
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres Minor
- Teres Major
Deltoid Muscle
** CANNOT initiate abduction of the humerus (this is supraspinatus muscle)
O: Scapula, clavicle, acromion
I: Deltoid Tuberosity of Humerus
A: Abduction past the first 15-20 degrees
- flexion, internal rotation and extension
N: Axillary Nerve (same as for Teres Minor)
B: Deltoid Branch of thoracoacromial trunk
Teres Major
O: Inferior angle of Scapula I: Lesser tubercle of Humerus A: medial rotation of the humerus, weak adduction N: Lower Subscapular Nerve B: Circumflex Scapular A.
Teres Minor
O: Lateral Border of Scapula I: Greater tubercle of Humerus A: Laterally rotates arm (external) + weak adduction and extension N: Axillary Nerve B: Circumflex Scapular A.
What are the rotator cuff muscles?
SItS
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres Minor
- Subscapularis
- hold the head of humerus in glenoid cavity
Supraspinatus Muscle
O: Supraspinous fossa of Scapula I: Greater Tuberacle A: initiates ABDuction for first 15-20 degrees N: Suprascapular Nerve B: Suprascapular Artery
Infraspinatus Muscle
O: Infraspinous fossa of Scapula I: Greater Tubercle A: Lateral Rotation of Arm (with Teres Minor) N: Suprascapular N. A: Suprascapular Artery
Subscapularis Muscle
O: Subscapular Fossa of Scapula I: Lesser Tubercle of Humerus A: Medial rotation of humerus N: Upper and Lower Subscapular Nerve B: Subscapular Artery
What structures create the border for the Quadrangular Space? What runs through this space?
- teres minor (S), teres major (i), long head of triceps (M) & humerus (L)
- Axillary Nerve (teres minor & deltoid)
- Posterior Circumflex Humeral Artery
