Shoulder Muscles Flashcards
ORIGIN of the coracobrachialis
apex of coracoid process of scapula
INSERTION of the coracobrachialis
medial surface of the middle shaft of the humerus, opposite deltoid tubersoity (so insertion is posterior)
ACTION of the coracobrachialis
flexes and adducts the shoulder joint
INNERVATION of the coracobrachialis
musculocutaneous nerve
ORIGIN of the pectoralis major
clavicular head, sternocostal head, superior 6 costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique
INSERTION of the pectoralis major
lateral lip of intertubercular groove of humerus
ACTION of the pectoralis major
adducts and medially rotates the humerus, elevation of sternum
INNERVATION of the pectoralis major
clavicular head, lateral pectoral nerve (c5-c7)
ORIGIN of the biceps
short head: tip of coracoid process
long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula, capsule of glenohumeral joint and labrum
INSERTION of the biceps
tuberosity of radius, fascia of forearm via bicipital aponeurosis
ACTION of the biceps
supinates forearm
INNERVATION of the biceps
musculocutaneous nerve (c5-c6)
ORIGIN of the teres major
dorsal or posterior surfaces of inferior angle, lower 1/3 of scapulas lateral border
INSERTION of the teres major
same as pec major, inner ridge of intertubercular ridge at the top of the humerus
ACTION of the teres major
medially rotates, adducts and extends the shoulder joint
INNERVATION of the teres major
lower scapular nerve (c5, 6 and 7)
INSERTION of latissimus dorsi
same as pec major and teres major, floor if intertubercular groove of humerus
ORIGIN of latissimus dorsi
spinous process of t6-t12, thoracolumbar fascia, sacral and lumbar vertebrae, iliac crest, inferior angle of scapula
INNERVATION of latissimus dorsi
thoracodorsal nerve (c6,7,8)
ORIGIN of the triceps
long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
lateral head: posterior surface of humerus (inferior to radial groove)
INSERTION of the triceps
proximal end of olecranon of ulna, capsule of elbow joint, antebrachial fascia
ACTION of the triceps
holds head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity
INNERVATION of the triceps
radial nerve (c6-8)
ORIGIN of the supraspinatus
medial 2/3 supraspinatus fossa of scapula
INSERTION of the supraspinatus
superior facet of greater tuberosity of humerus
ACTION of the supraspinatus
abducts shoulder joint , stabilizes head of humerus in the glenoid cavity during movements
INNERVATION of the supraspinatus
suprascapular nerve
ORIGIN of the infraspinatus
medial 2/3 of infraspinatus fossa of scapula
INSERTION of the infraspinatus
middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus
ACTION of the infraspinatus
lateral rotation of upper limbs at the shoulder
INNERVATION of the infraspinatus
suprascapular nerve, same as supraspinatus
ACTION of middle deltoid
abduction of shoulder joint by middle fibers, anterior and posterior fibers help stabilize fibers
INNERVATION of middle deltoid
axillary nerve (c5-6)
