Shoulder Region Flashcards
attachment of deltoid
origin:
lateral 1/3 anterior border of clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula
insertion:
deltoid tuberosity of humerus
action of deltoid?
anterior - flexes, medially rotates
posterior - extends, laterally rotates
anterior, middle, posterior - abducts
innervation of deltoid?
axillary nerve
subacromial bursa
or subdeltoid bursa
directly deep to deltoid and superficial to supraspinatus
attachment of suspraspinatus
origin:
supraspinous fossa of scapula
insertion:
highest facet, posterior surface greater tubercle of humerus
action of supraspinatus
initiates abductino of humerus
innervation of supraspinatus
suprascapular nerve
what initiates abduction?
supraspinatus
attachments of infraspinatus
origin:
infraspinous fossa of scapula
insertion:
middle facet, posterior surface greater tubercle of humerus
action of infraspinatus
lateral rotation of humerus
innervation of infraspinatus
suprascapular nerve
what do you lose first, cutaneous or motor?
cutaneous innervation
superior transverse scapular ligament
closes off the suprascapular notch
- suprascapular artery passes superior
- suprascapular nerve passes inferior
both structures supply supraspinatus and send branches around neck of acromion via great scapular notch to the infraspinatus
teres major attachments?
origin:
dorsal surface, inferior angle of scapula
insertion:
crest of lesser tubercle of humerus
action of teres major?
extension, adduction, medial rotation
same as latissimus, but better in horizontal plane
latissimus better in vertical plane
