Q

What are the actions of trapezius?

A

1) holds upper limb to trunk
2) adducts (retract) scapula - middle fibers
3) raises scapula - upper fibers
4) depresses scapula - lower fibers
5) rotates scapula so that inferior angle is moved
6) laterally for abduction of upper limb above horizontal position

Q

What is the origin of latissimus dorsi?

A
  • spinous process of lower 6 thoracic vertebrae
  • thoracolumbar fascia
  • iliac crest and lower 3 or 4 ribs
22
Q

What is the insertion of latissimus dorsi?

A

humers (intertubercular groove)

- between Teres major and pectoralis major

23
Q

What innervates latissimus dorsi?

A

thoracodorsal nerve (C6,7,8 level of spinal cord) from brachial plexus

24
Q

What vessel provides blood supply to latissimus dorsi?

A

thoracodorsal artery

25
Q

What is the action of latissimus dorsi?

A
  • adducts upper limb
  • extends upper limb
  • medial rotatation of upper limb (butterfly stroke)
26
Q

What happens to latissimus dorsi when its nerve supply sustains injury?

A

unable to raise the trunk with the upper limbs during climbing

27
Q

What is the triangle of auscultation?

A

small triangular gap between muscles near the inferior angle of scapula

  • bounded by trapezius, latissimus dorsi and medial border of scapula
  • good place to listen for respiratory sounds with stethoscope (less muffled)
28
Q

What is the origin of levator scapulae?

A

transverse processes of first 3 or 4 cervical vertebrae

29
Q

What is the insertion of levator scapulae?

A

superior angle of scapula and along its upper medial border

30
Q

What innervates levator scapulae?

A

dorsal scapular nerve (C5) and 3rd and 4th cervical nerves

31
Q

What is the action of levator scapulae?

A

raises scapula

32
Q

What is the origin of rhomboid major and minor?

A

spines of lower cervical (C7) and upper thoracic (T1 - T5) vertebrae

33
Q

What is the insertion of rhomboid major and minor?

A

medial border of scapula

34
Q

What is the blood supply to rhomboid major and minor?

A

dorsal scapular artery

35
Q

What is the action of rhomboid major and minor?

A
  • adduct scapula

- rotate scapula so the glenoid cavity moves inferiorly

36
Q

What innervates rhomboid major and minor?

A

dorsal scapular nerve (ventral ramus of C5) and some fibers of C4

37
Q

What happens to rhomboid major and minor if the nerve supplying is injured?

A

dorsal scapular nerve results in inability to adduct scapula

38
Q

What are the intermediate back muscles?

A

serratus posterior superior

serratus posterior inferior

39
Q

What is the origin of serratus posterior superior?

A

ligamentum nuchae and spines of C7 to T3 vertebrae

40
Q

What is the insertion of serratus posterior superior?

A

2nd to 4th ribs

41
Q

What innervates serratus posterior superior?

A

first 3 thoracic spinal nerves

42
Q

What is the action of serratus posterior superior?

A

elevates ribs

43
Q

What is the origin of serratus posterior inferior?

A

T11 to L2 vertebral spines

44
Q

What is the insertion of serratus posterior inferior?

A

lower 4 ribs

45
Q

What innervates serratus posterior inferior?

A

last 4 thoracic nerves

46
Q

What is the action of serratus posterior inferior?

A

aids in respiration by holding ribs steady when diaphragm moves up

47
Q

What is the primary function of intermediate back muscles?

A

respiration

48
Q

Name this muscle:
- very broad flat muscle, covers inferior half of the back (T6 to iliac crest), attaches the upper limb to the trunk and acts on the shoulder joint

A

Latissimus dorsi

49
Q

Name this muscle:
- flat triangular muscle, provides direct attachment of pectoral girdle to the axial skeleton, helps to suspend upper limb from the trunk, covers back of neck and upper half of the trunk, attaches the pectoral girdle to the skull and vertebral column, muscle fibers are divided into three parts

A

trapezius

50
Q

What is the primary action of deep back muscles?

A

movement of vertebral column
