Superficial Back and Shoulder Flashcards
Trapezius function and innervation
Elevates, depresses, retracts and rotates scapula upward (adducts)
Accessory nerve
Latissimus Dorsi function and innervation
Adducts, extends, and medially rotates humerus
Thoracodorsal nerve
Inside of nerves going to muscles
Somatosensory and somatomotor, postganglionic sympathetic
Cutaneous nerve inside
Somatosensory and postganglionic sympathetic
Levator scapulae function and innervation
Elevates and retracts scapula
Dorsal scapular nerve
Rhomboids function and innervation
Retract and elevate scapula
Dorsal scapular nerve
3 muscles of pectoral region
pec maj and min
Serratus anterior
Pectoralis major function and innervation
Adducts, medially rotates, flexes humerous
Medial and lateral pectoral nerves
Pectorlais minor function and innervation
Depresses and inferiorly rotates scapula
Medial pectoral
Serratus anterior function and innervation
Protracts and rotates scapula
Long thoracic nerve
Intrinsic shoulder muscles
Rotator cuff
Deltoid
Teres major
Deltoid function and innervation
Abducts arm, flexes and medially rotates arm, extends and laterally rotates arm
Axillary nerve
Teres major function and innervation
Adducts, extends, and medially rotates humerus
Lower subscapular nerve
Rotator cuff muscles
Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, suscapularis, teres minor
Subscapularis function and innervation
Medially rotates humerus
Upper and lower subscapular nerves
Supraspinaturs function and innervation
Initiates abduction of humerous
Suprascapular nerve
Infraspinatus function and innervation
Laterally rotates humerus
Suprascapular nerve
Teres minor function and innervation
Laterally rotates humerus
Axillary nerve
All rotator but subscapularis sit on
greater tubercle (SIT)
Rotator cuff injury normally involves
supraspinatus
Which initiates abduction of arm?
supraspinatus - very important
