Upper Extremity Myology Flashcards
Muscles can only do what?
Contract. Get smaller
Pectoralis Major M
Attachments
Attachments- [clavicle, sternum and the sheath of the rectus abdomnius–> intertubercular groove on the humerus]
Pectoralis Major M
Action
- Medially rotate humerus
- Adduct
- Flex the humerus
- Protract the scapula
Pectoralis major m.
Innervation
- Medial pectoral n.
2. Lateral pectoral n.
Pectoralis major m
blood supply

Attachments
Coracoid process of the scapula–> 3-5 ribs
Pectoralis Minor M
Action
- stabilize the scapula to the thoracic cavity
Pectoralis Minor M
Innervation
Medial pectoral n.
Will pierce right through to get to pec major
Pectoralis Minor M
B.S

Serratus Anterior M.
Attachment
Deep part of the medial border of the scapula–> lateral part of the ribs
Serratus Anterior M
Action
- Stabilize the scapula in the thoracic wall
- Protract the scapula
- Rotate the glenoid cavity upwards
Serratus Anterior M
I
Long thoracic N
Serratus Anterior M
B.S
Lateral thoracic A
What causes winging of the scapula?
That pec minor and serratus anterior m will stabilize the scapula.
When the long thoracic n of the [SERRATUS ANTERIOR M] is damaged, it paralyzes the the muscle. thus, the scapula is not stabilzied.
This makes ABDUCTING hard. REMEMBER WE SAID THAT 1 JOB OF THE SERRATUS ANTERIOR MUSCLE WAS TO ROTATE THE GLENIOD CAVITY SUPERIORLY
Winged scapula makes _____ hard
abducting
because we said a job of the serratus anterior m was to lift the glenoid cavity superiorly
6 scapulohumeral muscles?
- Deltoid M
- SubscapulARIS m.
- Supraspinatus m.
- Infraspinatus m.
- Teres major m.
- Teres minor m.
Deltoid M
attachments
Scapular spine

Clavicle
–> Deltoid tuberosity on the humerus
What kind of muscle is the deltoid?
multi-pennate
3 parts of deltoid axn
Anterior part
- Medially rotate shoulder
- Flex shoulder
Middle part of the deltoid
1. Abduct shoulder
Posterior part of the deltoid
- Laterally rotate shoulder
- Extend shoulders
Deltoid M
I
axillary N
Deltoid M
B.S
- Deltoid branch of the thoracoacromial trunk
2. PCHA: Posterior cirumflex humeral artery
Subscapularis M
Attachments
subscapular fossa–> lesser tubercle of the humerus (rmbr this faces anterior)
Subscapularis M
Axn
- Medial rotation of the humerus
2. Adduction of humerus
Subscapularis M
I
Upper subscapular n
Lower subscapular n
Subscapularis M
B.S
Subscapular a
Supraspinatus M
Attachment
Supraspinous fossa–> top of the greater tubercle of the humerus
(runs under the acromion)
Supraspinatus M
Axn
Abduction of the humerus
Supraspinatus M
I
Suprascapular N
Supraspinatus M
BS
Suprascapular A
Infraspinatus M
Attachment
Medial border of the infraspinous fossa–> greater tubercle of humerus
Infraspinatus M
Axn
External (lateral rotation)
Infraspinatus M
I
Suprascapular N
Infraspinatus M
B.S
Suprascapular A
Teres Major M.
Attachment
[inferior angle of the scapula]–> front of the humerus–> [intertubercular groove]
Teres Major M.
Action
Medial (internal) rotation of the humerus
Adduction
Teres Major M
I
Lower subscapular N
This makes sense because it is near the subscapularis M (which is also innervated by the lower subscapular N)
Teres Major M
BS
Circumflex scapular A
Teres Minor M
Attachment
Lateral border of scapula–> Greater tubercle of the humerus
Teres Minor M
Axn
Lateral rotation
Teres Minor M
I
Axillary N
same as deltoid
Teres Minor M
B.S
Circumflex scapular a.
Rotator Cuff Muscles
SITS Supraspinatus M. Infraspinatus M. Teres minor M. SubscapuLARIS N.
What do the rotator cuff muscles do?
Rotator cuff muscles will stabilize the glenohumeral joint. If any of these muscles become injured, it will destabilize the joint.
The most commonly injured rotator cuff muscle is what?
Supraspinatus M.
There are only 3 brachial muscles of the anterior component. What are they?
- Biceps Brachii M.
- Coracobrachialis M.
- Brachialis M.
Biceps Brachii M.
2 Parts:
- Short Head
2. Long head
Biceps Brachii M.
Actions:
Why?
- Flex the shoulder
- Flex the elbow
- Supinate
Because remember, it skips attaching to the humerus and goes from the [supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula–> radial tuberosity]
Biceps Brachii M.
Innervation:
Musculocutaneous N.
Coracobrachialis M.
Action:
Why?
- Flex the shoulder
- Adduct the shoulder
Remember; goes from coracoid process of scapula–> medial part of the humerus
Corachobrachialis M.
Innervations:
Musculocutaneous N.
Striking what should produce the bicipital myotactic reflex?
The Bicipital Tendon.
Patient David comes in and we conduct a bicipital myotactic reflex on his bicipital tendon. He does not exhibit the reflex. What can we suggest?
We can suggest that he has damage to his
[musculocutaneous n] or
[C5 and C6 anterior rami].
What is the Popeye Deformity?
The long head of the biceps brachii m. attaches to the supraglenoid cavity of the scapula. the tendon then goes through the intertubercular groove–> radial tuberosity.
Repetitive movement in this groove can cause inflammation of the tendon, called bicipital tendinitis and crepitus (cracking sound).
If that tendon gets out of the intertubercular groove, or separates from supraglenoid tubercle, it can cause a Popeyes deformity in the arm.
Brachialis M.
Action:
Why?
- Flex the elbow
Because it attaches from the humerus –> ulnar tuberosity.
Brachialis M.
Innervation
Musculocutaneous N.
All brachialis muscles in the anterior compartment are innervated by what?
Musculocutaneous N.
All brachial muscles in the POSTERIOR compartment are innervated by what?
Radial N.
What are the 2 brachial muscles in the POSTERIOR compartment?
- Triceps Brachii M.
2. Aconius M.
