Upper limb origins and insertion Flashcards
Trapezius origin and insertion
origin: superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, medial margin of the ligamentum nuchae, spinous process of CVII to TXII and related supraspinaous ligaments
Trapezius innervation
Sensor nerve; cranial nerve XI
Trapezius function
elevates scapula,
rotates scapula during abduction of humerous above horizontal,
middle fibers retract scapula. lower fibers depress scapula
Deltoid origin and insertion
Origin: lateral margin of acromion, spine of scapula; lateral 1/3 of clavical
Insertion: deltoid tuberosity
Deltoid innervation
axillary nerve (C5-C6)
Deltoid action
ABduction, posterior fibers cause extension and anterior fibers flexion
Levator scapulae origin and insertion
origin: Transferse process of C1-C2 and posterior tubercales of transfer process of C3-C4
Insertion: posterior surface of medial border of scapula from superior angle to root of spine of the scapula
Levator scapulae innervation
branches directly from anterior rami C3-C4 and branches from C 5 of dorsal scapular nerve
Levator scapulae action
elevates scapula
Rhomboid minor origin and insertion
Origin: lower end of ligaments nuchael and spinous processes of C7-T1 vertabrae
Insertion: posterior surface of medial border of scapula at the root of the spine of the scapula
Rhomboid minor innervation
dorsal scapular nerve (C4-C5)
Rhomboid minor action
elevates and retracts the scapula
Rhomboid major origin and insertion
origin: spinous process of T2-T5
Insertion: posterior surface of medial border of scapula from the root of the spine of the scapula to the inferior angle
Rhomboid major innervation
dorsal scapular nerve (C4-C5)
Rhomboid major action
elevates and retracts the scapula
Supraspinatus origin and insertion
Origin: medial two thirds of supraspinous fossa
insertion: greater tubercle of humerous
supraspinatus innervation
suprascacular nerve (C5-C6)
infraspinatus origin and insertion
origin: infraspinus fossa of scapula
insertion: greater tubercle of humorous
infraspinatus innervation
suprascpular nerve (c5-c6)
teres minor origin and insertion
origin: lateral border of scapula
insertion: grater tuberacle of humerus
