Week 5 Anatomy of Muscles Flashcards
Pectorals Major: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: of obliquus externus abdominis, Anterior surface of sternum and cartilage of true ribs,Middle and lateral third of clavicle.
Insertion: distal to the greater tuberosity of humerus
Function: adduction of arm, brings raised arm downwards
Innervation: lateral and medial pectoral nerve
Latissimus Dorsi: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: six inferior thoracic and all lumbar and sacral vertebrae; posterior iliac crest.
Insertion: via broad, flat tendon crossing teres major, into inferior part of biciptal groove of humerus
Function: Pulls raised arm downwards, draws upper limb posteriorly, medial rotation of arm
Innervation: thoracodorsal nerve
Deltoid: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: lateral third of clavicle, acromion and inferior border of scapula spine.
Insertion: rough area on lateral aspect of humeral shaft, mid-length.
Function: contraction raises arm to horizontal plane. Partial contraction of anterior or posterior parts will rotate arm forwards/backwards
Innervation: axillary
Terres Major: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: lower lateral border and inferior angle of the scapula
Insertion: Bicipital groove of the humerus
Coracobrachialis: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: Coracoid process of the scapula
Insertion: Mid medial surface of the humerus
Biceps Brachii: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: long head from the scapula, tendon runs around head of humerus and lies in bicipital groove. Short head from a tendon on the coracoid process of the scapula.
Insertion: common tendon onto tuberosity of radius.
Function: flexion of the elbow, with supination.
Innervation: musculocutaneous
Brachialis: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: anterior surface of humerus, distal to deltoid insertion
Insertion: short tendon, into anterior surface of coronoid process of ulna.
Function: flexion of elbow
Innervation: musculocutaneous nerve
Triceps Brachii: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: three heads: Medial and lateral originate from posterior surface of humerus. Long head starts inferior to articular surface of scapula, passes between the teres mm. (tendinosus)
Insertion: olecranon process of ulna
Function: very strong extension of forearm, adduction of arm.
Innervation: radial nerve, but long head supplied by axillary nerve
Iliopsoas: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Iliacus – originates in iliac fossa, inserts in tendon of psoas
Psoas major – originates from bodies of all lumbar vertebrae, inserts into lesser trochanter of femur.
Function: If trunk is fixed, flexion and medial rotation of femur. If limb is fixed, flexion of trunk
Innervation: femoral nerve, from L1 and L2
Sartorius: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: ASIS
Insertion: Anterior surface upper tibia
Action: Flexion, Abduction & Lateral rotation of hip. Flexion of the knee.
Innervation: Femoral Nerve
Vastus lateralis: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: near greater trochanter, lateral edge of linea aspera.
Insertion: Tibial Tuberostiy
Action: Knee extension
Innervation: Femoral Nerve
Vastus medialis: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: medial edge of linea aspera, starting from lesser trochanter
Insertion: tibial tuberosity
Action: Knee extension
Innervation: Femoral Nerve
Vastus intermedius: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Originates anterior aspect of femur, down to lower third
Insertion: tibial tuberosity
Action: Knee extension
Innervation: Femoral Nerve
Rectus femoris: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin is anterior inferior iliac spine and groove superior to hip joint, prime mover of hip flexion
Insertion: tibial tuberosity
Action: Knee extension, hip flexion
Innervation: Femoral Nerve
Gluteus maximus: Origin, Insertion, Function, Innervation
Origin: posterior lateral surface of iliac bone, lateral sacrum and coxygeal bone, sacral ligaments
Insertion: broad femoral fascia, femur.
Function: extending thigh when the trunk is fixed, primarily when climbing stairs or rising from a squat.
Innervation: inferior gluteal nerve
