What level is the spine of the scapula?
TIII
What level is the lower border of the scapula?
TVII
Which is more anterior? Greater or lesser tubercle of the humerus
Lesser tubercle
What level is the iliac cres at?
LIV
Which side of a cervical vertabrae is convex?
Inferior
What bone on the skull does the atlas articulate with?
Occipital condyle
What action happens at the atlanto-occipito joint?
Nodding of the head
Describe the transverse processes of the atlas.
Larger than the rest of the cervical vertabrae to allow for muscle insertion, which act at the atlanto-axial joint
What is the origin of the descending part of the trapezius?
Superior nuchal line, occipital protuberance, nuchal ligament, CVII
What is the insertion of the descending part of the trapezius?
Acromion, lateral 1/3 of the clavicle
What is the innervation of the trapezius?
Spinal portion of the accessory nerve (XI), proprioceptive contributions from the ventral rami of C3 and C4
What is the blood supply of the descending part of trapezius?
Superficial branch of the transverse cervical artery (and vein)
What is the action of the descending part of the trapezius?
Elevation of the scapula and glenohumoral joint, retraction of the scapula
Describe the clavicle joints
Medially, it projects outwards and joins with the manubrium (and first clavicle) via the straight sterno-clavicular joint
Laterally, it curves inwards and joints with the acromion via the curved acroio-clavicular joint
Describe the features of the clavicle
Laterally and inferiorly, there is the conoid tubercle and and trapazoid line
Inferiorly and in the middle, there is the subclavian groove (for subclavius)
What inserts on the greater tubercle?
Supraspinatus (superior), Infrapinatous (middle), teres minor (inferior)
What inserts on the lesser tubercle?
Subscapularis
What inserts on the lateral lip of the bicipital groove?
Pectoralis major
What inserts on the medial lip of the bicipital groove?
Teres major
What passes through the bicipital groove of the humerus?
Long head of the biceps brachii
What is the external occipital crest?
A midline groove down the occipital bone, from the protuberance
What is the origin of the transverse part of trapezius?
CVII-TIV
What is the insertion of the transverse part of trapezius?
Spine of the scapula
What is the origin of the ascending part of trapezius?
TIV/V-TXII
What is the action of the transverse part of the trapezius muscle?
Retraction of the scapula
What is the action of the ascending part of the trapezius muscle?
Upward rotation of the glenohumoral joint, retraction of the scapula, depression of the scapula
Explain the pathway of the transverse cervical artery
Aorta, (brachiocephalic trunk), subclavian, thoracodorsal trunk, transverse cervical artery
What is the origin of the latissimus dorsi?
TVII- LV, sacrum, ribs X- XII, thoracocolumbar fascia
What is the attachment of the latissimus dorsi?
Floor of the intertubercule sulcus
What is the action of the latissimus dorsi?
Adduction of the humerus, medial rotation, extension of the humerus
What is the nerve supply of the latissmus dorsi?
Thoracodorsal nerve (C6- C8)
What is thee blood supply to latissimus dorsi?
Thoracodorsal artery
Explain the pathway of the thoracodorsal artery
Aorta, (brachiocephalic trunk), subclavian, axillary, subscapular artery, thoracodorsal artery
What does the posterior layer of thoracocolumbar fascia connect to?
Spinous processes
What does the middle and anterior layer of thoracocolumbar fascia connect to?
Transverse processes
What forms the aponeurosis origin of the transverse abdominus?
At the lateral border of the quadratus lumborum, the anterior layer joins the middle and posterior
What is the origin of rhomboid minor muscle?
CVII- TI (2)
