Dorsal Scapular Flashcards
Deltoid MA
clavicular: flexion and IR of arm
acromial: abducts arm
spinal: extends and ER arm
deltoid PA
clavicle, acromian, and spine of scapula
deltoid DA
deltoid tuberosity of humerus
deltoid N
axillary nerve (C5, C6)
pectoralis major MA
adducts and IR humerus
HADD of scapula (draws it anteriorly and inferiorly)
clavicular head: flexion of humerus
sternocostal head: extends it from the flexed position
pectoralis major PA
clavicular head: clavicle
sternocostal head: sternum, superior 6 costal cartilages, external oblique muscle
pectoralis major DA
lateral lip of the intertubercular sulcus
pectoralis major N
lateral and medial pectoral nerves
clavicular head (C5, C6)
sternocostal head (C7, C8, T1)
pectoralis minor MA
stabilizes scapula (draws it inferiorly and anteriorly - shrugging forward)
with scapula fixed: assists to elevate the thorax during forced inhalation
pectoralis minor PA
third, fourth, and fifth ribs near their costal cartilage
pectoralis minor DA
coracoid process
pectoralis minor N
medial pectoris nerve (C8, T1); lateral pectoral nerve
infraspinatus MA
ER of shoulder (IMPORTANT ER muscle!)
stabilize head of humerus in glenoid cavity
infraspinatus PA
infraspinatus fossa
infraspinatus DA
greater tubercle of humerus
infraspinatus N
suprascapular nerve (C5, C6)
teres major MA
(lats little brother)
adduct the shoulder
IR shoulder
teres major PA
interior angle of the scapula
teres major DA
medial lip of the intertubercular sulcus
teres major N
lower subscapular nerve (C5, C6)
supraspinatus MA
assists in abduction of the arm
Stabilize the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity
Supraspinatus PA
supraspinous fossa
supraspinatus DA
greater tubercle of humerus
supraspinatus N
suprascapular nerve (C4, C5, C6)
