Final muscles Flashcards
(183 cards)
Lat dorsi origin
Spinous processes of inferior 6 thoracic vertebrae, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, and inferior 3 or 4 ribs (~inferior angle of scapula)
lat dorsi insertion
floor of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
lat dorsi innervation
thoracodorsal nerve C6 C7 C8
lat dorsi action
Extends, adducts, and medially rotates humerus; raises body towards arms during climbing
trapezius origin
Medial third of superior nuchal line; external occipital protuberance; nuchal ligament; spinous processes of C7-T12 vertebrae
trapezius insertion
lateral third of clavicle; acromion and spine of scapula
trapezius innervation
spinal accessory n. (CN XI) (motor fibers) and C3, C4 spinal nerves (pain and proprioceptive fibers
trapezius actions
Descending: elevates
Ascending: depresses
Middle/all parts together: retracts scapula
Descending and ascending: rotate glenoid cavity superiorly
SCM origin
Sternal head: anterior surface of manubrium of sternum
Clavicular head: superior surface of medial third of clavicle
SCM insertion
Lateral surface of mastoid process of temporal bone and lateral half of superior nuchal line
SCM innervation
Spinal accessory nerve (CN XI, motor); C2 and C3 nerves (pain and proprioception)
SCM action
Unilateral contraction: tilts head to same side (i.e. laterally flexes neck) and rotates it so face is turned superiorly toward opposite side Bilateral contraction: (1) extends neck at atlanto-occipital joints, (2) flexes cervical vertebrae so that chin approaches manubrium, (3) extends superior cervical vertebrae while flexing inferior vertebrae so chin is thrust forward with head kept level
With cervical vertebrae fixed, may elevate manubrium and medial ends of clavicles, assisting pump-handle action of deep respiration
serratus anterior origin
External surfaces of lateral parts of 1st- 8th ribs
serratus anterior insertion
anterior surface of medial border of scapula
serratus anterior innervation
Long thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7)
serratus anterior action
Protracts scapula and holds it against thoracic wall, rotates scapula superiorly
rhomboid M origin
Spinous processes of T2-T5 vertebrae
rhomboid M insertion
Medial border of scapula from level of spine to inferior angle
rhomboid M innervation
dorsal scapular C4 C5
rhomboid M action
retract scapula and rotate glenoid cavity inferiorly; fix scapula to thoracic wall
rhomboid m origin
nuchal ligament; spinous processes of C7 and T1 vertebrae
rhomboid m insertion
smooth triangular area at end of medial spine
rhomboid m innervation
dorsal scapular C4 C5
rhomboid m action
retract scapula and rotate glenoid cavity inferiorly; fix scapula to thoracic wall
