FINAL OIAIN's Flashcards
(42 cards)
What are the innervations for the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, levator scapulae, rhomboid major, and rhomboid minor muscles?
Trapezius - accessory nerve
Latissimus Dorsi - thoracodorsal
Levator scapulae, rhomboid major, and rhomboid minor - dorsal scapular
Most of the superficial gluteal muscles are innervated by the _______ gluteal nerve, with the exception of which muscle>
superior; the gluteus Maximus is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve.
What is the origin for the gluteus Maximus muscle? Hint: There are 6!
Fascia of the gluteus medius and erector spinae, posterior ilium, dorsal sacrum, coccyx, and the sacrotuberal ligament
Match the correct muscle to the origin.
Posterior ilium between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines.
Posterior ilium between the anterior and posterior gluteal line.
anterior and inferior - minimus
anterior and posterior - medius
What two muscles both work to abduct the femur and stabilize the pelvis in a single leg stance?
Gluteus minimus and medius
All deep gluteal muscles have an insertion point at the greater trochanter except:
quadratus femoris
Common action of deep gluteal muscles, with the exception of the quadratus femoris muscle?
laterally rotate the extended hip and abduct the flexed femur
What is the origin for the inferior gemellus muscle?
upper ischial tuberosity
Which muscles of the scapula insert at the greater tubercle? Which insert at the lesser tubercle of the humerus?
Greater tubercle - supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor Lesser tubercle - teres major, subscapularis
Which scapular muscle is the chief medial rotator of the humerus? What are its other actions?
Subscapularis; can also stabilize the shoulder joint and hold the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity
Which scapular muscles function to hold the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity?
Infraspinatus and the subscapularis muscles
Which scapular muscle is important in preventing dislocation of the shoulder joint when load is involved?
Which muscles do lateral rotation of the humerus?
Which do medial rotation?
Which is NOT a rotator cuff muscle?
supraspinatus
Infraspinatus and teres minor do lateral rotation
subscapularis does medial rotation
Teres major
The muscles of the anterior arm are mostly innervated by which nerve? The triceps brachii is innervated by which nerve?
Biceps brachii, brachialis, and bracobrachialis are all innervated by the musculocutaneous Triceps - radial
What are the origins for triceps brachii?
Long - infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Medial - posterior humeral shaft, distal to radial groove
Lateral - posterior humeral shaft
Innervation for the piriformis muscle?
Branches of S1-S2
Quadratus femoris origin, insertion, and action?
Origin - lateral ischial tuberosity
Insertion - quadrate tubercle on intertrochanteric crest
Action - laterally rotate femur
What is the action for the infraspinatus muscle, which inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus?
Lateral rotation of the humerus

Origin, insertion, and action for the teres minor?
Origin - lateral border of the scapula
Insertion - greater tubercle
Action - lateral rotation of the humerus
Origin, insertion, and action for the teres major?
Origin - posterior scapula at the inferior angle
Insertion - crest of lesser tubercle
Action - medially rotate, abduct, and extend the humerus
Which muscles of the scapula both insert at the lesser tubercle of the humerus?
Which is a chief MEDIAL ROTATOR of the humerus?
Subscapularis and teres major
subscapularis
Action of the coracobrachialis muscle?
Flexion and adduction of the humerus.
Origin and insertion for the brachialis muscle?
Origin = distal humerus
Insertion = coronoid process of the ulna
Origins for the triceps brachii muscle?
Lateral = posterior shaft of humerus
Long = infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Medial = posterior shaft of humerus
What are the insertions for the flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris, which are superficial muscles from the anterior forearm?
Flexor Carpi Radialis
- Insertion = base of second and third metacarpals
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
- Insertion = pisiform, hamate, and base of 5th metacarpal
