What is the blue line?

Rhomboid major, part of layer two in the back:
- originates from spinal processes of T2-T5 and inserts on medial scapula (below scapular spine) and is deep to trapezius

Red line?

Rhomboid minor, 2nd layer:
- originates off of spinal processes C7-T1 and inserts on medial scapula on (scapular spine) and deep to traps
- Dorsal scapular artery and nerve
- Part of rotator cuff
- Supports scapula rotates glenoid cavity inferiorly, retracts the scapula, elevate scapula
What is purple
Levaor Scapulae layer 2
- originates from TP of C1-C4 inserts on scapular spine
- elevate scapula rotate glenoid cavity inferiorly and when scapula is fixed extend and laterally flex neck
- Dorsal scapular artery and nerve
- Dorsal scapular artery can arise from subclavian or a branch off of transverse cervical artery
What is the highlighted part?

Adductor Brevis!
- Deep to pectineus and adductor longus
- Attaches on pubis body and inferior ramus and proximal linea aspera
- Obturator nerve
- Flex and adduct thigh
Obturator externus
- deep to pectineus
- Attaches external margins of obturator foramen and trochanteric fossa
- Innervated by obturator nerve
Adductor Magnus
Longest adductor muscle superior part is deep to adductor brevis
Has and adductor portion and a hamstirng portion
- Adductor part is obturator nerve
- Adductor originates on ischiopubic ramus and attaches ongluteal tuberosity linea aspera and medial supracondylar line
- Adductor part adducts and flexes thigh
- Hamstring part is Tibial division of sciatic nerve
