Muscles: Test 2 Flashcards
(205 cards)
Insertion of the Trapezuis
Lateral Third of the clavicle
acromion
spine of the scapula
origin of the Trapezuis
Medial Third of the superior nuchal line
EOP
nuchal ligament
Spinous processes of C7-T12 vertebrae
innervation of the trapezuis
spinal accessory nerve (CV XI)
C3,C4 spinal nerves
Actions of Trapezuis
Descending (superior): Elevates
Ascending (inferior): depresses
Middle/all together: retracts scapula, rotate glenoid cavity superiorly
Rhomboid Major Origin
spinous process of T2-T5 verterbrae
Rhomboid major insertion
medial third of the scapula from level of spine to inferior angl
Rhomboid minor origin
nuchal ligament,
spinous processes of C7-T1 vertebrae
Rhomboid Minor insertion
triangular area of medial end of scapular spine
Rhomboid Innervation
dorsal scapular nerve (C4,C5)
Rhomboid action
Retract scapula and rotate it to depress glenoid cavity
fix scapular to thoracic wall
Levator Scapulae origin
posterior tubercles of transverse processes of C1-C4 vertebrae
Levator Scapulae Insertion
Medial border of the scapula superior to the root of spine
levator scapulae Innervation
Dorsal scapular nerve (C5)
C3,C4 spinal nerves
levator scapulae actions
elevates scapula and tilts gleniod cavity inferiorly by rotating scapula
Supraspinatus Origin
Supraspinous fossa of scapula
supraspinatus insertion
superior facet of the greater tubercle of humerus
supraspinatus innervation
suprascapular nerve (C4,C5,C6)
supraspinatus actions
initiates and assists deltoid: abduction of should joint
and acts with other rotator cuff muscles
Infraspinatus Origin
Infraspinous fossa of scapula
infraspinatus Insertion
middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus
Infraspinatus innervation
suprascapular nerve (C5,C6)
Infraspinatus actions
laterally rotates should joint,
helps hold humeral head in glenoid cavity of scapula
Teres Minor origin
middle part of lateral border of scapula
teres minor insertion
inferior facet of greater tubercle of humerus
