Question
Answer
Latissimus dorsi Origin   vertebral spines from T7 to the sacrum, posterior third of the iliac crest, lower 3 or 4 ribs, sometimes from the inferior angle of the scapula  
🗑
Latissimus dorsi Insertion   floor of the intertubercular groove  
🗑
Latissimus dorsi Action   extends the arm and rotates the arm medially  
🗑
Latissimus dorsi Innervation   thoracodorsal nerve (C7,8) from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus  
🗑
Latissimus dorsi Artery   thoracodorsal a.  
🗑
What is a unique feature of the inserting end of the Latissimus dorsi   the inserting tendon twists so that fibers originating highest insert lowest and vice versa  
🗑
Levator scapulae Origin   transverse processes of C1-C4 vertebrae  
🗑
Levator scapulae Insertion   medial border of the scapula from the superior angle to the spine  
🗑
Levator scapulae Action   elevates the scapula  
🗑
Levator scapulae Innervation   dorsal scapular nerve (C5); the upper part of the muscle receives branches of C3 & C4  
🗑
Levator scapulae Artery   dorsal scapular a.  
🗑
Rhomboideus major Origin   spines of vertebrae T2-T5  
🗑
Rhomboideus major Insertion   medial border of the scapula inferior to the spine of the scapula  
🗑
Rhomboideus major Action   retracts, elevates and rotates the scapula inferiorly  
🗑
Rhomboideus major Innervation   dorsal scapular nerve (C5)  
🗑
Rhomboideus major Artery   dorsal scapular a.  
🗑
Rhomboideus minor Origin   inferior end of the ligamentum nuchae, spines of vertebrae C7 and T1  
🗑
Rhomboideus minor Insertion   medial border of the scapula at the root of the spine of the scapula  
🗑
Rhomboideus minor Action   retracts, elevates and rotates the scapula inferiorly  
🗑
Rhomboideus minor Innervation   dorsal scapular nerve (C5)  
🗑
Rhomboideus minor Artery   dorsal scapular a  
🗑
Serratus anterior Origin   ribs 1-8 or 9  
🗑
Serratus anterior Insertion   medial border of the scapula on its costal (deep) surface  
🗑
Serratus anterior Action   it draws the scapula forward; the inferior fibers rotate the scapula superiorly  
🗑
Serratus anterior Innervation   long thoracic nerve (from ventral rami C5-C7)  
🗑
Serratus anterior Artery   lateral thoracic a.  
🗑
A lesion of the Long Thoracic Nerve will cause what condition?   a lesion of long thoracic nerve will cause winging of the scapula (i.e., the medial border of the scapula falls away from the posterior chest wall and looks like an angel's wing)  
🗑
Trapezius Origin   medial third of the superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, ligamentum nuchae, spinous processes of vertebrae C7-T12  
🗑
Trapezius Insertion   lateral third of the clavicle, medial side of the acromion and the upper crest of the scapular spine, tubercle of the scapular spine  
🗑
Trapezius Action   elevates and depresses the scapula (depending on which part of the muscle contracts); rotates the scapula superiorly; retracts scapula  
🗑
Trapezius Innervation   motor: spinal accessory (XI), proprioception: C3-C4  
🗑
Trapezius Artery   transverse cervical a.  
🗑
