Teres Minor innervation
|
Axillary nerve
|
|
Supraspinatus origin and insertion
|
origin: Supraspinous fossa of scapula; insertion: Superior part of greater tubercle of humerus
|
|
Infraspinatus action
|
Helps to hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity; rotates humerus laterally
|
|
Infraspinatus innervation
|
Suprascapular nerve
|
|
Subscapularis origin and insertion
|
origin: Subscapular fossa of scapula; insertion: Lesser tubercle of humerus
|
|
Supraspinatus action
|
Stabilizes shoulder joint; helps to prevent downward dislocation of humerus, as when carrying a heavy suitcase; assists in abduction
|
|
Supraspinatus innervation
|
Suprascapular nerve
|
|
Deltoid origin and insertion
|
origin: Embraces insertion of the trapezius; lateral third of clavicle; acromion and spine of scapula; insertion: Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
|
|
Subscapularis action
|
Chief medial rotator of humerus; assisted by pectoralis major; helps to hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity, thereby stabilizing shoulder joint
|
|
Subscapularis innervation
|
Subscapular nerves (C5-C7)
|
|
Latissimus Dorsi origin and insertion
|
origin: Indirect attachment via lumbodorsal fascia into spines of lower six thoracic vertebrae, lower 3 to 4 ribs, and iliac crest; also from scapula’s inferior angle; insertion: Spirals around teres major to insert in floor of intertubercular groove of humerus
|
|
Deltoid action
|
Prime mover of arm abduction when all its fibers contract simultaneously; antagonist of pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, which adduct the arm; if only anterior fibers are active, can act powerfully in flexion and medial rotation of humerus, therefore synergist of pectoralis major; if only posterior fibers are active, effects extension and lateral rotation of arm; active during rhythmic arm swinging movements during walking
|
|
Deltoid innervation
|
Axillary nerve (C5, C6)
|
|
Pectoralis major origin and insertion
|
Origin: Clavicle, sternum, cartilage of ribs 1-6, and aponeurosis of external oblique muscle; Fibers converge to insert by a short tendon into greater tubercle of humerus
|
|
Latissimus Dorsi action
|
Prime mover of arm extension; powerful arm adductor; medially rotates arm at shoulder; depresses scapula; because of its power in these movements, it plays an important role in bringing the arm down in a power stroke, as in striking a blow, hammering, swimming, and rowing
|
|
Latissimus Dorsi innervation
|
Thoracodorsal nerve
|
|
Pectoralis Major action
|
Prime mover of arm flexion; rotates arm medially; adducts arm against resistance; with scapula (and arm) fixed, pulls rib cage upward, thus can help in climbing, throwing, pushing and in forced inspiration
