Pectoralis major action?
origin? insertion?
adducts, medially rotates humerus; flexes humerus.
medial onethird clavicle, anterior surface sternum. lateral lip of bicepital groove
Pectoralis minor origin? insertion? action?
ribs 3-5. coracoid process. rotates scapula (tilts glenoid fossa inferiorly)
Serratus anterior origin? insertion? action?
external surface ribs 1-8. anterior surface medial border scapula. protracts scapula and fixes it against thorax
Trapezius origin? insertion? action?
external occipital protuberance, spinous processes C7-T12. lateral one third clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula. elevates (superior fibres) retracts (middle fibers) depresses scapula
Rhomboideus major origin? insertion? action?
spines of 2-5 thoracic vertebrae. medial border scapula, inferior to spine. retracts scapula and assists in holding it against thorax
Rhomdoideus minor origin? insertion? action?
spines of 7th cervical and 1st thoracic vertebrae. medial border scapula, level of spine to inferior angle. retracts scapula and assists in holding against thorax
Latissimus dorsi origin? insertion? action?
inferior to 6 thoracic vertebrae, iliac crest, inferior 3-4 ribs. intertubercular groove. extends, adducts, rotates humerus medially at shoulder joint; internal rotation
Deltoid origin? insertion? action?
lateral one third clavicle, acromion, spine scapula. deltoid tuberosity. abduction of humerus at shoulder joint, anterior flexion and medial rotation, extensor and lateral rotation (posterior)
Supraspinatus origin? insertion? action?
supraspinous fossa. greater tubercle. laterally rotates humerus, assists deltoid in abduction (0-15 degrees)
Infraspinatus origin? insertion? action?
infraspinous fossa. greater tubercle. abduction 0-15 degrees
Teres minor origin? insertion? action?
axiallry/lateral border. greater tubercle. abduction 0-15 degrees
Subscapularis origin? insertion? action?
subscapular fossa. lesser tubercle. medially rotates and adducts humerus
Teres major origin? insertion? action?
inferior angle scapula. intertubercular groove. adduction and medial rotation
Coracobrachialis origin? insertion? action?
coracoid process. middle one third medial aspect humerus. flex and adduct humerus
Biceps brachii origin? insertion? action?
short head: coracoid process, long head: supraglenoid tubercle. radial tuberosity. flexion of forearm, supinator when flexed
Brachialis origin? insertion? action?
distal half anterior surface humerus. coronoid process. main flexor
Triceps brachii origin? insertion? action?
long head: infraglenoid tubercle, lateral head: post. humerus superior to radial groove, medial head: post. humerus, inferior to radial groove. olecranon process. main extensor, stabilizes shoulder, adduction
Pronator teres origin? insertion? action?
medial epicondyle humerus and coronoid process ulna. mid-lateral radius. pronates forearm at radioulnar joint and weakly flexes forearm at elbow joint
Flexor carpi radialis origin? insertion? action?
medial epicondyle humerus. 2nd and 3rd metacarpal. flexes and abducts hand at wrist joint
Palmaris longus origin? insertion? action?
medial epicondyle. flexor retinaculum and palmar aponeurosis. weak flexion of hand at wrist
What muscles attach at the medial epicondyle?
Flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, pronator teres, flexor digitorum superficialis
Flexor carpi ulnaris insertion? action?
posterior border ulna. extends and abducts hand at wrist joint
What is the nerve that innervates the Superficial layer of the forearm?
medial nerve exception flexor carpi ulnaris = ulnar nerve
Flexor digitorum superficialis origin? insertion? action?
medial epicondyle, coronoid process ulna, ridge along margin of anterior surface of radius. bodies of middle phalanx of each finger. flexes middle phalanx of each finger at proximal interphalangeal joint, proximal phalanx of each finger at metacarpophalangeal joint, and hand at wrist joint
Which muscles attach at the lateral epicondyle?
Extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, extensor carpi ulnaris
