|
16. Pronator Teres
|
Pronates the forearm, and assists in flexion of the elbow joint
|
|
17. Pronator Quadratus
|
Pronates the forearm.
|
|
18. Supinator
|
Supinates the forearm.
|
|
19. Biceps Brachii
|
Flexes the shoulder joint. The short head assists with shoulder adduction. The long head may assist with abduction if the humerus is laterally rotated. With the origin fixed, flexes the elbow joint, moving the forearm toward the humerus and supinates the forearm.With the insertion fixed, flexes the elbow joint, moving the humerus toward the forearm, as in pull-up or chinning exercises.
|
|
20. Brachialis
|
With the origin fixed, flexes the elbow joint, moving the forearm toward the humerus. With the insertion fixed, flexes the elbow joint, moving the humerus toward the forearm, as in pull-up or chinning exercises.
|
|
21. Triceps Brachii
|
Extends the elbow joint. The long head also assists in adduction and extension of the shoulder joint.
|
|
22. Brachioradialis
|
Flexes the elbow joint, and assists in pronating and supinating the forearm when these movements are resisted.
|
|
23. Coracobrachialis
|
Flexes and adducts the shoulder joint.
|
|
24. Supraspinatus
|
Abducts and laterally rotates the shoulder joint, and stabilizes the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity during these movements.
|
|
25. Infraspinatus
|
Laterally rotates the shoulder joint, and stabilizes the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity during movements of this joint.
|
|
26. Teres Minor (inf in photo)
|
Laterally rotates the shoulder joint, and stabilizes the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity during movements of this joint.
|
|
27. Subscapularis (ventral surface)
|
Medially rotates the shoulder joint, and stabilizes the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity during movements of this joint.
|
|
28. Teres Major
|
Medially rotates, adducts, and extends the shoulder joint.
|
|
29. Deltoid
|
Abduction of the shoulder joint, chiefly by the middle fibers, with stabilization by the anterior and posterior fibers. In addition, the anterior fibers flex and, in the supine position, medially rotate the shoulder joint.Posterior fibers extend amd, in prone position, laterally rotate the shoulder joint.
|
|
30. Pectoralis Major (upper)
|
With origin fixed, adducts and medially rotates the humerus. With the insertion fixed, it may assist in elevating the thorax, as in forced inspiration. In crutch walking or parallel-bar work, it will assist in supporting the weight of the body.
|
|
31. Pectoralis Minor
|
With origin fixed, tilts scapula anteriorly. With scapula stabilized to fix the insertion, assists in forced inspiration.
|
|
32. Latissimus Dorsi
|
With the origin fixed, medially rotates, adducts and extends the shoulder joint.By continued action, depresses the shoulder girdle and assists in lateral flexion of the trunk.With the insertion fixed, assists in tilting the pelvis both anteriorly and laterally. Acting bilaterally, this muscle assists in hyperextending the spine and anteriorly tilting the pelvis or in flexing the spine, depending on its relation to the axes of motion. Additionally, may act as an accessory muscle of respiration.
|
|
33. Rhomboids
|
Adduct and elevate the scapula, rotate it so that the glenoid cavity faces caudally.
|
|
34. Levator Scapulae
|
, laterally flexes cervical vertebrae, rotates toward same side. Bilaterally: may assist in extension in cervical spine.
|
|
35. Trapezius
|
Fixed origin:adduction of scapula, chiefly middle fibers, with stabilization by upper and lower fibers. Rotation of scapula so glenoid cavity faces cranially. Upper fibers elevate, lower fibers depress scapula. Fixed insertion unilaterally: upper fibers extend, laterally flex, and rotate the head and joints of cervical vertebrae so face turns toward opposite side. Insertion fixed bilaterally: extends neck. Accessory of respiration.
|
|
36. Trapezius
|
Fixed origin:adduction of scapula, chiefly middle fibers, with stabilization by upper and lower fibers. Rotation of scapula so glenoid cavity faces cranially. Upper fibers elevate, lower fibers depress scapula. Fixed insertion unilaterally: upper fibers extend, laterally flex, and rotate the head and joints of cervical vertebrae so face turns toward opposite side. Insertion fixed bilaterally: extends neck. Accessory of respiration.
|
|
37. Serratus Anterior
|
With the origin fixed, abducts the scapula, rotates the inferior angle laterally and the glenoid cavity cranially, and holds the medial border of the scapula firmly against the rib cage. In addition, the lower fibers may depress the scapula, and the upper fibers may elevate it slightly.
