Trapezius Origin

­medial ⅓ of superior nuchal line



occipital bone external occipital protuberance




ligamentum nuchae ­




spinous process of vertebrae C7-­T12 (and associated supraspinous ligament)

Trapezius Insertion

­superior fibers: lateral ⅓ clavicle



middle fibers: acromion process, spine of scapula
