MUSCLES OF THE SHOULDER REGION (THORACOAPPENDICULAR AND SCAPULOHUMERAL REGION) 18/11/2012 1
Muscles of the pectoral region are divided into anterior and posterior muscles. Four anterior thoracoappendicular (pectoral) muscles move the pectoral girdle: Pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, subclavius , and serratus anterior. 18/11/2012 2
MUSCLE ORIGIN INSERTION INNERVATION ACTION Pectoralis major Clavicular head: anterior surface of medial half of clavicle . Sternocostal head: anterior surface of sternum, superior six costal cartilages, and aponeurosis of external oblique muscle Lateral lip of intertubercular groove of humerus Lateral and medial pectoral nerves; clavicular head (C5 and C6), sternocostal head (C7, C8, and T1) Adducts and medially rotates humerus; draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly Acting alone: clavicular head flexes humerus and stemocostal head extends it . 18/11/2012 3

POSTERIOR THORACOAPPENDICULAR 18/11/2012 10
The two most superficial muscles of the shoulder are the trapezius and deltoid muscles. Together , they provide the characteristic contour of the shoulder: trapezius attaches the scapula and clavicle to the trunk; deltoid attaches the scapula and clavicle to the humerus. 18/11/2012 11
18/11/2012 12
Both trapezius and deltoid are attached to opposing surfaces and margins of the spine of the scapula, acromion, and clavicle. The scapula, acromion, and clavicle can be palpated between the attachments of trapezius and deltoid. 18/11/2012 13
Deep to trapezius the scapula is attached to the vertebral column by three muscles- levator scapulae, rhomboid minor and rhomboid major. These three muscles work with trapezius (and with muscles found anteriorly) to position the scapula on the trunk. 18/11/2012 14
MUSCLE ORIGIN INSERTION INNERVATION ACTION Trapezius 1. Superior nuchal line, 2. external occipital protuberance, 3. medial margin of the ligamentum nuchae , 4. spinous processes of CVII to TXII and 5. the related supraspinous ligaments 1. Superior edge of the crest of the spine of the scapula, 2. acromion, 3. posterior border of lateral one-third of clavicle Motor spinal part of accessory nerve (CN XI). Sensory (proprioception) anterior rami of C3 and C4 1. Powerful elevator of the scapula; 2. rotates the scapula during abduction of humerus above horizontal; 3. middle fibers retract scapula; 4. lower fibers depress scapula 18/11/2012 15
18/11/2012 16
MUSCLE ORIGIN INSERTION INNERVATION ACTION Deltoid 1. Inferior edge of the crest of the spine of the scapula, 2. lateral margin of the acromion, 3. anterior border of lateral one-third of clavicle Deltoid tuberosity of humerus Axillary nerve [C5,C6] Major abductor of arm (abducts arm beyond initial 15° done by supraspinatus); clavicular fibers assist in flexing the arm; posterior fibers assist in extending the arm 18/11/2012 17
MUSCLE ORIGIN INSERTION INNERVATION ACTION Levator scapulae Transverse processes of CI and CII vertebrae and posterior tubercles of transverse processes of CIII and CIV vertebrae Posterior surface of medial border of scapula from superior angle to root of spine of the scapula Branches directly from anterior rami of C3 and C4 spinal nerves and by branches [C5] from the dorsal scapular nerve Elevates the scapula 18/11/2012 18
MUSCLE ORIGIN INSERTION INNERVATION ACTION Rhomboid minor Lower end of ligamentum nuchae and spinous processes of CVII and TI vertebrae Posterior surface of medial border of scapula at the root of the spine of the scapula Dorsal scapular nerve [C4,C5] Elevates and retracts the scapula 18/11/2012 19

MUSCLES OF THE POSTERIOR SCAPULAR REGION( SCAPULOHUMERAL REGION) 18/11/2012 21
The posterior scapular region occupies the posterior aspect of the scapula and is located deep to the trapezius and deltoid muscle. It contains four muscles, which pass between the scapula and proximal end of the humerus : the supraspinatus, infraspinatus , teres minor, and teres major muscles. 18/11/2012 22
The posterior scapular region also contains part of one additional muscle, the long head of the triceps brachii , which passes between the scapula and the proximal end of the forearm. This muscle, along with other muscles of the region and the humerus, participates in forming a number of spaces through which nerves and vessels enter and leave the region. 18/11/2012 23
The supraspinatus, infraspinatus , and teres minor muscles are components of the rotator cuff, which stabilizes the glenohumeral joint. 18/11/2012 24
