gravity
levator scapulae
rhomboids
pectoralis minor
A.
external jugular vein
b
cephalic vein
c
Axillary artery
d
Deltoid muscle
Axillary Nerve
Attaches: deltoid tuberosity (lateral humorous)
Anterior fibres - flexion and medial rotation of shoulder
Middle fibres - abduction of shoulder 15-90 (takes over from supraspinatus)
Posterior - extension and lateral rotation of the shoulder
h
axillary vein
j
axillary lymph nodes
k
Serratus anterior
Long thoracic nerve - if damaged - winged scapula
Actions
L
Pectoralis major
Insertion: intertubercular sulcus of humorous
Action: Adduction and Medial rotation of the upper limb (arm)
Also draws the scapula anterior-inferiorly
a
Pectoralis major
Adducts and Medial rotation of the upper limb
Insertion: intertubercular sulcus of humorous
b
Pectoralis minor
Actions
- stabilises the scapula
- pulls scapula anteriorly/inferiorly
Origin: ribs 3-5
Inserts : coracoid process of scapula
a
Serratus Anterior
origin : ribs 1-8 (lateral aspect) - inserts costal part of scapula
b
pectoralis minor
origin - ribs 3-5
inserts- coracoid process of scapula
stabalises the scapula by drawing it anterior/inferiorly against the throacic wall
a
subclavius muscle
origin : junction of first rib/costal cartilage
insertion: medial clavicle
Anchor and DEPRESSES clavicle
a
Subscapularis muscle
Originates at the subscapular fossa (anterior surface of the scapula)
Action: Medial rotation of the arm
