MIND MAP - OUTLINE of muscles of upper extremity
POSTERIOR AND ANTERIOR VIEW of the muscles of upper extremity
Muscles connecting upper limb to thoracic wall
1. Pectoralis Major
origin- sternum, clavical and upper six costal cartilages
insertion- lateral lip of bicipital groove of humerus
nerve supply- lateral and medial pectoral nerves from brachial plexus.
2. pectoralis minor
origin- 3rd, 4th, 5th ribs
insertion- coracoid process of scapula
nerve supply- medial pectoral nerve from brachial plexus.
3. Subscapularis
origin- 1st costal cartilage
insertion- clavicle
nerve supply- nerve to subscapularis from the upper trunk of brachial plexus.
4. Serratus anterior
Origin- upper 8 ribs
Insertion- medial border and inferior bordrer if scapula
Nerve supply- long thoracic nerve
Muscles connecting upper limb tovertebral column
1. Trapezius-
Origin- Occipital bone, ligamentum nuchae, spine of 7th cervical vertebrae, spines of all thoracic vertebrae
Insertion- upper fibers in to lateral 3rd of clavicle, middle & lower fibers into acromion and spine of scapula
Nerve supply- spinal part of accessory nerve and C3 and C4
2. Latissumus dorsi
Origin- iliac crest, lumber fascia, spines of lower thoracic vertebrae, lower 3 or 4 ribs, and inferior angle of scapula
Insertion- floor of bicipital groove of humerus
Nerve supply- thoraco dorsal nerve
3. Lavator scapulae
Origin- transverse processes of 1st four cervical vertebrae
