Study Notes
Shoulder Muscles
-
Trapezius muscle fibers work together to control scapular movement:
- Upper fibers elevate the scapula
- Middle fibers retract the scapula
- Lower fibers depress the scapula
-
Deltoid abducts the arm (middle fibers), and assists in:
- Medial/lateral rotation (anterior/posterior fibers)
- Flexion/extension (anterior/posterior fibers)
-
Teres Minor laterally rotates the arm
-
Teres Major adducts and medially rotates the arm
-
Rhomboid Major and Minor retract the scapula
- Major extends from T2-T5 spinous processes to the medial border of the scapula
- Minor extends from C7/T1 spinous processes and nuchal ligament to the medial border of the scapula
-
Latissimus Dorsi extends, adducts, and medically rotates the humerus
-
Supraspinatus abducts the arm
-
Infraspinatus laterally rotates the arm
-
Subscapularis medially rotates the arm
-
Pectoralis Major adducts and medially rotates the humerus
-
Pectoralis Minor depresses the scapula
Arm Muscles
-
Serratus Anterior protracts the scapula
-
Coracobrachialis flexes and adducts the arm
-
Biceps Brachii flexes and supinates the arm
