Pectoralis Minor Origin: Ribs (3-5) Insertion: Coracoid process on Scapula Action: Pulls scapula downward and forward (abduct)
Pectoralis Minor Origin: Ribs (3-5) Insertion: Coracoid process on Scapula Action: Pulls scapula downward and forward (abduct)
Pectoralis Minor Origin: Ribs (3-5) Insertion: Coracoid process on Scapula Action: Pulls scapula downward and forward (abduct)
Serratus Anterior Origin: Ribs (upper 8) Insertion: Anterior vertebral border of Scapula Action: Pulls scapula against the chest wall
Serratus Anterior Origin: Ribs (upper 8) Insertion: Anterior vertebral border of Scapula Action: Pulls scapula against the chest wall
External Intercostals Origin: Inferior border of rib above Insertion: Superior border of rib below Actions: -Pull ribs towards one another to elevate rib cage -Aid in inspiration (synergist to diaphragm)
Internal intercostals Origin: Superior border of rib below Insertion: Inferior border of rib above Actions: -Draws ribs together to depress rib cage -Aid in expiration (antagonist to diaphragm)
External Oblique Origin: Ribs (lower 8) Insertion: iliac crest of Ilium, Linea alba Actions: -Flexes vertebrae and compresses abdomen -Rotates and flexes trunk laterally
Internal Oblique Origin: iliac crest of Ilium Insertions: -Pubis and lower ribs -Linea alba Action: -Flexes vertebrae and compresses abdomen -Rotates and flexes trunk laterally
Internal Oblique Origin: iliac crest of Ilium Insertions: -Pubis and lower ribs -Linea alba Action: -Flexes vertebrae and compresses abdomen -Rotates and flexes trunk laterally
Rectus Abdominus Origin: crest & symphysis of Pubic bone Insertion: - xiphoid process of Sternum -Ribs (costal cartilages of ribs 5-7) Action: -Stabilizes pelvis - Flexes & rotates lumbar vertebrae
Rectus Abdominus Origin: crest & symphysis of Pubic bone Insertion: - xiphoid process of Sternum -Ribs (costal cartilages of ribs 5-7) Action: -Stabilizes pelvis - Flexes & rotates lumbar vertebrae
Trapezius Origin: -Occipital bone -Thoracic vertebrae Insertion: -Clavicle - spine and acromion process of Scapula Actions: -Elevates and adducts scapula -Extends neck
Trapezius Origin: -Occipital bone -Thoracic vertebrae Insertion: -Clavicle - spine and acromion process of Scapula Actions: -Elevates and adducts scapula -Extends neck
Teres Major Origin: inferior angle of Scapula Insertion: lesser tubercle of Humerus Action: Adducts, extends, and medially rotates arm at shoulder joint (synergist to latissimus dorsi)
Teres Minor Origin: Lateral border of Scapula Insertion: Greater tubercle of Humerus Action: -Holds head stable in glenoid cavity - Rotates arm laterally
Supraspinatus Origin: Supraspinous fossa of scapula Insertion: Greater tubercle of Humerus Actions: - Holds head of humerus stable in glenoid cavity -Abducts arm (30 degrees)
Infraspinatus Origin: infraspinous fossa of Scapula Insertion: Greater tubercle of Humerus Action: Holds head of humerus stable in glenoid cavity -Rotates arm laterally
Rhomboid Major Origin: Vertebrae (C7–T5) Insertion: medial border of Scapula Actions: Stabilizes and adducts scapula
Rhomboid Minor Origin: Vertebrae (C7–T5) Insertion: medial border of Scapula Actions: Stabilizes and adducts scapula
Levator Scapulae Origin: upper cervical of Vertebrae Insertion: Superior scapula Actions: Elevates and adducts scapula
Latissimus Dorsi Origin: lumbodorsal fascia of Vertebrae -Iliac crest & ribs (lower 4) Insertion: Humerus(intertubercular sulcus) Action: Adducts, extends, medially rotates arm at shouldar joint.
