Question Answer
4 muscles of the rotator cuff 1. Supraspinatus 2. Infraspinatus 3. Teres minor 4. Subscapularis
Supraspinatus - origin Supraspinous fossa of scapula
Supraspinatus - insertion Greater tuberosity of humerus
Spuraspinatus - innervation Suprascapular nerve
Supraspinatus - function First 15 degrees of abduction of the shoulder
Infraspinatus - origin Infraspinous fossa of scapula
Infraspinatus - insertion Greater tuberosity of humerus
Infraspinatus - innervation Suprascapular nerve
Infraspinatus - function External rotation of the shoulder
Teres minor - origin Lateral border of scapula
Teres minor - insertion Greater tuberosity of humerus
Teres minor - innervation Axillary nerve
Teres minor - function 1. Weakly adducts the humeral head to prevent it from sliding superiorly during abduction 2. External rotation of the shoulder
Teres major - origins 1. Inferior angle of scapula 2. Inferior lateral border of scapula
Teres major - insertion Crest of lesser tuberosity of humerus
Teres major - innervation Lower subscapular nerve
Teres major - functions 1. Adduction 2. Extension 3. Internal rotation ...of the shoulder
Subscapularis - origin Subscapular fossa of scapula
Subscapularis - insertion Lesser tuberosity of humerus
Subscapularis - innervation Subscapular nerves
Subscapularis - function Internal rotation of the shoulder
Deltoid - origins 1. Acromion 2. Lateral 1/3 of clavicle 3. Spine of scapula
Deltoid - insertions Deltoid tuberosity
Deltoid - innervation Axillary nerve
Deltoid - functions 1. Abduction (15-90 degrees) 2. Internal rotation and flexion (anterior deltoid) 3. External rotation and extension (posterior deltoid) ...of the shoulder
Coracobrachialis - origin Coracoid process
Coracobrachialis - insertion Medial surface of middle of body of humerus
Coracobrachialis - innervation Musculocutaneous nerve
Coracobrachialis - function 1. Adduction of the shoulder 2. Flexion of the shoulder
Biceps brachii - origin 1. Coracoid process (short head) 2. Supraglenoid tubercle (long head)
Biceps brachii - insertion Radial tuberosity
Biceps brachii - innervation Musculocutaneous nerve
Biceps brachii - function 1. Flexion of the shoulder and elbow 2. Supination of the elbow
Brachialis - origin Anterior surface of the distal half of humerus
Brachialis - insertion Ulna tuberosity
Brachialis - innervation 1. Musculocutaneous nerve 2. Radial nerve (double innervation in 70-80% of people)
Brachialis - function Flexion of the elbow
Triceps brachii - origin 1. Infraglenoid tubercle of scapula (long head) 2. Proximal / dorsal surface of humerus (medial and lateral heads)
Triceps brachii - insertion Olecranon of ulna
Triceps brachii - innervation Radial nerve
Triceps brachii - function 1. Extension of the elbow 2. Adduction of the shoulder
Anconeus - origin Lateral epicodyle of humerus
Anconeus - insertion Olecranon of ulna
Anconeus - innervation Radial nerve
Anconeus - function 1. Extension of elbow (trivial) 2. Stabilises the elbow joint
