Term
sternocleidomastoid
Definition
O: manubrium of sternum and medial portion of clavicle
I: mastoid process and nuchal line of occipital bone
A: both-flexion of neck forward; singular- rotate head side to side
Term
trapezius
Definition
O: occipital bone; ligamentum nuchae; spines of c7 and all thoracic vertebrae
I: acromion and spinous process of scapula; lateral third of clavicle
A: extends head; raises rotates and retracts scapula and stabilizes it; elevate and depress scapula
Term
latissimus dorsi
Definition
O: indirect attachemnt to tspinous proesses of lower 6 thoracic vert, lumbar vert, last 3 ribs, and iliac crest
I: floor of intertubercular groove of humerus
A: arm extension; adducts and medially rotates arm; depresses scapula; power stroke
Term
teres minor
Definition
O: lateral margin of scapula
I: greater tubercle of humerus
A: lateral rotation fo numerus; helps hold head of numerus in glenoid cavity; stabilize shoulder
Term
teres major
Definition
O: posterrios surface at inferior anlfle of scapula
I: intertubercular groove of humerus
A: extends, medially rotates, and adducts humerus; synergist fo latissimus dorsi
Term
supraspinatus
Definition
O: supraspinous fossa of scapula
I: greater tubercle of humerus
A: assists abduction of humerus; stabilizes shoulder joint
Term
levator scapulae
Definition
O: transverse processes of c1-c4
I: medial border of scapula superior to spine
A: elevates and adducts scapula; flexes neck to same side
Term
rhomboids (minor and major)
Definition
O: spinous processes of c7 and t1-t5
I: medial border of scapula
A: pulls scapula medially (retraction); stabilizes scapula; rotates glenoid cavity downward
Term
pectoralis minor
Definition
O: anterior surface of ribs 3-5, near their costal cartilages
I: coracoid process of scapula
A: with ribs fixed, draws scapula forward and inferiorly; w/scapula fixed, draws rib cage superiorly
Term
deltoid
Definition
O: lateral 1/3 of clavicle; acromion and spine of scapula
I: deltoid tuberosity of humerus
A: prime mover of arm abduction; or can aid in flexion, extension and rotation of humerus
Term
triceps brachii
Definition
O: long-inferior margin of glenoid cavity; lateral-posterios humerus; medial-distal radial groove on posterior humerus
I: olecranon process of ulna
A: forearm extensor; antagonist of flexors
Term
biceps brachii
Definition
O: short head-coracoid process; tendon of long head in intertubercular groove
I: radial tuberosity
Term
brachioradialis
Definition
O: lateral ridge at distal end of humerus
I: base of styloid process of radius
A: synergist in forearm flexion
Term
brachialis
Definition
O: distal portion of anterior humerus
I: coronoid process of ulna
A: major forearm flexor
Term
iliopsosas
Definition
O: iliacus-iliac fossa and crest, lateral sacrum; psosas major-transverse processes, bodies, and discs of t12 and lumbar vert
I: on and just below lesser trochanter of femur
A: flex trunk of thigh; flex thigh; lateral flexion of vert column
Term
rectus abdominus
Definition
O: pubic crest and symphysis
I: xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs 5-7
A: flexes and rotates vert column; inc abdominal pressure; fixes and depresses ribs; stabilazes pelvis during walking; used in sit-ups and curls
Term
tibialis anterior
Definition
O: lateral condylfe and upoer 2/3 of tibia; interosseous membrane
I: by tendon into inferior surface of first cuneiform and metatarsal 1
A: prime mover of dorsiflexion; inverts foot; supports longitudinal arch of foot
