distal and proximal attachments
innervation
arterial supply
actions
Definition
Distal attachments: Spine of spacula, Acromion, Lateral 1/3 of Clavicle
Proximal attachment: spinous processes of vertebrae
innervation: spinal accessory nerve (cranial nerve xi)
arterial supply: superficial branch of transverse cervical artery
actions: retracts,elevates and depresses scapula, rotates glenoid upward
Term
Rhomboid Minor
proximal and distal attachments
action
Definition
proximal attachment: spinous process, C7-T1 vertebrae
distal attachment: medial border of scapula, superior to spine
actions: retracts and elevates medial border, downwardly rotates lateral angle
Term
rhomboid major
proximal and distal attachments
actions
Definition
proximal attachment: spinous process of T2-T5 vertebrae (directly inferior to minor)
distal attachment: medial border of scapula inferior to spine
actions: retracts and elevates medial border of scapula, downwardly rotates lateral angle
Term
levator scapulae
proximal and distal attachments
actions
Definition
proximal attachment: transverse processes of C1-C4 (neck!)
distal attachment: medial border of scapula
actions: bends neck laterally, elevates medial border of scapula
Term
Deltoid
proximal and distal attachments
actions
arterial supply
innervation
Definition
proximal attachments: spine of scapula, acromion, lateral 1/3 of clavicle
distal attachment: deltoid tuberosity of humerus
actions: abduction of the arm 15-90 degrees, flex and medially rotate shoulder
arterial supply: posterior humeral circumflex artery
innervation: axillary nerve
Term
supraspinatus proximal and distal attachments action
Definition
proximal attachment: supraspinous fossa of scapula
distal attachment: superior aspect of greater tubercle, humerus
action: helps deltoid abduct arm at shoulder, first 10-15 degrees
Term
serratus anterior
proximal and distal attachments
innervation
actions
Definition
proximal attachment:anterior surfaces of first several ribs distal attachment: medial border of scapula innervation: long thoracic nerve actions: abducts and upwardly rotates scapula, stabilizes actions:
Term
winged scapula
Definition
long thoracic nerve is compromised (C5, 6,7), serratus anterior doesn't get innervated, don't get protraction, scapula wings out.

actions
Definition
proximal attachment: lateral border of scapula
distal attachment: medial lip of bicipital groove on humerus
actions: adducts, medially rotates and extends arm at shoulder
Term
