Testing your anatomical knowledge :
what are the muscles presented by the letters on the scapula ?
A. Supraspinatus
B. Infraspinatus
C. trapezius
D. Long head of Biceps
E. Long head of triceps
F. Terez Minor
g Lattisimus Dorsii
Shown in the figure are all scapular muscles with different action on shoulder girdle.Trapizius is unique that it is not a scapular muscle therefore not suplied by Brachial plexus.
excellent paradeep . but D is meant to be the deltoid muscle not the long head of biceps , but good work
The subscapularis arises from the medial two thirds of the subscapular fossa.
The serratus anterior is inserted along the medial border of the costal surface-one digitations to the superior angle, two digitations to the medial border, and five digitations to the inferior angle.
The supraspinatus arises from the medial two thirds of the supraspinous fossa (including the upper surface of the spine).
The infraspinatus arises from the medial two thirds of the infraspinous fossa (including the lower surface of the spine).
The deltoid arises from the lower border of the crest of the spine and from the lateral border of the acromion.
The trapezius is inserted into the upper border of the crest of the spine and into the medial border of the acromion.
The long head of the biceps arises from the supraglenoid tubercle; and the short head from the lateral part of the tip of the coracoid process.
The coracobrachialis arises from the medial part of the tip of the coracoid process.
The pectoralis minor is inserted into the medial border and superior surface of the coracoid process.
The long head of the triceps arises from the infraglenoid tubercle.
The teres minor arises from the upper two thirds of the rough strip on the dorsal surface along the lateral border.
The teres major arises from the lower one third of the rough strip on the lateral aspect of the lateral border.
The levator scapulae is inserted along the dorsal aspect of the media border, from the superior angle up to the root of the spine.
The rhomboideus minor is inserted into the medial border (dorsal aspect) opposite the root of the spine.
The rhomboideus major is inserted into the medial border (dorsal aspect) between the root of the spine and the inferior angle.
The inferior belly of the omohyoid arises from the upper border near the suprascapular notch
if arrow is towards scapular spine it is deltoid but if supraglenoid tubercle then Long head of Biceps Brachii.
A- Supraspinatus
B- Infraspinatus
c-Trapezius
D-Deltoid
E- Teres mInor
F- Teres major
G- Latisimus dorsi
Dr vats how are you ? Plz write the the nane energy which is keeping alive those mussles.
