Origins Rhomboid Minor (2) - --- ->> 1. C7 T1 Spinous processes
2. Ligamentum Nuchae - Lower Part
Insertion Middle Trapezius (1) - --- ->> Spine of Scapula Superior Border
Origin Supraspinatus (1) - --- ->> Supraspinous fossa medial 2/3
Action of External Intercostals - --- ->> Elevates Ribs during Inspiration
Origin of External Intercostals - --- ->> Inferior border of rib above
Ventral - --- ->> Near Front of Body
Opposite of Dorsal
Anterior
Actions Levatores Costarum Longis (4) REEL - --- ->> 1. Spinal Rotation to other Side
2. Elevates Ribs during Inspiration
3. Extension Spine
4. Lateral Flexion of Spine
Actions Gemellus Superior (3) HAL - --- ->> 1. Horizantal Extension
2. Abduction - Flexed thigh at Hip
3. Lateral Roation - Extended thigh at hip
Actions Upper Trapezius (3) RUE - --- ->> 1. Rotation Upward Scapulae
2. Elevation Scapulae
3. Retraction (along w/ other Trapezius)
,Insertion Lower Trapezius (1) - --- ->> Spine of Scapulae Medial 1/3
Serratus Anterior Actions (3) PUS - --- ->> 1. Protraction Scapulae
2. Upward rotation Scapulae
3. Stabilization of MEDIAL /vertebral border of scapula THORACIC CAGE along with RHOMBOIDS and
MIDDLE trapezius
Adductor Longus Actions (3) FAM - --- ->> 1. Flexion thigh at Hip (Assists)
2. Adduction
3. Medial Rotation
Isotonic contraction - --- ->> CONSTANT TENSION in muscle as it changes in LENGTH. Can be eccentric or
concentric.
isometric contraction - --- ->> Generates Force in muscle with no change in length. Ex. Grip Strength
Concentric Contraction - --- ->> Muscles SHORTEN while generating force overcoming resistance.
Eccentric Contraction (3) - --- ->> 1) Muscle LENGTHENS while it's still generating force. 2) The resistance
is greater than the force generated. 3) Can be voluntary or involuntary.
flexion - --- ->> def:
- Bending
- Bringing the brings bones closer together joint. sagittal plane
- Exception is Shoulder + Hip Joints > Movement of femur or humerus to the front and upward is flexion.
extension - --- ->> - brings bones away from each other,
-straightens or opening joint. (Ex. elbow away from shoulder)
-sagittal plane
, - Exceptions: Hip and Shoulder Joints - where a return movement of humerus/ femur downward is
considered extension
adduction - --- ->> -moves toward axis of trunk
- medially towards midline.
- frontal plane.
-ex. lowering arms to side or leg back to position
abduction - --- ->> -movement away from axis of trunk.
- ex raising arms horizantally, leg sideways and scapula away from spinal column
Lateral flexion - --- ->> axial skeleton. ex. vertebral or column or neck bending to side
Lateral/ external Rotation - --- ->> - rotation on axis of bone away from the body
ex. humerus rotating outward.
appendicular skeleton.
Refers to hip or shoulder joints
medial/ internal rotation - --- ->> - rotation of joints of bone toward the body
- ex. humerus turned inward
appendicular skeleton. refers to shoulder/ hip joints swinging limbs medially towards midline.
Protraction - --- ->> "Protrude" scapula, jaw or head moving anteriorly
retraction - --- ->> "retreat" head, jaw or scapula move posteriorly
elevation - --- ->> when jaw or scapula move superiorly
depression - --- ->> when jaw or scapula move inferiorly
