2. Scapulohumeral muscles
3. Intermuscular spaces in scapular region
4. Axillary nerve

*Name the Axio-appendicular muscles ?*

Anterior Axio-appendicular muscles- (muscles of pectoral region)
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Subclavius
Serratus anterior

Posterior Axio-appendicular muscles-

Trapezius
Latissimus dorsi
Levator scapulae
Rhomboid minor
Rhomboid major

*Actions of trapezius muscle ?*

-Upper fibres of trapezius along with levator scapulae elevate the scapula
-Middle fibres of trapezius along with rhomboids retract the scapula
-Lower fibres of trapezius along with serratus anterior help in overhead
abduction of the shoulder joint

*Nerve supply of trapezius ?*
Spinal part of accessory nerve, Proprioceptive fibres from C3,C4 spinal
segments

*Any other muscle supplied by spinal part of accessory nerve ?*

Sternocleidomastoid

*Actions of Latissimus dorsi muscle?*

Adduction, Medial rotation and Extension of Shoulder joint (as done in
swimming)

*Nerve supply of Latissimus dorsi, its root value ?*

Nerve to Latissimus dorsi, also called as thoracodorsal nerve
Root value – C6,C7,C8 from posterior cord of brachial plexus

*Nerve supply of Levator scapulae ?*

-Directly from C3, C4 spinal segments
-Dorsal scapular nerve (C5)

*Middle fibres of deltoid are which type of muscle ?*

Multipennate

*Any other example of multipennate muscle in upper limb?*
Subscapularis

*Muscles of Rotator cuff / Musculotendinous cuff of shoulder ?*

Subscapularis
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres minor

Mneumonic - SITS
S- Supraspinatus, I- Infraspinatus, T- Teres minor – in greater tubercle of
humerus
S- Subscapularis- in lesser tubercle of humerus

*Contents of Quadrangular space ?*

Axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral vessels

*Contents of upper triangular space ?*

Circumflex scapular vessels
-Circumflex scapular artery is a branch of subscapular artery

*Contents of lower triangular space ?*

Radial nerve and profunda brachii vessels

*Nerve to which muscle consists of pseudoganglion, name the nerve ?*
Teres minor, Axillary nerve

*Any other nerve in upper limb which contains pseudoganglion ?*

Posterior interosseous nerve

*What is regimental badge area ?*

A branch of axillary nerve - upper lateral cutaneous nerve of the arm
innervates the skin over the inferior portion of the deltoid ( the ‘regimental
badge area’ )
In a patient with axillary nerve damage, sensation at the regimental badge
area may be impaired or absent.
