TRAPEZIUSmuscle's origin: base of triangle situated along vertebral column muscle's insertion: apex pointing toward tip of shoulder
ScapulaVertebral column
Occipital bone

TRAPEZIUSSuperior and inferior fibers work together to rotate the lateral aspect of the scapula upward, which needs to occur when raising the upper limb above the head.
IV. COMMITTEE LAB-2
TRAPEZIUSThe trapezius also braces the shoulders by pulling the scapulae posteriorly and superiorly, fixing them in position on the thoracic wall with tonic contraction; consequently, weakness of this muscle causes drooping of the shoulders.
IV. COMMITTEE LAB-2
TRAPEZIUSMotor innervation of trapezius accessory nerve [XI]descends from the neck onto the deep surface of the muscle. Proprioceptive fibers from trapezius pass in the branches of the cervical plexus and enter the spinal cord at spinal cord levels C3 &C4.

LATTISIUMUS DORSIIn combination with pectoralis major
powerful adductor of the humerus
plays a major role in downward rotation of the scapula in association with this movement.

LEVATOR SCAPULAE
Upper portion medial
border of scapula
superior to root of spine of scapula
LEVATOR SCAPULAEacts with the descending part of the trapezius to elevate the scapula, or fix it! resists forces that would depress it, as when carrying
a load.
RHOMBOID MINORLower portion of ligamentum nuchae Spinous processes of C7 and T1
Medial border of scapula at the spine of scapula
RHOMBOID MAJORSpinous processes of T3 to T5Medial border of scapula between spine & inferior angle

RHOMBOID MAJOR ET MINORRetract (adduct) and elevate scapula
Assist serratus anterior in holding the scapula against the thoracic wall and fixing the scapula during movements of the upper limb.
