    Identify the correct origin for Rhomboid Minor.

    • C7 - T1 transverse processes

    • C2-T2 spinous processes

    • C7 - T1 spinous processes

    • T2 - T7 spinous processes

    Correct Answer
    A. C7 - T1 spinous processes
    Explanation
    The correct origin for Rhomboid Minor is the C7-T1 spinous processes. The rhomboid minor is a muscle located in the upper back, and it originates from the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae C7 and T1. These spinous processes are the bony projections that extend from the back of each vertebra. Therefore, the correct answer is C7-T1 spinous processes.

    Extension, Horizontal Abduction, Lateral Rotation and Scaption of the humerus are actions of which of the following muscles?

    • Deltoid - Anterior

    • Deltoid - Middle

    • Deltoid - Posterior

    • Coracobrachialis

    • Pectoralis Major - Clavicular Head

    Correct Answer
    A. Deltoid - Posterior
    Explanation
    Extension, horizontal abduction, lateral rotation, and scaption of the humerus are actions of the Deltoid - Posterior muscle. This muscle is located at the back of the shoulder and is responsible for these movements. It helps in extending the arm backward, moving the arm away from the body in a horizontal motion, rotating the arm outward, and raising the arm in a diagonal plane.

    The Coracobrachialis performs flexion of the humerus and _________?

    • Flexion of the elbow

    • Adduction of the humerus

    • Abduction of the humerus

    • Medial rotation of the humerus

    Correct Answer
    A. Adduction of the humerus
    Explanation
    The coracobrachialis muscle is responsible for flexion of the humerus, which is the movement of bringing the upper arm closer to the body. In addition to that, it also performs adduction of the humerus, which is the movement of bringing the upper arm towards the midline of the body. This muscle helps in stabilizing the shoulder joint and assisting in various arm movements.

    Identify the correct origin and insertion for the Serratus Anterior.

    • O : Lateral surface of external obliques (by finger like slips)

    • O: Lateral surface of the upper 8 ribs (by finger like slips)

    • O: Lateral surface of the lower 8 ribs (by finger like slips)

    • I: Vertebral border of scapula - anterior surface

    • I: Vertebral border of scapula - posterior surface

    • I: Axillary border of scapula - anterior surface

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. O: Lateral surface of the upper 8 ribs (by finger like slips)
    A. I: Vertebral border of scapula - anterior surface
    Explanation
    The correct origin for the Serratus Anterior is the lateral surface of the upper 8 ribs (by finger like slips). The correct insertion for the muscle is the vertebral border of the scapula - anterior surface.

    The sternocostal head of Pectoralis Major has the additional specific actions of humeral extension and assistance in anterior tilt of scapula.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The sternocostal head of the Pectoralis Major muscle is responsible for additional actions such as humeral extension and assisting in the anterior tilt of the scapula. This means that when the muscle contracts, it helps to extend the arm backward at the shoulder joint and also assists in tilting the shoulder blade forward. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Identify which of the following is NOT an origin for Latissimus Dorsi.

    • Thoracolumbar aponeurosis

    • Lower 6 thoracic spinous processes

    • Sacrum

    • Spine of the scapula

    • Iliac crest of ilium

    • Lower 3 to 4 ribs

    • Inferior angle of scapula

    Correct Answer
    A. Spine of the scapula
    Explanation
    The Latissimus Dorsi muscle originates from the thoracolumbar aponeurosis, lower 6 thoracic spinous processes, sacrum, iliac crest of ilium, lower 3 to 4 ribs, and the inferior angle of the scapula. However, it does not originate from the spine of the scapula.

    Where do Rhomboid Major and Minor insert?

    • Vertebral border of the scapula from the root of the spine to inferior angle

    • Superior angle of the scapula

    • Spine of the scapula

    • Root of the spine of the scapula

    • Rhomboid Major inserts at (A) and Rhomboid Minor inserts at (D)

    • Rhomboid Major inserts at (B) and Rhomboid Minor inserts at (C)

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhomboid Major inserts at (A) and Rhomboid Minor inserts at (D)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the Rhomboid Major inserts at the vertebral border of the scapula from the root of the spine to the inferior angle, while the Rhomboid Minor inserts at the root of the spine of the scapula.
