Pec minor depresses the glenoid fossa. Arises from 3/4/5 ribs Inserts at coracoids process of scapula.
Innervated by medial anterior thoracic nerve (C8, T1)
Teres major and subscapularis are supplied by Lower subscapular nerve. Subscapularis attaches to
crest of lesser tubercle.
Dorsal scapular n. C5 supplies rhomboids & levator scapula tt elevate & retract e scapula (same A)
Suprascapular nerve: Arises from trunk of C5/C6. Runs laterally beneath trapezius and omohyoid and
enters supraspinatus fossa through suprascapular notch. Passes beneath supraspinatus and curves
around lat border of spine of scapula to the infraspin. fossa. 2 branches in supraspin fossa i)
supraspinatus muscle, ii) shoulder joint. 2 branches in infraspin fossa i) infraspinatus muscle, ii)
shoulder.
