Do you know what muscles attach to your scapula?

Last night I had Anatomy and we learned all the muslces that attach to the Scapula. To help us remember them our teacher gave us this saying.

So here are the muslces.

Rhomboidus Major Muscle
Rhomboidus Minor Muscle
Levator Scapulae Muscle
Trapezius Muscle
Serratus Anterior Muscle
Pectoralis Minor Muscle
Subclavius Muscle


Yes all these muscles attach to your Scapula which is your shoulder blade. An that is just the Muscles for your Scapula. I also have to know all the orgin and insertions.

That leaves out a lot of muscle. Here's the whole list:

Pectoralis Minor
Coracobrachialis
Serratus Anterior
Triceps Brachii (long head)
Biceps Brachii (short head)
Biceps Brachii (long head)
Subscapularis
Rhomboid Major
Rhomboid Minor
Levator Scapulae
Trapezius
Deltoid
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Teres Major
Latissimus Dorsi (a few fibers)
Omohyoid

If you are studying to be a massage therapist, for instance, knowing these is very important. The scapula is one of those parts of the body that just about everyone has some sort of complaint about.
