Description
[edit | edit source]
Levator scapulae connects the upper limb to the vertebral column and lies in the posterior triangle of the neck
Its superior aspect is covered by Sternocleidomastoid, and its inferior part by Trapezius
Origin[edit | edit source]
C1 to 4
Posterior tubercle of ransverse process of Cervical Vertebrae 1 to 4
Insertion[edit | edit source]
Vertebral margin of the scapula, between the superior angle and the root of the spine
Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]
C3 to 5
Cervical nerve (C3, C4) and dorsal scapular nerve (C5)
Blood Supply[edit | edit source]
Descending scapular artery
Action[edit | edit source]
Elevation and rotation of the scapula
Function[edit | edit source]
Elevation of the scapula, and rotation of it inferior angle medially, in movements such as elevation of the upper limb
If the scapula is fixed, it helps produce cervical side flexion
