In this article, I will explain the “scapular-dorsal nerve” in detail. I will explain the location, characteristics, pronunciation, English notation, related symptoms (shoulder dorsal nerve syndrome), etc. This nerve controls the movement of the shoulder and back muscles. Please use this article to deepen your understanding of the body.

What is the scapulardorsal nerve
Our bodies are governed by a complex nervous system, and each nerve is closely linked to specific parts and movements. Among them, what we are paying attention to this time is the “shoulder dorsal nerve.” This nerve controls the movement of shoulder and back muscles and plays a role in transmitting movement.
How to read scapulodorsal nerve
“scapulodorsal nerve” is read as “fighting is difficult” in Japanese. This nerve runs through the area around the shoulder blades in the back.
Characteristics of the scapulodorsal nerve
The shoulder dorsal nerve has a unique structure and function. These nerves run thin and long between muscles and play a role in controlling movement throughout the body.
It is very thin, only 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter, and it passes through the muscles as if it were sewn between the muscles. Therefore, it is easy to receive pressure from muscles, and when pressure is applied to surrounding muscles, pressure applied to nerves is one of the major causes of stiff shoulders.
Location/position of the scapulodorsal nerve
This nerve comes out of the spinal cord, extends from the back of the neck to the chest, and passes through the back of the shoulder blades. This special route allows nerves to control specific body movements. The dorsal scapulodorsal nerve is located in the back muscles, especially between layers of large and small muscles. Since it passes between muscles, you can see accurate positions and relationships with muscles by using a human body model diagram.
How to remember the shoulder dorsal nerve
Nerve names are easier to remember by linking them to body parts and their functions. Specifically, “shoulder blade” indicates shoulder blades, and “back” means back. It is good to remember the scapulardorsal nerve as a nerve that passes through the back side (back) of the shoulder blade.
English/Latin for scapulodorsal nerve
The scapulodorsal nerve is expressed as “suprascapular nerve” in English and “Nervus suprascapularis” in Latin. This shows the path the nerve takes to penetrate the shoulder blade. “Supra” means “above,” and “scapular” means “shoulder blade,” so together they mean “nerves running above shoulder blades.”
Trivia about the scapulodorsal nerve
Here's some trivia.
First, the shoulder dorsal nerve is a very sensitive nerve, and when compressed due to improper posture or exercise, it can cause neuralgia. This is called “shoulder dorsal nerve syndrome,” and symptoms such as not being able to gain strength or lift the shoulder appear. Therefore, moderate exercise and posture management are essential for maintaining shoulder health.
Above, I have explained the shoulder dorsal nerve in detail. Please use it to deepen your understanding of the body.
FAQ
Q: What is the scapulardorsal nerve?
A: The scapulodorsal nerve is a nerve that controls the movement of muscles in the shoulder and back. It plays an important role in transmitting shoulder movement and sense of position to us.
Q: Where is the scapulardorsal nerve located?
A: The dorsal scapulodorsal nerve is located between the back muscles, layers of large muscles and small muscles. This nerve comes from the spinal cord and extends to the upper part of the body, from the back of the neck to the chest, and passes through the back of the shoulder blades.
Q: What are the characteristics of the scapulodorsal nerve?
A: The shoulder dorsal nerve passes between muscles like a seam. Its diameter is very thin, about 1 to 2 millimeters, and when nerves are compressed against muscles, it can cause stiff shoulders.
Q: What is the English/Latin name for scapulodorsal nerve?
A: The scapulodorsal nerve is called “suprascapular nerve” in English and “Nervus suprascapularis” in Latin. “Supra” means “top,” and “scapular” means “shoulder blade.”
Q: Is there anything I should be careful about about the shoulder dorsal nerve?
A: The dorsal scapula nerve is a very sensitive nerve and can cause neuralgia if compressed by improper posture or exercise. This is called “shoulder dorsal nerve syndrome,” and symptoms such as not being able to gain strength or lift the shoulder appear. It can also cause stiff shoulders.
summary
This time, I explained the location and location of “sewn muscle,” how to memorize it, and the English and Latin notation.
How was it?
I would be happy if reading this article deepened my understanding of anatomy.
Learning is a long, never-ending journey, but I sincerely wish you all the best. Let's continue to study together and work hard for the national exam!
