Main characters[edit]
Drake Parker[edit]
Drake Parker (Drake Bell) is depicted as a laid-back, charming, immature, and womanizing teenager. Although he often appears unintelligent, his under-achievement seems to be caused by apathy and he has been known not to think before he acts (getting straight D's in school). Drake has great interest in music, playing the electric guitar in a band throughout the series and liking all forms, his favorite being rock. He can also play several percussion instruments, shown in "Megan's New Teacher" when he tried to play drums and guitar at the same time and in "Josh Runs Into Oprah" where he played the bongos. He usually takes advantage of Josh to get what he wants. He has a lot of success with girls and much of the comedy is his effortless ability to get dates. Drake is also very unhygienic (not washing hands, eating food off the floor). Drake feels embarrassed about his new stepbrother at first, but grows to accept Josh. Despite his arrogance and selfishness, Drake still redeems himself by doing the right thing. He becomes more mature as the series progresses. In 2010, Drake Bell made an appearance in the iCarly Season 3 episode "iBloop" which stars his Drake & Josh co-star Miranda Cosgrove. He reprised his role as Drake Parker to make an appearance in the episode, during which he seems to have stepped into the alternate fictional universe of iCarly where he recognizes Cosgrove's character as Megan Parker and follows by asking the whereabouts of Josh and the rest of his family.
Josh Nichols[edit]
Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) is Drake and Megan’s stepbrother. Unlike his stepbrother, Josh is smart, conscientious, sensible, and does well in school, although he is not often the socially stable one. In the pilot episode, he had a job for the school newspaper in which he wrote under the name Miss Nancy. In season two, he begins working for Helen at the fictional Premiere movie theatre. Unlike Drake, Josh often stresses over school a lot and uses his common sense, often repeating things for emphasis when anxious. Despite his good moral compass and punctuality, Josh is prone to bad luck, especially with girls. However, later, he begins to date Mindy Crenshaw, who is his academic rival. He has all sorts of hobbies, including cooking and performing magic tricks. Later in the series, Josh becomes more popular and gains better luck. He is obsessed with Oprah Winfrey and accidentally ran her over with his car in Josh Runs into Oprah.
Audrey Parker-Nichols[edit]
Audrey (Nancy Sullivan) is Drake and Megan's mother and Josh's stepmother. Her first name is never mentioned in the series, but is revealed in most scripts as "Audrey". She is usually telling the boys to try not to be so immature. She upsets her husband Walter because of her preference to Bruce Winchill, his rival weatherman. Because Walter is unable to discipline the boys, she usually has to punish the boys although these punishments are usually unfair because most are Megan's fault. As stepmother and stepson, Audrey and Josh have a very fond relationship, and he affectionately calls her "Mom" or "Mama". Her profession was never specified in the series, but it is generally assumed that she is a stay-at-home mom. She is a very generous and loving mother however a bit naive when it comes to her daughter Megan, especially when it is Megan's word against Drake and Josh.
Walter Nichols[edit]
Walter (Jonathan Goldstein) is Josh's father and Drake and Megan's stepfather. He is a meteorologist for a local TV news program in San Diego, but he is often wrong about the weather. Walter is often clumsy, out of date, and seemingly empty-headed. As a result, he lacks the respect of his stepchildren, who refer to him by his first name. When Megan calls him by his first name, he always asks "When did she start calling me Walter?" and Audrey replies "I don't know." He is also clueless and skeptical in regards to Megan's pranks which have caused the boys a lot of punishments, although starting in the episode "The Demonator", Walter slowly begins to notice Megan's evil ways. A running gag involves a rivalry between him and Bruce Winchill, an unseen weatherman from another station. He hates that Winchill is so popular, as he is always right with his predictions, and even forbids the use of Winchill's name in the family home.
Megan Parker[edit]
Megan Parker (Miranda Cosgrove) is the younger sister and stepsister of Drake and Josh. Megan often references a best friend named Janie and often refers to her older brothers as "boobs." Although at times Megan helps her brothers, she is usually antagonistic and hostile to them. It has also been shown that she is very smart and quick-witted; she can pull off very extreme, cruel and sometimes complicated (or even potentially dangerous) pranks on her brothers all while ensuring that her parents think of her as being a "sweet little girl" (also believing her to be always innocent). However, in the episode, "The Affair", Megan calls Drake a "boob" and Josh "gross" in front of her mother, who does not react. Even when an incident has nothing to do with them she still manages to take their distrust from others as an advantage. This has even gone so far as to suggest that she might even possess genius-level intelligence, for example building a hidden computerized monitor in her room. Most of the time throughout the series, Megan is very conceited, rude, sassy, and mean to her brothers. However, despite her near-constant harassing them, Megan actually loves her brothers deep down and has shown them genuine love and gratefulness when they uncovered that her then-boyfriend had been cheating on her.
Recurring characters[edit]
Craig Ramirez and Eric Blonowitz[edit]
Craig (Alec Medlock) and Eric (Scott Halberstadt) are two stereotypical "nerdy" honor students that are always being exploited by Drake, mostly due to his hare-brained schemes. Drake often mistakes Eric for Craig. Craig corrected him one time, and Drake sarcastically said "It matters". Eric first appeared in the pilot episode as an extra and along with his best friend, Craig, a few times in Season 2 and 3, but they appear more frequently in Season 4, and also appear in the television film Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp. They usually are good friends and good in nature, but not free of a selfish side. Drake is so unkind to them that anytime they try to talk with them he rudely shuts the door in their face and tells them that there are lots of reasons why they do not have girlfriends. Eric left for Puerto Rico in the final episode, "Dance Contest." Craig and Eric appear with another Drake & Josh character, Gavin, in the 2010 iCarly episode "iStart a Fan War", implying that the two series take place within the same universe. It is revealed in the episode Who's Got Game that Craig and Eric do not consider themselves to be friends with Drake because of the bad things he has done to them.
Mindy Crenshaw[edit]
Mindy (Allison Scagliotti) is an intelligent but boastful girl at school who is always trying to be better than Drake and Josh, especially Josh, who is her rival. She also shows an extreme hatred for Drake, too. For example in "Honor Council", she took apart Mrs. Hayfer's car and rebuilt it in the middle of her classroom to frame Drake for the prank and have him suspended. For this misdeed, Mindy was sent to a mental hospital, causing a temporary departure from the series, but she eventually reappeared in "Mindy's Back" to compete in the school science fair. Later on, she became Josh's on-again off-again girlfriend, and the two enjoy studying together. One of Mindy's well-known character traits is her extraordinary intelligence and scientific talents. She defeats Josh yearly in the science fair with the exception of one year after they started to date and she let him win, which she enjoys rubbing in his face at times. She also cloned her pet Cockapoo, and has a love of sharks.
Helen Dubois[edit]
Helen Ophelia Dubois[1] (Yvette Nicole Brown) is the manager of the Premiere Theater, connected to the Premiere Galleria mall. She is Josh's boss at the theater, and is known for her intimidating demeanor, loud voice, and demanding attitude towards employees. She adores Drake, but dislikes Josh despite the hard work he puts in at the theater. She starred in a hit television sitcom as a child, called Happy Times[1] (a parody of the classic 1970s TV sitcoms Happy Days and Good Times). She married Buzz Baxter in "Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp", but divorced him some time before Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh after 5 weeks. Yvette Nicole Brown plays Helen throughout the series, but Frances Callier filled in for her in the season two episode "Little Diva".
Helen appears in a 2011 episode of Victorious in which she becomes the principal of Hollywood Arts High School. She later appears in a 2015 episode of Game Shakers, in which she hosts her own talk show titled The Helen Show.
"Crazy" Steve[edit]
Not to be confused with Crazzy Steve.
Steve (Jerry Trainor) is an employee at the Premiere movie theater who is noted for his emotional and mental instability, lashing out at co-workers, strangers, and passersby over little things. Incredibly sensitive, Steve takes offense at the slightest of subjects or even the most thoroughly minor hints at insults, hollering at others for interrupting him or denying his questions, desires, or offers. Steve's utter lack of sanity has earned him a dangerously unpredictable reputation amongst colleagues, to the extent where he finds immense frustration in following along with episodes of Dora the Explorer, screaming at the animated characters on the screen. In seasons 2 and 3, he had a lot of hair but in season 4 his head was shaved. He appears in the program's 2008 Christmas special, most notably towards its conclusion, where he shreds hunks of cheese in a wood chipper in order to grant his friends' wish for a white Christmas. He later appeared in an episode of the series Sam and Cat where he is revealed to have been placed at a mental institution for the sick with a restrictive mask over his face.
Gavin Mitchell[edit]
Gavin (Jake Farrow) works with Josh at the Premiere and he has a mullet-like haircut similar in fashion to Rod Stewart (in "Who's Got Game" he got a perm). A running gag throughout the series involved Helen asking him to tell Josh to clean something unusual in the theater. He normally declines doing it himself when Josh asks if he would do it. He then cleans up the mess himself - telling Josh "I got it". He also has a crush on Audrey. He can apparently get away with anything at work, like taking a nap on the roof. He first appeared in "Driver's License" and made an appearance in Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh. Gavin appears in iCarly in Season 4 episode "iStart a Fan War" with Craig and Eric.
Mrs. Hayfer[edit]
Mrs. Hayfer (Julia Duffy) is the boys' English teacher who adores Josh due to his hard-working personality, but hates Drake because of his consistently poor performance in school; likewise, as noted by his doodles of her in his notebook, as seen in "Honor Council", Drake hates her in return. In the episode "Mean Teacher", Mrs. Hayfer is shown to hate Drake for no apparent reason as it is shown that when he answered a question correctly, she dubbed it incorrect and appointed the same question correct to another student right next to him as well as grading a flawless report he did with a "D-" again for no logical reason.[2] In fact, her catchphrase is "I hate you, Drake", with Drake responding, "I know". She also always says "To the nurse!", which is her own way of telling people to leave her classroom. In "Little Sibling", Mrs. Hayfer says it to Josh when she wanted to have a private talk with Drake. Mrs. Hayfer has a daughter named Kelly, who Drake briefly dates, much to her discontent. In "Honor Council", she comes into the classroom to find her car parked where the boys' seats are originally and accuses Drake of putting the car there, but her star student, Mindy, is the real culprit. Drake apparently hates Mrs. Hayfer so much that he wishes she would die, as seen in the episode, "Megan's First Kiss", in which Josh says "You're not gonna believe this!" and Drake asks in an anxious and excited tone, "Mrs. Hayfer died?!"
Mrs. Hayfer has a Rottweiler named Tiberius, who appears in the season 4 episode "Vicious Tiberius" and is violent towards Drake and Josh, who had agreed to house sit for her.
She has a brief appearance in Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh, where Drake accidentally hits a fire hydrant while driving, resulting in water getting sprayed all over her. She then points out and yells her famous line: "I Hate You, Drake Parker!"
In the season 2 finale "Honor Council", Josh mentions her full name as being Alice Hayfer. However, in "Vicious Tiberious", a video shows her full name as being Linda Hayfer.
Dr. Jeff Glazer[edit]
Dr. Glazer (Roark Critchlow) is a doctor who lives across the street from the boys. He is always called on whenever a serious emergency happens at their house. Although he always seems kind while performing medical procedures for the boys, he always leaves them with a ridiculously high bill for his services (he once charged $100 for diagnosing a sheep as pregnant after it had already given birth and an extra $50 not to tell Audrey and Walter, and charged $300 for diagnosing Drake's facial rash). He first appeared in "The Bet" and he last appeared in "Sheep Thrills".
Bruce Winchill[edit]
Although Bruce Winchill is never seen in Drake & Josh, he is mentioned throughout the series. Megan and Audrey have a crush on him because he has good hair. He is a rival weatherman of Walter, and he always gets the weather right.
Minor characters[edit]
Grammy Nichols[edit]
Grammy (Randee Heller) is Josh's grandmother and Walter's mother. She loves Josh and Megan, but she hates Drake. In her only appearance in "Grammy", she expresses anger towards Drake when he decides to go to a concert even though Audrey and Walter said that he could not. At the end of the episode, Grammy shows affection toward Drake when he attempts to tell his parents the truth. She is later mentioned frequently. She sent gifts to Josh many times. She is last mentioned in "Merry Christmas, Drake and Josh".
Papa Nichols[edit]
Papa Nichols (Vernon Roberts) is Josh's great-grandfather and Walter's grandfather. In his only appearance in "The Demonator", he had surgery and said he fought in World War II. Walter tells Drake and Josh that they are not allowed to ride The Demonator roller coaster and he and Audrey tell the boys to stay home and watch Papa Nichols. Meanwhile, Drake lets Craig and Eric come over and watch him while the boys and Megan go to Mystic Mountain to ride the Demonator, but when he wakes up disoriented, he thinks he is back in the war and attacks them, thinking they are Germans (whom he called "German Nerds"). At the end of The Demonator, Walter tries to wake him up and he punches him when he called him a "German." He is later mentioned once by Josh in "The Wedding".
Aunt Catherine[edit]
Catherine is Drake and Josh's great-aunt. She is mentioned in the episode "The Wedding", where it is revealed that she is getting married and she collects hair from people she does not know. Although she is never seen, she is described as being mean, and is apparently hated by her family, including Josh. She also owns a beach-house, which the family wants to receive. According to Drake she is "old and gross".
Jackie[edit]
Jackie (Robin Sydney) is obsessed with Drake and appeared in a total of four episodes. She would come into the scene randomly (usually at the end, specifically when something positive happens to Drake), and shout hysterically, "I love you! Bye!" In response, Drake would ask, "Who are you?"
Wendy[edit]
Wendy (Alyson Stoner) is a girl that had an obsessive crush on Drake in the episode "Number 1 Fan", her sole appearance. She is approximately the same age as Megan, and is in a camp club with Megan and some other children.
Sammy[edit]
Sammy (Jordan Wright) is a young child that Drake needed to take care of as part of a Big Sibling program because he got in trouble for lying to Mrs. Hayfer (Julia Duffy) about being in class on time. While Drake proceeds to take care of Sammy, he (Sammy) wanted Josh to be his big sibling. Sammy considers Josh to be the coolest guy ever, something that most characters think about Drake.
Trevor[edit]
Trevor (Taran Killam) is Drake's absent-minded friend and Scottie's older brother. Even though he only appeared in "Dune Buggy", he is mentioned several times in the series, and his voice is heard over the phone in "Josh Runs into Oprah". Trevor gets a brain scan every month, due to his unintelligence as found out in "Dune Buggy". In "The Wedding", the boys use his old car (a Chevrolet El Camino) to get to their great aunt Catherine's wedding, but it breaks down and later catches fire.
Clayton[edit]
Clayton (Josh Sussman) is one of the nerdy children at school. He has speech problems since he mumbles and no one can understand what he is saying. Even Craig and Eric call him a "nerd," considering that they are nerds themselves. He appears only in "Josh is Done" and "Eric Punches Drake". In "Eric Punches Drake," he begins to dislike Drake when Drake spits blue mouthwash into his bottled water, and he even goes as far as to find out where Drake and Josh live just so he could repeat "Why?" However, fans have speculated that since "Eric Punches Drake" took place after "Josh is Done" then Drake spitting mouthwash into his bottle would be considered revenge for the chemistry incident that Clayton caused on Drake.
Janie[edit]
Megan's best friend (Jasmine McNeal). She is mentioned in several episodes of Season 4 and appears in "Megan's Revenge" and "Megan's First Kiss".
Corey[edit]
Corey (Christian Vandal) is Megan's first boyfriend. He appears only in the episode "Megan's First Kiss", in which Drake and Josh expose his cheating on her with another girl named Monica (Kelly Heyer).
Vince[edit]
Vince (D. Elliot Woods) is a helicopter pilot who appears in "Helicopter". He gives Drake a lesson about skydiving and he takes him and Josh on a ride in his helicopter. However, he becomes unconscious after hitting his head on a fire extinguisher. When the boys try to wake him up, Josh accidentally sprays him out of the helicopter with the fire extinguisher. When Drake and Josh get home, Vince comes in angrily and gives Walter a $400,000 bill for the damaged helicopter. Drake and Josh, knowing the consequences, ground themselves for two weeks.
Karate instructor and coffee shop owner[edit]
Played by Toshi Toda. He first appears in the pilot as Josh's karate instructor. He is later seen in "First Crush" saying that his karate place burnt down. Since then he has become the owner of a coffee shop where he held auditions for a band. He banned Drake from entering the shop because Drake had a snake in his backpack which was put there by Megan. However Cathy, Josh's crush at the time, spoke to him about giving them another chance.
Drew and Jerry[edit]
Drew (James Immekus) and Jerry (Stephen Markarian) are two boys who look and act like Drake and Josh. They appeared only in the episode "Drew & Jerry". Drew plays the saxophone and flirts with girls while Jerry likes pool, video games and magic tricks. Josh began hanging out with Drew, making Drake jealous, which led to the friendship between him and Jerry. Aside from being a good comedian, Jerry also plays a lot of pool at the Premiere. Josh and Drew then attend a movie premiere that Drake and Josh were going to see originally, so Drake angrily gets back at Josh by spending the day with Jerry fishing. However, during an argument, Drake has Jerry do a magic trick which involved cutting a girl's ponytail and then putting it back clear in position. Josh then tells Drew to entertain everyone in the Premiere by playing the saxophone. A talent agent sees them and decides to give them their own TV show, a comedy about two brothers. Drake and Josh then watch the show themselves.
Henry Doheny[edit]
Henry Doheny (Steve Tom) is a formerly famous magician who moves in with the family in the episode "The Great Doheny". Josh, Walter and Megan idolize him while Drake hates him. Doheny does magic wherever he goes, such as interfering with random people and doing magic tricks for them and even puts a sandwich inside his stomach without eating it. When Drake could no longer stand Doheny being in the house, he tried to harm him with a baseball bat but Josh decided to help him become famous again instead. Megan came up with a trick called "The Box of Impalement", which backfired due to putting Doheny in a large box and sticking swords into his body, killing him. However at the funeral Henry came back to life and regained his career and went off to Las Vegas to perform there for four years.
Drake's girlfriends[edit]
Liza[edit]
Liza, nicknamed Hot Liza by Drake, was Drake’s girlfriend in the Dr. Phyllis show episode.
Tori[edit]
Tori was Drake’s girlfriend in the episode “Playing the Field.” Drake wants to get back with her so he dates Hot Liza to get her back.
Susan[edit]
Susan (Ashley Drane) was Drake's girlfriend in the episode "Believe Me, Brother". She loved Drake but then ended up cheating on him by flirting with Josh. Whenever Drake would come near Susan with Josh, Susan would pretend not to love Josh. She is a very manipulative and selfish character. Susan would play on the brothers' relationship to get what she wanted, however she did not know how strong the bond was between the two brothers. As revenge, Drake and Josh planted some purple paint in her locker and it splattered all over her when she opened the door. She is later exposed when a prank created by Megan on their video project for class is tampered to reveal embarrassing images of the boys, including a shot of Susan kissing Josh, much to Drake's dismay.
Kelly Hayfer[edit]
Kelly Hayfer (Chelsea Brummet) is Mrs. Hayfer's daughter. She appears only in the episode "Mean Teacher", in which she dates Drake. She has a laughing problem throughout the episode, much to Drake's annoyance. Although she loves him, she ends the relationship – much to Drake's excitement – because she does not believe it is working out.
Carly[edit]
Carly (Brittany Curran) is Drake's girlfriend. She first appears in "Who's Got Game" where Josh challenges Drake on who can get the most dates. Drake meets her at the CD shop where she works and he falls in love with her at first sight. Carly grew fond of him too after meeting him. She dumps Drake when she found out about the bet, thinking Drake is just using her. He then proves to her that he can be honest and they continue dating. She makes her final appearance in "The Storm" where she befriends Drake's ex-girlfriends Lucy and Christine, thanks to Megan. Drake flirts with other girls in subsequent episodes such as "Tree House".
Lucy[edit]
Lucy (Gabrielle Christian) is another one of Drake's ex-girlfriends. She is introduced in "Girl Power," where she admitted to be tougher than Drake. Although Drake disagreed, Lucy decided that the two of them should wrestle each other. Drake is hesitant about wrestling her. Lucy is considered to be a tomboy. She returned in "The Storm", where she is friends with Carly and Christine (Drake's girlfriend and ex-girlfriend, respectively).
Christine[edit]
Christine (Sarah Christine Smith) is another one of Drake's ex-girlfriends. She is introduced in "The Storm", where she is friends with Carly and Lucy (Drake's girlfriend and ex-girlfriend, respectively).
Drake's band[edit]
Drake has a band in which he is the frontman.
Band members[edit]
Scottie, Rina, and Paul[edit]
Scottie (Johnny Lewis) is the drummer of Drake's band and is Trevor's younger brother. He is considered to be unintelligent, according to Drake and the other band members. Rina (Molly Orr) is the bassist of Drake's band, while Paul (Jeremy Ray Valdez) is the rhythm guitarist. They only appeared in four episodes in Season 1. Drake and the three band members are detained at a Rock Shock concert because Scottie photocopied their tickets in the episode "Grammy", the final appearance of the three.
Gary[edit]
Gary (Dan Mott) is the goofy and self-absorbed drummer of Drake's band. He has a tattoo of a foot on his chest and likes to wear girls shirts (e.g. his sister's blouse and Megan's panda shirt). He only appeared in "The Storm".
Julio[edit]
Julio (Shiloh Fernandez) is the bassist of Drake's band in season four. He only appeared in "The Storm" but he is mentioned in "Josh Runs Into Oprah".
Neil Kramer[edit]
Neil Kramer (Ridge Canipe) is a 5th grader who appears in "Megan's New Teacher" who played the drums for Drake when his original drummer left. Drake noticed his talent for drums when he found him playing a song on books with pencils in the classroom. After that he took him home to hear him play and Drake wanted to have him play in the band. However, when Josh handed out pop quizzes that everyone failed because they did not do homework, Neil's mom banned him from playing. Drake and Megan hatched a plan to get Josh fired; it worked, leading to Neil playing for Drake's band at the Premiere's third anniversary. Neil was never seen again after that.

Insertion
Floor of intertubercular groove of the humerus
Artery
Thoracodorsal branch of the subscapular artery
Nerve
Thoracodorsal nerve (C6, C7, C8)
Actions
Adducts, extends and internally rotates the arm when the insertion is moved towards the origin. When observing the muscle action of the origin towards the insertion, the lats are a very powerful rotator of the trunk.
Antagonist
Deltoid and trapezius muscle

[edit on Wikidata]
The latissimus dorsi (/ˌləˈtɪsɪməs ˈdɔːrsaɪ/) a large, flat muscle on the back that stretches to the sides, behind the arm, and is partly covered by the trapezius on the back near the midline. The word latissimus dorsi (plural: latissimi dorsi) comes from Latin and means "broadest [muscle] of the back", from "latissimus" (Latin: broadest)' and "dorsum" (Latin: back). The pair of muscles are commonly known as "lats", especially among bodybuilders. The latissimus dorsi is the largest muscle in the upper body.
The latissimus dorsi is responsible for extension, adduction, transverse extension also known as horizontal abduction, flexion from an extended position, and (medial) internal rotation of the shoulder joint. It also has a synergistic role in extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine.
Due to bypassing the scapulothoracic joints and attaching directly to the spine, the actions the latissimi dorsi have on moving the arms can also influence the movement of the scapulae, such as their downward rotation during a pull up.

Structure[edit]
Variations[edit]
Axillary arches shown from two different angles.
The number of dorsal vertebrae to which it is attached varies from four to eight; the number of costal attachments varies; muscle fibers may or may not reach the crest of the ilium.
A muscular slip, the axillary arch, varying from 7 to 10 cm in length, and from 5 to 15 mm in breadth, occasionally springs from the upper edge of the latissimus dorsi about the middle of the posterior fold of the axilla, and crosses the axilla in front of the axillary vessels and nerves, to join the under surface of the tendon of the pectoralis major, the coracobrachialis, or the fascia over the biceps brachii. This axillary arch crosses the axillary artery, just above the spot usually selected for the application of a ligature, and may mislead a surgeon. It is present in about 7% of the population and may be easily recognized by the transverse direction of its fibers. Guy et al. extensively described this muscular variant using MRI data and positively correlated its presence with symptoms of neurological impingement.[1]
A fibrous slip usually passes from the upper border of the tendon of the Latissimus dorsi, near its insertion, to the long head of the triceps brachii. This is occasionally muscular, and is the representative of the dorsoepitrochlearis brachii of apes.[2][3] This muscular form is found in ~5% of humans and is sometimes termed the latissimocondyloideus.[4]
The latissimus dorsi crosses the inferior angle of the scapula. A study found that, of 100 cadavers dissected:[5]
43% had "a substantial amount" of muscular fibers in the latissimus dorsi originating from the scapula.
36% had few or no muscular fibers, but a "soft fibrous link" between the scapula and the latissimus dorsi
21% had little or no connecting tissue between the two structures.
Triangles[edit]
The lateral margin of the latissimus dorsi is separated below from the obliquus externus abdominis by a small triangular interval, the lumbar triangle of Petit, the base of which is formed by the iliac crest, and its floor by the obliquus internus abdominis.
Another triangle is situated behind the scapula. It is bounded above by the trapezius, below by the latissimus dorsi, and laterally by the vertebral border of the scapula; the floor is partly formed by the rhomboideus major. If the scapula is drawn forward by folding the arms across the chest, and the trunk bent forward, parts of the sixth and seventh ribs and the interspace between them become subcutaneous and available for auscultation. The space is therefore known as the triangle of auscultation.
The latissimus dorsi can be remembered best for insertion as "A Miss Between Two Majors". As the latissimus dorsi inserts into the floor of the intertubercular groove of the humerus it is surrounded by two major muscles. The teres major inserts medially on the medial lip of the intertubercular groove and the pectoralis major inserts laterally onto the lateral lip.
Nerve supply[edit]
The latissimus dorsi is innervated by the sixth, seventh, and eighth cervical nerves through the thoracodorsal (long scapular) nerve. Electromyography suggests that it consists of six groups of muscle fibres that can be independently coordinated by the central nervous system.[6]
Function[edit]
The latissimus dorsi is responsible for extension, adduction, transverse extension also known as horizontal abduction, flexion from an extended position, and (medial) internal rotation of the shoulder joint.[citation needed] It also has a synergistic role in extension (posterior fibers) and lateral flexion (anterior fibers) of the lumbar spine, and assists as a muscle of both forced expiration (anterior fibers) and an accessory muscle of inspiration (posterior fibers).[7]
Most latissimus dorsi exercises concurrently recruit the teres major, posterior fibres of the deltoid, long head of the triceps brachii, among numerous other stabilizing muscles. Compound exercises for the 'lats' typically involve elbow flexion and tend to recruit the biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis for this function. Depending on the line of pull, the trapezius muscles can be recruited as well; horizontal pulling motions such as rows recruit both latissimus dorsi and trapezius heavily.
Training[edit]
The power/size/strength of this muscle can be trained with a variety of different exercises. Some of these include:
Vertical pulling movements such as pull-downs and pull-ups (including chin-ups).
Horizontal pulling movements such as bent-over row, T-bar row and other rowing exercises.
Shoulder extension movements with straight arms such as straight-arm lat pulldowns and Pull-overs.
Deadlift.
Clinical significance[edit]
Tight latissimus dorsi has been shown to be one cause of chronic shoulder pain and chronic back pain.[8] Because the latissimus dorsi connects the spine to the humerus, tightness in this muscle can manifest as either sub-optimal glenohumeral joint (shoulder) function which leads to chronic pain or tendinitis in the tendinous fasciae connecting the latissimus dorsi to the thoracic and lumbar spine.[9]
The latissimus dorsi is a potential source of muscle for breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy (e.g. Mannu flap) [10] or to correct pectoral hypoplastic defects such as Poland's syndrome.[11][12] An absent or hypoplastic latissimus dorsi can be one of the associated symptoms of Poland's syndrome.[13][14]
Cardiac support[edit]
For heart patients with low cardiac output and who are not candidates for cardiac transplantation, a procedure called cardiomyoplasty may support the failing heart. This procedure involves wrapping the latissimus dorsi muscles around the heart and electrostimulating them in synchrony with ventricular systole.
Injury[edit]
Injuries to the latissimus dorsi are rare. They occur disproportionately in baseball pitchers. Diagnosis can be achieved by visualization of the muscle and movement testing. MRI of the shoulder girdle will confirm the diagnosis. Muscle belly injuries are treated with rehabilitation while tendon avulsion injuries can be treated surgically, or with rehab. Regardless of treatment, patients tend to return to play without any functional losses.[15]

"If This Isn't Love" is a song recorded by American recording artist Jennifer Hudson. It was written and composed by Planet VI, brothers Theron and Timothy Thomas, along with Brian Kennedy for her eponymous debut album, released in 2008. Production on the song was handled by the latter and Harvey Mason, Jr.. Musically, it is a midtempo contemporary R&B ballad with pop elements, built along on a piano and electric guitar sounds.
The song was released as the second single from the album following "Spotlight" in 2009. Upon release, "If This Isn't Love" was met with generally positive reviews from contemporary critics who praised the song's structure and its modern interpretation for an adult audience. On the charts, the track failed to make much impact, though it reached number five of the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and the top forty of the UK Singles Chart. Hudson promoted the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 26, 2009 and on American Idol on Wednesday’s results show on April 15, 2009.[1][2]

Critical reception[edit]
Andy Kellman from Allmusic stated that "Hudson's voice is smoothed out through the fluttery "If This Isn't Love" (not to mention spiked with grating male grunts of "Hey!"), nearly unrecognizable until the point where she belts."[3] Slant Magazine said that " 'If This Isn't Love' succeeds at sounding completely modern without eschewing the standard adult-contemporary song structure that's tailor-made for pipes like Hudson's."[4]
David Balls from Digital Spy felt that "If This Isn't Love" was a "delicate love song that finds Hudson in her natural comfort zone. 'God sent me an angel from above, that's going to love me for life,' she sings soulfully, with recent events making the lyrics particularly resonant. Combining modish beats with a cool, breezy chorus, 'If This Isn't Love' may not be in the same league as recent power ballads from Beyoncé and Leona, but it has an understated charm that's hard to quibble with."[5] Commenting on its remix, produced by Fraser T. Smith, he added: "The single comes with no fewer than six different remixes, but the straightforwardly-titled Fraser T Smith Remix wins 'B-side Of The Week' as it adds a bit of extra zest to the song without removing any of its understated charm. Smith has carefully tinkered with the track's foundations, injecting some R&B adrenaline and a bit more of a beat. Thankfully, he's also chopped out the male screeching from the start of the original, which seemed bizarrely inappropriate in the first place."[6]
Chart performance[edit]
"If This Isn't Love" became Hudson's second consecutive number-one hit on the Urban Adult Radio Charts.[7]
"If This Isn't Love" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 195 on February 22, 2009 and reached a peak of number 37 on downloads alone. It marked Hudson's second consecutive top 40 hit on the chart. Due to a high peak of number three on the UK Airplay Chart, the song also charted at number twenty on Hit40UK. The song spent eleven weeks on the UK Singles Chart.[8]
In the United States, the song debuted and peaked at number 84 on the Billboard's Hot 100. Several weeks later, it reached a new peak at number 63, boosted by Hudson's performance on the April 15, 2009 results show of American Idol. On the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, the song became Hudson's second consecutive top five hit, peaking at number five. Hudson made history with "If This Isn't Love" when it earned its second consecutive week at number one on the Urban Adult Radio Charts. Thus, Hudson joined a group of only five other women in urban adult history to reach this accomplishment.[7]
Music video[edit]
Hudson shot a music video for the track in Los Angeles, California on January 26, 2009 with director Diane Martel.[9] The video premiered February 11, 2009 on AOL, Entertainment Tonight, and 106 & Park.[10]

"Leavin' on Your Mind" is a famous Country/Pop song written by Wayne Walker and Webb Pierce was popularized by Joyce Smith in 1962.
Patsy Cline herself puts a wrinkle into this. The story goes that she was in Owen Bradley’s office one day, heard the record Smith made, and immediately wanted the song for herself. According to Smith, “He said, ‘no you can’t have it. I’m going to see what that Canadian gal does with it.’” Cline apparently said pretty please with sugar on top, but Bradley and the label wouldn’t back down. Smith’s single, released in 1962, didn’t crack the top-40, but sold more than 100,000 copies, a major hit for a first record and enough that the Canadian gal recouped the considerable studio expenses and actually made a little money in royalties. Patsy Cline wound up recording the song and releasing it in 1963. It didn’t make the hit parade, either. It was her last single before she died in a plane crash in March of that year. Unlike her earlier hits "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces", "Leavin' On Your Mind" was an unfortunate failure on the pop chart, where it stalled at #83. However, the song today remains a classic in Country music. Initially, Cline was going to release the single on her next upcoming, fourth album called Faded Love, along with two other singles that year.
However, the album was never released due to the tragic event that ended her life, which was a plane crash that March. The album was to be released at the end of March. Instead, the album was released on a double compilation album called The Patsy Cline Story. This album featured all of Cline's big hits, starting for her first in 1957 to 1963. The album was a huge hit and is still being sold today.

Peak

U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles 8
U.S. Billboard Hot 100 83
(If You've Got) "Leavin' On Your Mind", written by Wayne Walker and Webb Pierce was first recorded by Joyce Smith in September 1961 and was released in March 1962. She had just signed with Decca Records. The Smith version peaked at #126 in the Music Vendor charts w/e 4/9/62. Joyce found herself in Nashville's famed Columbia Studios working with the Legendary Owen Bradley, The Jordanaires, and session players the likes of Pete Drake, Buddy Harmon, Harold Bradley, Billy Grammer and Bobby Moore. The week she recorded Leavin' On Your Mind in Nashville at the old Columbia Studios, Patsy Cline came into Owen Bradley's office and he played Joyce's record for her, she immediately loved the tune and wanted to record it but Owen said no, we'll wait and see what this Canadian girl does with it. Joyce Smith was one of only a handful to have her early records sell in excess of 100,000 copies in the U.S. which Decca said was a major hit for a first record. Joyce recorded several singles for Decca in the 60's. Her many years of superb performances at rodeos, on TV, and live concerts around the world, and her many industry awards and accolades truly set her apart as a Country Music Legend and a first class lady. Joyce was inducted into the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame in the U.S in 2007 and in 2010 was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. Joyce makes her home in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and still performs regularly with the Canadian Country Music Legends Show.
Use in popular culture[edit]
The song was featured on the ABC drama series Lost in episode three of the first season entitled "Tabula Rasa".[1]
Cover versions[edit]
LeAnn Rimes recorded a cover of the song for her LeAnn Rimes (album) in 1999. Rissi Palmer recorded a cover of the song for her self-titled debut album in 2007. It was also covered by Lorrie Morgan for her 2009 album, A Moment in Time, from which it was released as a single. It was also recorded by The Czars and appears on their 2006 compilation album Sorry I Made You Cry. Terri Clark also covered it for her 2012 album Classic.
