03: Upper limb I- Shoulder to elbow (HARC) Flashcards
PECTORAL GIRDLE includes which 2 BONES
CLAVICLE (collar bone)
SCAPULA
parts of SCAPULA
sticking out:
ACROMION (articulates with clavicle)
CORACOID PROCESS
SCAPULA FOSSA (directly lying against ribs)
GLENOID FOSSA (articulates with head of humerus)
2 ENDS of CLAVICLE
(attaches to STERNUM:
articulates with ACROMIAN of SCAPULA)
STERNAL END (attaches to STERNUM)
ACROMIAL END (articulates with ACROMIAN on SCAPULA)
parts at TOP of HUMERUS (superior)
HEAD
2 bumps:
GREATER TUBERCLE (laterally)
LESSER TUBERCLE (anteriorly)
groove between 2 bumps:
INTERTUBERCULAR SULCUS
SURGICAL NECK (in some bone, weakest and so most commonly fractured)
parts at bottom of HUMERUS (Inferior)
articulates with head of RADIUS:
articulates with head of ULNA:
coronoid process of ULNA slots in:
2 bumps:
CAPITULUM - articulates with head of RADIUS
TROCHLEA - articulates with head of ULNA
CORONOID FOSSA - coronoid process of ULNA slots in (flex elbow) (anteriorly)
2 bumps:
MEDIAL EPICONDYLE
LATERAL EPICONDYLE
(attach muscles & ligaments)
SPINE OF SCAPULA DIVIDES POSTERIOR SURFACE of SCAPULA in 2 parts:
- SUPRASPINOUS FOSSA
- INFRASPINOUS FOSSA
FOSSA on POSTERIOR view of HUMERAS that OLECRATION PROCESS of ULNA fits into when elbow EXTENDED
OLECRANON FOSSA
what type of joint is the GLENOHUMERAL JOINT (SHOULDER JOINT)
SYNOVIAL
relationship between JOINT MOVEMENT and STABILITY
MORE MOVEMENT = LESS STABLE
LESS MOVEMENT = MORE STABLE
EXTREME MOBILITY in SHOULDER so LOW STABILITY (most dislocated)
ABDUCTION OF ARM
FIRST 120 degrees by:
LAST 60 degrees by:
FIRST 120 degrees by:
HUMERUS ROTATING in the GLENOID FOSSA
LAST 60 degrees by:
ROTATION of SCAPULA
4 LIGAMENTS of GLENOHUMERAL (shoulder) JOINT CAPSULE
CORACOHUMERAL LIGAMENT
SUPERIOR GLENOHUMERAL LIGAMENT
MIDDLE GLENOHUMERAL LIGAMENT
INFERIOR GLENOHUMERAL LIGAMENT
sticking out of GLENOHUMERAL (shoulder) JOINT CAPSULE:
REDUNDANT CAPSULE
allows ‘give’ for abduction
unique part of GLENOHUMERAL (shoulder) JOINT CAPSULE
TENDON of LONG HEAD of BICEPS BRACHII
pierces joint capsule and goes inside joint
what is the ROTATOR CUFF
and what does it do
GROUP OF MUSCLES whose
TENDONS SURROUND the GLENOHUMERAL JOINT
As well as providing MOVEMENT to the upper limb
these muscles STRENGHTEN the JOINT
These muscles are; Subscapularis,
Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus and Teres minor
4 ROTATOR CUFF MUSCLES and what do they allow
posterior view:
SUPRASPINATUS
- INITIATION of ABDUCTION
(inserts onto greater tubercle)
INFRASPINATUS
- LATERAL ROTATION of humerus
(attach on greater tubercle)
TERES MINOR
-LATERAL ROTATION of humerus
(attach on greater tubercle)
anterior view:
SUBSCAPULARIS
- MEDIAL ROTATION of humerus
(attaches to lesser tubercle)
ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES
- Common in people who continuously use the arms above the horizontal – throwing, racquet sports, swimming, weightlifting
- Can lead to INFLAMMATION and a result tear in the cuff especially the supraspinatus tendon
- Can test for injuries by asking a patient to adduct their arm slowly – if the arm suddenly drops to their side at 90o it is likely they have injured their rotator
MUSCLES of the UPPER LIMB:
DELTOID
PECTORALIS MAJOR
TRAPEZIUS
deeper & anterior:
PECTORALIS MINOR
anterior:
SERRATUS ANTERIOR
what does the DELTOID allow in ARM MOVEMENT
ABDUCTION
what does the PECTORALIS MAJOR allow in ARM MOVEMENT (3)
ADDUCTION
also
MEDIALLY ROTATES HUMERUS
EXTENDS FLEXED ARM
name of GROOVE between DELTOID and PECTORALIS MAJOR
DELTOPECTORAL GROOVE
what MOVEMENTS does TRAPEZIUS allow
- ELEVATION of SCAPULA
- ROTATION of SCAPULA
allowing FULL ABDUCTION of UPPER ARM
what does PECTORALIS MINOR allow of SCAPULA
DEPRESSION of SCAPULA
