31
Q

where do the rotator cuff muscles originate from

A

originate from the scapula

32
Q

what is the function of the 4 rotator cuff muscles

subscapularis = lesser tubercle
other 3 = greater tubercle

blend with the joint capsule deep to them

35
Q

acromion

42
Q

what are the most common directions for the dislocation of the humeral head

A

inferior and anterior

43
Q

stabilisation is another role of the long tendon of the bicep brachii and what is its specific role in stabilisation

A

maintains the humeral head in the glenoid fossa and prevents over rotation

44
Q

where does the short tendon of bicep brachii attach to on the scapula

A

coracoid process
