11/23 Anatomy of the upper limb Flashcards
What is the Mnumonic for the Brachial plexis
you young mermaids LINE UP in front of Poseidon’s ULTRA TRIDENT. LSD SALT Made Many Mermaids Undergo Mass Misery!
What does the “U” in ULTRA stand for and waht does it innervate?
Upper Subscapular nerve, and it Inversates part of the sup-scapularus muscle
what does the “L” in ULTRA stand for and what does is innervate?
Lower Subscapular nerve that inervates the other part of the subscapularus and the Teres major
What is the “T” in Ultra trident stand for?
the Thoracodorsal nerve that is sometimes called the middle subscapular nerve (between the upper and lower after all) Innvervates the latismimus dorsi
What does the “R” in Utra Trident stand for?
The Radial nerve that Innervates the posterior arm and posterior forearm muscles
What does the “A” in Ultra Trident stand for?
The Axiillary nerve, and it Inervates the Deltoid and the teres minor
What does the L in LSD for the brachial plexus stand for?
the Lateral pectoral nerve, that Innervates the Peck Major
what does the “S” in LSD in the brachial plexus stand for?
suprasscapualar nerve and it innerates the Supraspanatous and infraspanatious muscles
What does the “D” in LSD in the brachial plexus stand for?
Dorsal scapular nerve and it innervates the levator scapula and two romboid muscles.
what does the LT in the “SALT” stand for in the brachial plexus?
Long thorasic nerve that Innervates the surratous anterior
What does the Made stand for in the brachial plexus?
MEDIAL pectoral nerve and it innervates the peck major and peck minor (pierces through the peck minor and goes to the major)
What does the Many stand for in the brachial plexus?
Medial cutaneous nerve of the arm and it gives cutaneous sensation to the medial part of the arm.
What does the Mermaids stand for in the brachial plexus?
the Medial cutaneous neerve of the forearm and it gives cutaneous innervation to the medial forearm.
what does the Undergo in the brachial plexus pnumonic stand for?
it stands for Ulnar nerve and it provides innervation to the flexor carpial ulnaris and half the flexor digitorum profundus, and most the intrinsic hand muslces.
What is the Mass in the brachial plexus pnumonic stand for?
the Median nerve that innervates most of the forearm flexors and the thenar muslces and the lateral two lumbricals
What does the Misery stand for in the bracial plexus pnumonic?
the musculocutaneous nerve innervates all the muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm
I just got an infection that affected the anterior division of the brachial plexus…what type of muscles are affected?
the flexors or anterior compartment muscles in the arm/forearm/hand
What happens to each of the trunks of the brachial plexus as they course down the arm?
they each biforcate to contribute one leg to the antierior and one to the posterior division…
How do we name the cords of the brachial plexus?
in relation to the axialary artery.
what are the 5 parts of the brachial plexus?
Roots (C5-T1)
Trunks (Sup., Middle, Inf.)
Divisions (Ant. and Post.)
Cords (Lat. Post. Medial)
Branches (M,M,U,R,A)

What is a synovial joint?
two bones come together wrapped in synovial membrane and bathed in synovial fluid
The synovial Ball and socket joint in my upper body just got dislocated…where do I need to get an ultrasound of? (most moveable joint)
my shoulder! or the Glenohumeral joint!
why is the glenohumeral joint the most flexibile in the body? what why is this bad?
only 1/3 of the humerual head articulates with the glenonoid cavity at a time. This means it is unstable however.
A tear to one of these structures would de-stabalize the most flexible joint in the body
the glenohumeral joint held by…
It is a like a bowl or a toilet plunger in the shoulder joint…
the glenoid labrum is a ring of fibrous cartilage that surounds the glenoid cavity that suctions to the humeral head and stabalizes it!
I ripped the attachment of the bicep tendon long head…what structure might I have damaged?
the Glenoid labrum!
I just destroyed the periosteum of my leg bones…what joint worries do I have?
the periostium extends around joints to make a joints capsule and so I would be worried about the joint stability without the capsule to create a negative pressure (seal) to keep the joint together.
why does the shoulder joint capsule allow for some dislocation inferiorly?
the axillary fold of the capsule gives a littel room below the joint to dislocate
