Q

What is the conceptual joint?

A

Is a functional not true joint between the medial scapula and thorax. Braces the scapula onto the thorax for stability. Has lots of fluid of lubrication

Q

What is Trapezius O and I?

A

O: broad from skull to T12 spinous processes
I: anatomical horseshoe (clavicle, acromion, spine)
> superior: clavicle
> middle: acromion
> inferior: spine of scapula

Q

Action of trapezius?

A

All fibres together: retract
Superior: Elevates
Middle: Retracts
Inferior: Depresses

Superior and Inferior Fibres: STRONG superior rotation

Q

Latissimus Dorsi?

A

O: T7 - S5, iliac crest, lower ribs
I: FLOOR of intertubercular groove of anterior humerus

> adducts and internally rotates arm. Depress scapula

Q

Significance of lat dorsi origin including iliac crest?

A
  • is of lower limb. This doesn’t move so is a stable base to anchor the upper limb to (mechanical advantage)

Q

Pectoralis Major?

A

O: Sternocostal head and clavicular head
I: Lateral Lip of intertubercular groove

> internally rotates arm and adducts (and protract)

16
Q

When do you use pectoralis major?

A

Climbing trees, using crutches.

17
Q

Pectoralis Minor?

A

O: Ribs 3,4,5
I: Coracoid

> Depresses scapula and is a weak stabiliser i.e. during heavy breathing it locks the scapula and pulls the ribs up
Medial Pectoral Nerve

18
Q

Subclavius

A

O: Costal cartilage of first rib
I: Subclavian groove of clavicle

> Braces clavicle and is a weak depressor
C5 nerve

19
Q

Where does the NM bundle of the upper limb run? Why is this significant?

A

Below pectoralis minor - if you sleep woth your arm abducted then you can stretch the BP under the coracoid with pec minor in front resulting in a numb arm

20
Q

Where does the Medial Pectoral Nerve run?

A

Through pectoralis minor to major

21
Q

What is serratus anterior known as?

A

Boxers muscle

22
Q

Serratus Anterior?

A

O: Anterior Lateral Thorax
I: Medial border of scapula

> protracts scapula
LOWER fibres help superiorly rotate the scapula
Long Thoracic Nerve

23
Q

Where does serratus anterior insert?

A

Below the rhomboids at the medial scapula

24
Q

What results after damage to the Long Thoracic Nerve?

A

Winged scapula.

25
Q

What muscles elevate the scapula?

A

Elevator Scapulae, Superior Fibres of Trapezius

26
Q

What muscles depress the scapula?

A

Inferior Trapezius, Subclavius (weak), Pec Minor, Lower Fibres of Lat Dorsi

27
Q

What muscles protract scapula?

A

Serratus anterior and pec major

28
Q

What muscles retract scapula?

A

Rhomboids, trapezius total and middle fibres,

29
Q

What muscles superiorly rotate the scapula?

A

Inferior and superior fibres of trapezius, lower fibres of serratus anterior
