3B - shoulder to elbow Flashcards
where does the arterial blood supply begin on the right side
brachiocephalic trunk
right subclavian artery
branched off of the brachiocephalic; courses beneath clavicle towards armpit to become axillary artery; branches off a vertebral artery (to brain)
cubital fossa
triangular shaped region at anterior aspect of elbow
phlebotomy
opening of a vein to diminish the blood supply
upper limb
extends from shoulder to hand
scapula
shoulder blade
subscapular fossa
origin of subscapularis
- anterior aspect
supraspinous fossa
origin of supraspinatus
- posterior aspect, above spine of scapula
infraspinous fossa
origin of infraspinatus
- posterior aspect, below spine of scapula
acromion
outward extension of the shoulder blade forming the point of the shoulder
glenoid fossa
the part of the scapula that joins with the humeral head to form the glenohumeral joint
coracoid process
process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment
3 borders of the scapula
superior, lateral, medial
supraglenoid tubercle
prominence superior to the glenoid cavity
clavicle
s-shaped bone that helps support the shoulder
concave clavicle
articulates with sternum (sternal articular surface)
convex clavicle
articulates with acromion of scapula
sternoclavicular joint
between sternum and clavicle
acromioclavicular joint
between acromion and clavicle
glenohumeral joint
the synovial ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder between the head of the humerus and glenoid fossa
scapulothoracic joint
not a “real” joint, but allows for movement between the scapula and thoracic cage, which is critical for arm abduction
anterior sternoclavicular ligament
helps to secure head of clavicle into sternum
costoclavicular ligament
band of connective tissue that unites the medial clavicle with the first rib
coracoacromial ligament
makes a connection between the coracoid process and the acromion
acromioclavicular ligament
connects the clavicle to the acromion
coracoclavicular ligament
connects the clavicle to the coracoid process
grade 1 shoulder separation
stretching of acromioclavicular ligament
grade 2 shoulder separation
rupture of acromioclavicular ligament, stretching of coracoclavicular ligament
grade 3 shoulder separation
rupture of acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments
coracohumeral ligament
connects head of humerus to the coracoid process
what are the 3 glenohumeral ligaments
superior, middle, inferior
glenoid labrum
thickening of fibrocartilage around the glenoid fossa. deepens the socket for better contact with the humeral head. may be torn with dislocations
scapulohumeral rhythm
a regular pattern of scapular rotation that accompanies and facilitates humeral abduction
which joint is responsible for arm abduction when there is less than 30° of abduction
glenohumeral joint
which joint is responsible for arm abduction when there is greater than 30° of abduction
glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joint
how many degrees does the glenohumeral joint move when the scapulothoracic joint moves 1 degree
2 degrees
axilla
fat-filled space providing passageway for blood vessels and nerves
axillary lymph nodes
concentrated in armpit, receive lymph from upper limb and female breast
axilla anterior border
pectoralis major and pectoralis minor
axilla medial border
serratus anterior and thoracic wall
axilla posterior border
subscapularis, teres major, latissimus dorsi
