54: Scapular and Pectoral Regions Flashcards
only bony attachment of the upper limb to the thorax
sternoclavicular joint
end of the clavicle distal by the shoulder
acromial end
the sternal end is obvi by the sternum
what structures are contained withing the suprascapular notch on the scapula?
the notch is for the suprascapular artery and nerce
the superior transverse ligament of scapula covers the notch, artery is above and nerve is below
the _________ degrees of elevation of the upper limb can occur without movement of the scapula
first 30
full abduction (180) of the arm is 60 degrees _______- and 120 degrees ______________
120 degrees occurs at the glenohumeral joint and 60 degrees from scapular rotation
morphology of the sternoclavicular joint
saddle joint but functionally it is a ball and socket
three ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint
acromioclavicular ligament
cracoclavicular ligament
coracoacromial ligament
movements of the scapula
elevation/depression
protraction/retraction
rotation
what type of joint is the glenohumeral joint?
ball and socket joint
fibrocartilaginous ring surrounding the glenoid cavity
glenoid labrum
where is the shoulder joint capsule weakest?
the capsule is weakest inferiorly where it is not reinforced by the coracoacromial arch or the rotator cuff muscles «_space;anterior dislocation»_space;
what provides most of the support and stability to the shoulder joint?
rotator cuff muscles
holds the long tendon of the biceps brachii between within the biciptal groove
transverse humeral ligament
reinforces superior border of glenohumeral joint preventing superior dislocation
coracoacromial ligament
movements at the glenohumeral joint
medial/lateral rotation
abduction/adduction
flexion/extension
extrinsic muscles attaching the upper limb to the thorax
axio-appendicular muscles
proximal attachment pectoralis major
clavicular and sternal head
clavicular: anterior medial shaft of the clavicle
sternal: anterior surface of the sternum
distal attachment pectoralis major
lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus
innervation pectoralis major
lateral and medial pectoral nn.
actions pectoralis major
adducts, medially rotates, and flexes the humerus. Can EXTEND the humerus from a flexed/elevated position
proximal attachment pectoralis minor
3rd-5th ribs
distal attachment pectoralis minor
medial border of the coracoid process (scapula)
N pectoralis minor
medial pectoral n.
actions of pectoralis minor
stabilizes the scapula; elevates ribs (accessory muscle of respiration)
proximal attachment subclavius
junction of the first rib and manubrium
distal attachment subclavius
inferior center of the clavicle
innervation subclavius
nerve to the subclavius
actions subclavius
anchors and depresses clavicle
proximal attachment serratus anterior
lateral parts or ribs 1-8
distal attachment serratus anterior
medial anterior border of the scapula
innervation serratus anterior
long thoracic n.
actions serratus anterior
protracts, rotates, and stabilizes scapula on thorax (also abduction > 90)
“winged scapula”
damage to serratus anterior or long thoracic nerve
proximal attachment trapezius
occipital bone, spinous processes of C1-T12
distal attachment trapezius
lateral third of clavicle, acromion, superior border of scapular spine
innervation trapezius
accessory n. (CN XI)
action trapezius
elevates, retracts, rotates, and depresses scapula
proximal attachment levator scapulae
transverse processes of C1-4
distal attachment levator scapulae
superior angle of scapula
innervation levator scapulae
dorsal scapular n.
action levator scapulae
elevates scapula
