A&P 2 Unit 11 [Part 2] (Lab) [Muscles Part 2] Flashcards
2Which two bones articulate at the shoulder joint?
Scapula & Humerus
Muscles that move the arm insert on the _____?
Humerus
Does the shoulder joint have more or less range of motion (ROM) than the elbow joint?
More ROM
Is the shoulder joint more or less stable than the elbow joint?
Less stable
What is the relationship between ROM and Stability?
ROM and stability are a “trade-off” at a joint. The greater a joint’s ROM, the less its stability. The more stable a joint, the less ROM it exhibits.
What happens during shoulder abduction?
During shoulder abduction, the greater tubercle of the humerus must avoid hitting the acromion process of the scapula. During internal rotation, the greater tubercle is brought near the acromion during abduction, limiting your comfort and ROM.
*Deltoid
- Superficial muscle, covering the shoulder joint on 3 sides
- Functionally divided into Anterior Deltoid, Middle Deltoid, Posterior Deltoid
- Runs from clavicle, acromion, and scapular spine to humerus
- All 3 portions can perform shoulder abduction
*Anterior Deltoid (Actions)
- Flexion
- Internal Rotation
- Horizontal Adduction
*Posterior Deltoid (Actions)
- Extension
- Hyperextension
- External Rotation
- Horizontal Abduction
*Middle Deltoid (Actions)
- Abduction
*
Deltoid
Supraspinatus
- Runs from supraspinous fossa of scapula to greater tubercle of humerus
Supraspinatus (Actions)
- Abduction
Supraspinatus
*Pectoralis major
- Large, superficial chest muscle, running from clavicle, sternum, and rib cartilages to greater tubercle of humerus
*Pectoralis major (Actions)
- Flexion
- Adduction
- Internal Rotation
- Horizontal Adduction
*
Pectoralis major
*Latissimus Dorsi
- Broad, posterior muscle; expansive origin
- Wraps around the medial aspect of the humerus, inserting on its anterior surface
*Latissimus Dorsi (Actions)
- Extension
- Hyperextension
- Adduction
- Internal Rotation
- Horizontal Abduction
*
Latissimus Dorsi
Teres Major
- The “little brother” of latissimus dorsi
- Does everything its big brother can do, except it cannot help hyperextend
- Smaller and less powerful than its big brother
Teres Major (Actions)
- Shoulder extension
- Shoulder adduction
- Shoulder internal rotation
- Shoulder horizontal abduction
Teres Major
Infraspinatus & Teres Minor
- Partners together- very similar in location & function
- Run from infraspinous fossa of scapula to humerus
Infraspinatus & Teres Minor (Actions)
- External Rotation
- Horizontal Abduction
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
- Runs from subscapular fossa of scapula (against ribcage) to humerus
Subscapularis (Action)
Internal Rotation
Subscapularis
Coracobrachialis
- Runs nearly vertically from coracoid process of scapula to medial shaft of humerus
- Stabilizes the shoulder joint by “snugging” the head of the humerus against glenoid fossa (adduction)
Coracobrachialis
Rotator Cuff
- “SITS”
- The totator cuff is a tendinous band formed by the insertions of 4 shoulder muscles on the humerus. Together, they envelop the shoulder joint.
- These muscles work hard during any movements involving shoulder abduction, keeping the head of the humerus in the glenoid fossa, essentially preventing shoulder dislocation.

Impingement Syndrome
Compression of soft tissues, such as the rotator cuff muscles, against the acromial arch; results from overuse, especially hyperextension, abduction
Torn Rotator Cuff
Tears of any tendinous insertion(s) of SITS from the humerus
Glenohumeral Subluxation
A partial dislocation of the shoulder joint, commonly seen in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Shoulder paralysis leaves them unable to hold the head of the humerus in the glenoid fossa against gravity & the weight of the arm.
