Anatomy Flashcards
How is the scapula attached to the clavicle?
Acromioclavicular joint - acromion of scapula with acromial/lateral end of clavicle
How is the scapula attached to the humerus?
Glenohumeral joint - head of humerus and glenoid cavity of scapula
How does the humerus articulate with the radius?
Humeroradial joint - head of radius and capitulum of humerus
How does the humerus articulate with the ulna?
Trochlear notch of ulna with trochlea of humerus
List the common fracture sites of the upper limb?
Surgical neck of humerus Supracondylar fracture of humerus Clavicle Distal ulna and radius Scaphoid
Describe the proximal and distal radioulnar joints
Proximal = head of radius and radial notch of ulna Distal = head of ulna and ulnar notch of radius
What is the interosseous membrane?
Fibrous joint
Fibres run inferio-medially from radius to ulna
Allows distribution of force
List the bones of the wrist
Scaphoid Lunate Triquetrum Pisiform Trapezium Trapezoid Capitate Hamate
How is pectoralis major innervated?
Lateral and medial pectoral nerves
Which artery supplies pectoralis major?
thoracoacromial artery
What is the action of pectoralis major?
Flexion, adduction and medial rotation of humerus
What are the origins and insertions of pectoralis major?
Origins = clavicular and sternal heads Insertion = intertubercular groove of humerus
How is pectoralis minor innervated?
Medial pectoral nerve
Which artery supplies pectoralis minor?
Thoracoacromial trunk
What is the action of pectoralis minor?
Depresses shoulder
What is the origin and insertion of pectoralis minor?
Origin = ribs 3-5 Insertion = coracoid process
How is serratus anterior innervated?
Long thoracic nerve
Which arteries supply serratus anterior?
Superior thoracic artery
Lateral thoracic artery
Thoracodorsal artery
What are the actions of serratus anterior?
Rotates scapula to allow arm to raise above 90degrees
Protracted scapula against ribcage
What is the origin and insertion of serratus anterior?
Origin = ribs 1-8 Insertion = medial border of scapula
How is subclavius innervated?
Nerve to subclavius
Which arteries supply subclavius?
Suprascapular artery
Clavicular branch of thoracoacromial artery
What is the action of subclavius?
Depresses clavicle
What is the origin and insertion of subclavius?
Origin = 1st costochondral joint Insertion = subclavian groove on inferior surface of clavicle
How is biceps brachii innervated?
Musculocutaneous nerve (C5, C6)
Which arteries supply biceps brachii?
Muscular branches of brachial artery
What are the actions of biceps brachii?
Supinates forearm
Flexes arm at elbow (when supine)
What are the origins of biceps brachii?
Short head - coracoid process of scapula
Long head - supraglenoid tubercule of scapula
Where does biceps brachii insert?
Radial tuberosity
Bicipital aponeurosis
