Anatomy Exam 1 Flashcards
Pectoral Fascia
Covers pectoralis major
Axillary Fascia
Continuation of pectoral fascia laterally ,fatty for protection or arteries and nerves
Clavipectoral Fascia
Deep to pectoralis major; encloses subclavius muscle and pectoralis muscle
Dermatomes: clavicle
C4
Dermatomes: level of nipples
T4
Dermatomes: level of navel
T10
Rotator Cuff Muscles
Infraspinatus
Supraspinatus (most frequently torn)
Theres Major
Subscapularis
Investing layer of dense connective tissue
a “sleeve” binding all structures in the neck; attached to ligament niche and spinous process of C7 vertebrae; splits to enclose trapezius and sternocleidomastoid
Infrahyoid fascia
covering supra and infra hyoid muscles (strap muscles)
Pretracheal fascia
viscera surrounded with layer of fascia including the thyroid and parathyroid glands, larynx, trachea, and esophagus
Carotid sheath
Carotid artery, internal jugular v, and vagus nerve
Prevertebral (deep cervical fascia)
covering vertebral musculature
Which arteries provide anastamoses (collective circulation) to the scapula?
Suprascapular and circumflex scapular
Abduction of the humerus
10-15% Supraspinatus
16-90% Deltoid
91-180% Trapezius
Most frequently torn rotator cuff muscle?
supraspinatus
What differentiates cervical vertebrae?
Presence of foramina vertebral artery
C1 (atlas)- no spine and no body
C2 (axis)- dens, bifid spinous process
C7- vertibra prominens
What differentiates thoracic vertebrae?
Costal facets- 2 on each side of body, 1 on each transverse ribs (except T11 and T12)
What differentiates lumbar vertebrae?
Massive kidney shaped body
Articular processes are closer together to restrict movement
Superior facets directed posteromedially
Inferior facets directed anterolaterally
Kyphosis curvature
Primary
Concave anteriorly
-thoracic
-sacral
Lordosis
Secondary
Concave posteriorly
-cervical
-lumbar
Abnormal Curvatures
Excessive kyphosis- humpback
Excessive lordosis- hollow back (almost all pregnant women)
Scoliosis- abnormal lateral curvature
Variations in vertebrae
Cervical rib
Lumber rib
Sacralization
Lumbarization
Atlanto- axial joint
Median atlanto-axial - pivot
Lateral atlanto- axial- gliding
NO-NO joint (shaking-rotation)
Atlanto-occipital joint
YES-YES joint - nodding (flexion and extension)
