Anatomy of the Shoulder and Shoulder Girdle Flashcards
name the 3 bones relevant to the shoulder and shoulder girdle?
humerus
scapula
clavicle
what bony points are relevant to the scapula?
acromion process coracoid process inferior angle superior angle lateral border medial border spine
what bony points are relevant to the humerus?
greater tubercle
lesser tubercle
bicipital groove
describe the sternoclavicular joint?
medial aspect of clavicle + clavicle notch of sternum
elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, axial rotation
ball and socket in form but not function, sleeve like capsule
ligaments are; Anterior sternoclavicular ligament, posterior sternoclavicular ligament, interclavicular ligament, costoclavicular ligament
describe the acromioclavicular joint?
lateral aspect of clav + facet on anteromedial border of acromion (scap)
3 axes, no muscle attachment so all passive
loose but strong capsule
ligament; coracoclavicular ligament
describe the glenohumeral joint?
head of humerus + glenoid fossa (scap)
ball and socket (shallow=unstable)
capsule= loose sleeve
ligaments; coracohumeral ligament, coracoacromial ligament, superior glenohumeral ligament, middle glenohumeral ligament, inferior glenohumeral ligament, transverse glenohumeral ligament
name the 4 rotator cuff muscles?
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
teres minor
subscapularis
what is the primary function of rotator cuff muscles?
hold the humeral head in place as the joint is shallow (as ligaments do)
prevent sliding/grinding when shoulder joint is moving
what 2 muscles abduct the arm at the shoulder joint?
supraspinatus deltoid (lateral)
what 4 muscles adduct the arm at the shoulder joint?
coracobrachialis
pectoralis major
latissimus dorsi
teres major
what 4 muscles flex the arm at the shoulder joint?
pectoralis major
deltoid (anterior)
coracobrachialis
biceps brachii (long head)
what 5 muscles extend the arm at the shoulder joint?
latissimus dorsi teres major pectoralis major deltoid (posterior) triceps brachii
what 5 muscles medially rotate the arm at the shoulder joint?
subscapularis teres major latissimus dorsi pectoralis major deltoid (anterior)
what 3 muscles laterally rotate the arm at the shoulder joint?
teres minor
infraspinatus
deltoid (posterior)
what 2 muscles protract the shoulder gridle?
serratus anterior
pectoralis minor
