what are the borders of the shoulder
medial = pectoral
superior = clavicle
posterior = scapula
inferior = upper arm
what is the main joint in the shoulder
glenohumeral
what are the subdivisions of the shoulder region
deltoid and axillary
what groove is this and why is it anatomically relevant
deltopectoral groove
it houses the cephalic vein and is where the coracoid is most palpable
what makes up the axillary fossa
what is the floor and apex of the axillary region
floor = armpit fascia
apex = cervicoaxillary canal
what are the outlines for the upper arm ?
the deltoid region of the shoulder superiorly down to the elbow region inferiorly
what groove is this ?
medial bicipital groove
formed between biceps brachii and triceps brachii
what groove is this ?
lateral bicipital groove
what are the regions of the upper arm
anterior
and
posterior = deltoid and elbow
what are the regions of the cubital/elbow region
anterior and posterior
what is the main contents of the cubital fossa
tendons of the biceps brachii
what can be found in posterior cubital region

what are the compartments of the carpal region

what muscle is this
eminentia thenaris /thenar muscle
what muscle is this
eminentia hypothenaris / hypothenar muscles
