Arm and Shoulder Joint Flashcards
supraglenoid tubercle
attachment site for long head of biceps
infraglenoid tubercle
attachment of long head of triceps
articular surfaces of distal humerus
capitulum- lateral w/ radius
trochlea- medial w/ ulna
coronoid fossa vs radial fossa
coronoid- receives coronoid porcess of ulna during elbow flexion
radial- receives radial head during flexion
radial groove
located on posterior surface of humerus, contain radial nerve and deep brachial artery
ulnar groove
posterior of medial epicondyle for passage of ulnar nerve
axillary nerve wraps arond..
surgical neck
venous drainage of upper limb
superficial, deep, and perforating
all have valves to increase venous return
deep veins are named after accompanying arteries, usually paired around artery
venae communicantes
paired deep vein around pulsating artery, pulsation helps venous return
brachial fascia
deep fascia around arm- continuous from deltoid, pec, and axillary fascia
vacuum tight to muscle, continues into forearm as antebrachial fascia
septa of brachial fascia
medial and lateral- attach to shaft of humerus and divide arm into flexor and extensor compartments
3 muscles of anterior arm
biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis
biceps brachii
originates: short head from coracoid, long head from supraglenoid tubercle
inserts into proximal radius (radial tuberosity) and bicipital aponeurosis
flexes shoulder joint and supinates forearm and flexor of forearm
innervated by C5 and C6 via musculocutaneous
reason biceps can tear
crosses two major joints- this allows any muscle in this category to tear
typical cause of ruptured biceps
long head tear from wear or porlonged tendonitis
commonly from supraglenoid tubercle
