arm and shoulder joint Flashcards
lymph fluid from the extremeties is conveyed by a series of ____ and ___ vessels
superficial and deep
Supraglenoid tubercle
for attachment of the long head of the biceps
Infraglenoid tubercle
for attachment of the long head of the triceps
Capitulum
for articulation with the head of the radius
Trochlea
articulation with the ulna
(think trochlea is near the trunk)
sheath of deep fascia that encloses the arm like a sleeve, continuous from the deltoid, pectoral, and axillary fascia proximally
brachial fascia
fascia
the pectoral fascia then becomes the deltoid fascia then becomes the brachial fascia between shoulder and elbow and then its the antebrachial fascia distally into the forearm
strong ___ arise from the brachial fascia and attach to the shaft of the humerus
septa
in the brachial fascia, _____ and ____ intermuscular septa divide the arm into an ______ and ______ compartment with muscles that share the same function and innervation
medial/lateral
anterior (flexor)/Posterior (extensor)
biceps muscles cross ___ joints
two
shoulder and elbow hence it acts on both joints
innervation of biceps brachii
C5 (and C6) of the musculocutaneous nerve
origin of biceps brachii
long head - supraglenoid tubercle of scapula (tendon courses in the intertubercular sulcus or bicipital groove)
short head - coracoid process of scapula
Rupture of the _____ of the biceps generally occurs due to “wear and tear” or prolonged tendonitis (baseball pitchers, weight lifters) or chronic arthritis (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis) within the joint
long head
insertion of brachialis
proximal ulna (tuberosity)
insertion of biceps brachii
radial tuberosity of the proximal radius as well as the anterachial fascia via the bicipital aponeurosis
innervation of posterior arm compartment
radial nerve
only muscle located in posterior compartment of the arm
triceps brachii
located deep to the biceps
brachialis
origin of brachialis
distal half of the humerus
saturday night palsy
compression of radial nerve against the humerus can cause a temporary wrist drop
located on the posterior surface for passage of the radial nerve and the deep brachial artery
radial groove!
on posterior aspect of medial epicondyle
ulnar nerve
(common site for ulnar nerve impingment)
muscles of the anterior arm compartment
biceps brachii
coracobrachialis
brachialis
muscles of the anterior arm compartment are innervated by the
musculocutaneous nerve
the venous system of the upper limb consists of ________ and ________ veins
superficial and deep veins
what innervates the muscles that extends the wrist
radial nerve
perforating veins
connect the superficial veins to the deep veins in the upper limb
superficial veins are located wtihin the _____ tissues
subcutaneous (easily visible)
common site for phelbotomy
median cubital vein
what are the superficial veins?
cephalic vein and basilic vein
(basilic is medial/basilic near boob)
