Bones of Upper Limb Flashcards
What is the only long bone that lies horizontally?
Clavicle
What forms the pectoral (shoulder) girdle?
clavical, scapula
Is the sternal end of the clavicle medial or lateral
medial
Is the acromial end of the clavicle medial or lateral? What differs it from the sternal end
lateral, is flat
Where are the articular surfaces found on the clavicle?
sternal and acromial end
Where does the costoclavicular ligament attach?
near sternal end on inferior surface is an impressioon
Where is the subsclavian groove located and what is it for?
for subclavian muscle attachment lies on inferior surface of the body of the clavicle
Where is the conoid tubercle of the clavicle?
lies near the acromial end close to the trapezoid line
What form the Acromioclavicular Joint (ACJ)s
acromion of scpula and acromial end of clavicle
What are the movements of the acromioclavicular joint
sliding/gliding
What forms the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ)?
manubrium of sternum and sternal end of clavicle
What are the movements of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ)
elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, rotation
What bone is the first to ossify and what type of bone is it?
a subcutaneous bone, clavicle
What does ossification mean?
to become bone
What does the scapula look like
flat and triangular
What does the scapula contain?
(maybe look at an unlabeled photo)
medial (vertebral) border, lateral border, superior border, superior/inferior angles, subscapular fossa
supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, spine, acromial facet, acromial angle, supraglenoid tubercle, infraglenoid tubercle, neck, coracoid process, subscapular notch
What is the subscapular fossa of the scapula?
anterior or costal surface that is flat and slightly concave
How is the dorsal surface of the scapula divided and what are the divisions called?
the dorsal surface is divided by the spine of the scapula into smaller supraspinous fossa and larger infraspinous fossa
Describe the spine of the scapula
has a triangular base medially which rises laterally and ends at acromion
What is the acromion of the scapula
flattened process located at the end of the spine of scapula laterally
Where/What is the acromial facet of the scapula
near the lateral end is an oval articular facet for articulation with clavicle
What/Where is the glenoid cavity
beared by lateral angle of scapula, articulates with head of the humerous to form Glenohumeral joint
What/where is the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
at its upper border a small projection
Where is the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
below glenoid cavity
Where is the neck of the scapula
adjacent (medial) to glenoid cavity
Where is the coracoid process of the scapula
lies above glenoid cavity, bent at a right angle ventro-laterally
Where is the suprascapular notch
medial to base of coracoid process on upper border of scapula
What is the proximal end of the humerous formed by
head, anatomical neck, greater/lesser tubercle
What facets does the greater tubercle of the humourus carry?
3 facets: superior, middle and inferior
What lies intermediate to the greater and lesser tubercle of the humerous?
intertubercular (bicipital) groove
Describe the intertubercular (bicipital) groove
has 2 lips: crest of greater/lesser tubercle
