Breast, Pectoral Muscles and Clavipectoral Fascia Flashcards
How do you identify whether a clavicle is right or left?
- Identify acromial and sternal ends (Acromial end is flatter)
- Identify which surface is inferior and superior–> superior is smooth, inferior is rough
Where does the sternal end of the clavicle attach to, and what joint is it?
Attaches to the Manubrium of the Sternum at the Sternoclavicular Joint. It is an atypical synovial joint
Where does the acromial end of the clavicle attach to, and what joint is it?
Attaches to the Acromion on the Scapula at the Acromioclavicular Joint. It is an atypical synovial joint
What is an atypical synovial joint?
It is a synovial joint, but it’s articular cartilage is made of fibrocartilage rather than hyaline cartilage
What ligaments attach to the clavicle at the acromial end?
The coaracoclavicular ligament, consisting of the conoid and trapezoid ligaments
What ligaments attach to the clavicle at the sternal end?
The costoclavicular ligament
What happens when the clavicle gets fractured?
The sternocleidomastoid muscle pulls the medial side upwards, and the lateral side goes down
Where is the spine of the scapula?
T3 to T7
How do you identify if a scapula is right or left?
Identify the medial and lateral borders, then find the coracoid process–> it will be anterior
Where does the Humerus attach to the Scapula?
The Glenoid cavity/fossa, at the glenohumeral joint
What happens if the Thoracic Nerve of Bell is not working?
The Scapula becomes winged
Where does Pectoralis Major originate?
Clavicle and Sternum
Where does Pectoralis Major Attach?
Lateral lip of the bicipital groove on the humerus
What is the nervous supply of Pectoralis Major?
Medial and Lateral Pectoral Nerves
What is the blood supply of Pectoralis Major?
Lateral Thoracic Artery, Pectoral Branch of Thoracoacromial Artery and Anterior Intercostal Arteries
What are the functions of Pectoralis Major?
Flexion, Adduction and Medial Rotation
Where does Pectoralis Minor Originate?
Ribs 3-5
Where does Pectoralis Minor Attach?
Coracoid Process of Scapula
What is the nervous supply of Pectoralis Minor?
Medial Pectoral Nerve
