ch 10- shoulder joint bony landmarks and muscles Flashcards
(40 cards)
what motion is occuring?

shoulder flexion: 0 to 180 degrees; sagittal plane around frontal axis
what motion is occuring?

shoulder hyperextension: 45 degrees from anatomical position; sagittal plane around frontal axis
what motion is occuring?

shoulder abduction: frontal plane around sagittal axis with 180 degrees of motion
what motion is occuring?

shoulder adduction: frontal plane around sagittal axis with 180 degrees of motion
what motion is occuring?

circumduction: combination of all shoulder motions
what motions are occuring?

medial and lateral rotation: transverse plane around vertical axis
what motion is occuring?

shoulder horizontal abduction: transverse plane around vertical axis
what motion is occuring?

shoulder horizontal adduction: occurs in transverse plane around vertical axis
what motion is occuring?

scaption: occurs in scapular plane approximately 30 degrees forward of frontal plane
what bony landmark is highlighted?

gelnoid fossa: shallow, egg-shaped socket on the superior end, lateral side: articulates with the humerus
what deepens this bony landmark?

glenoid labrum: fibrocartilaginous ring attached to the rim of glenoid fossa, which deepens the articular cavity
what bony landmark is colored?

supraspinous fossa: above the spine, providing attachment for the supraspinatus muscle
what bony landmark is colored?

infraspinous fossa: below the spine, providing attachment for the infraspinatus muscle
what bony landmark is colored?

subscapular fossa: includes most of the area on the anterior (costal) surface, providing attachment for the subscapularis muscle
what bony landmark is highlighted?

axillary border: providing attachment for teres major and minor muscles
what bony landmark is highlighted?

acromion process: broat, flat area on the superior lateral aspect, providing attachment for the middle deltoid muscle
what bony landmark is highlighted?

head: semirounded proximal end; articulates with the scapula
what bony landmark is highlighted?

anatomical neck: circumferential groove separating the head from the tubercle
what bony landmark is highlighted?

surgical neck: slightly constricted area just below tubercles where the head meets the body
what bony landmark is highlighted?

shaft: “body”; area between the surgical neck proximaly and wider distal end
what bony landmark is highlighted

greater tubercle: large projection lateral to head and lesser tubercle, provides attachment for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles
what bony landmark is highlighted?

lesser tubercle: smaller projection on the anterior surface, medial to the greater tubercle; provides attachment for the subscapularis muscle
what bony landmark is highlighted?

deltoid tuberosity: on the lateral side near the midpoint of the shaft, not usually a well defined landmark
what bony landmark is highlighted?

bicipital groove: intertubercular groove: the longitudinal groove between the tubercles, containing the tend of the long head of the biceps
