Ch. 5: Bones and Joints of Shoulder Girldle Flashcards
Bones of shoulder girdle
Clavicle, scap, humerus (not part of the shoulder girdle proper but depends on the girdle for full motion)
The only skeletal attachment of the shoulder girdle to the thorax is the _____
Sternoclavicular joint (SC joint)
upward tip of scap is also known as _____
anterior tilt
the superior transverse scap ligament does not pass a ______
joint
which joint is not a true joint
scapulothoracic joint (ST)
there is no posterior connection of the upper extremity to the thorax, instead it relies primarily on _____ _____
muscular stability
what’re the articulating surfaces of the glenohumeral joint
glenoid fossa of scap and head of humerus
whats the classification of the glenohumeral joint
multi axial, synovial, ball and socket
what’re the mvts of the glenohumeral joint in the sagittal plane. axis?
flexion/extension
medial-lateral axis
what’re the mvts of the GH joint in the transverse plane. axis?
horizontal abduction/adduction
vert. axis
what mvts of GH JT occur in the frontal plane. axis?
adduction and abduction
ANT/POST axis
INT/EXT ROT’N of GH JT occurs in what plane and axis
no plane, mechanical axis of humerus
the 5 ligs. in GH JT
capsule, GH lig., coracohumeral lig., transverse humeral lig., and the coracoacromial lig.
3 bursae and labrum of GH JT
GH labrum, subdeltoid bursa, subacromial bursa, subscapular bursa
the GH capsule attaches where on the humerus and scap
anatomical neck of humerus and circumference of the glenoid fossa
when is the axillary recess of the GH JT capsule taut and loose
taut: arm if full abduction
loose: arm if full adduction
where is the axillary recess
inferior aspect of the GH JT capsule
the tendons of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis ______ with the GH JT capsule
blend
location and func. of the glenoid labrum
forms a lip around the glenoid fossa to deepen it. Increases congruency b/w opposing bones
3 feats. of GH lig.
partially capsular, on the ANT surface of JT, Z-shaped with 3 bands, limits EXT ROT’N and horizontal abduction
