Ch 9- shoulder girdle Flashcards
allows hand to be placed in various positions to accomplish the multitude of tasks the hand is capable of performing
purpose of shoulder and upper extremity
most mobile joint in the body and capable of great deal of motion
shoulder (glenohumeral) joint
humerus and scapula
shoulder (glenohumeral) joint
consists of scapula, clavicle, sternum, humerus, ribcage, sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, glenohumeral joint, and “scapulothoracic articulation”
shoulder complex
scapula, clavicle, and sternum (sometimes ribcage)
shoulder girdle
5 muscles attach; shoulder movements consist of: elevation and depression, protraction and retraction, upward and downward rotation
shoulder girdle
consists of scapula and humerus
shoulder “glenohumeral” joint
9 muscles attach; motions: flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation, horizontal adduction and abduction
shoulder “glenohumeral” joint
not a true joint; no direct connection but connected indirectly by clavicle and several muscles; scapula gliding across (over) ribcage (thorax); provides increased motion to shoulder complex
scapulothoracic articulation
a triangular- shaped bone located superficially on posterior side of thorax
scapula
attaches to trunk indirectly through ligamentous attachment to clavicle
scapula
slightly concave anteriorly and glides over convex posterior rib cage
scapula
resting position is located between 2nd and 7th ribs
scapula
about 30 degrees anterior to frontal plane against the posterior thorax
plane of scapula
superior medial aspect, providing attachment for levator scapula muscle
superior angle
most inferior point & where vertebral and axillary borders meet; determines scapular rotation
inferior angle
between superior and inferior angles medially & attachment of the rhomboid and serratus anterior muscle
vertebral (medial) border
lateral side between glenoid fossa and inferior angle
axillary (lateral) border
projection on posterior surface running from medial border laterally to acromion process; provides attachment for middle and lower trapezius muscles; level with spinous process of 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae
spine
projection on anterior surface, providing attachment for pectoralis minor muscle
coracoid process
broad, flat area on superior lateral aspect; providing attachment for pectoralis minor muscle
acromion process
slightly concave surface that articulates with humerus on superior lateral side above the axillary (lateral) border and below the acromion process; positioned in an anterior, lateral, and upward direction
glenoid fossa
when you break the clavicle, you lose??
stability
s-shaped bone that connects the upper extremity to the axial skeleton at sternoclavicular joint
clavicle
attaches medially to sternum
sternal end
area between the two ends of clavicle
body
attaches laterally to scapula and provides attachment for upper trapezius muscles
acromial end
flat bone located in midline of anterior thorax; superior end provides attachment for clavicle followed beneath by attachments for costal cartilage of ribs
sternum
superior end providing attachment for clavicle and first rib
manubrium
middle 2/3rd of sternum, provides attachment for remaining rib
body
“sword shaped”; inferior tip
xiphoid process
formed by articulation between manubrium of sternum and medial (sternal) end of clavicle
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
synovial joint providing shoulder girdle with its only direct attachment to trunk
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
“modified” ball and socket joint; in congruent saddle joint; plane-shaped double gliding joint
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
“triaxial joint”- allows movements in three planes
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
dislocation is rare in this joint
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
joint capsule with 3 major ligaments and joint discs
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
in this joint, the clavicle moves and sternum is stationary
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
motions: elevation and depression in frontal plane, protraction and retraction in transverse plane, rotation along the longitudinal axis
sternoclavicular (SC) joint
shock absorber; important when falling on outstretched hand
articular disk of sternoclavicular (SC) joint
attached to posterior superior part of clavicle
upper part of articular disk of sternoclavicular (SC) joint
attached to manubrium and 1st costal cartilage
upper part of articular disk of sternoclavicular (SC) joint
protraction and retraction occurs between ______ in the articular disk of sternoclavicular (SC) joint
disc and sternum
