Chapter 10 (Shoulder Joint) Flashcards
Describe the shoulder joint.
- Ball-and-socket
- Most movable but least stable
- Moves in all 3 planes
What are joint motions in the sagittal plane?
Flexion, extension, hyperextension
What are joint motions in the frontal plane?
Abduction, Adduction
What are joint motions in the tranverse plane?
- External + Internal rotation
- Horizontal abduction + adduction
Name some scapular landmarks.
- Gleniod fossa - Subscapulae fossa
- Infraspinous fossa - Supraspinous fossa
- Axillary border - Labrum
- Acromion Process - Vertebral border
Describe gleniod fossa
Shallow, egg shape
Provides attachment for the subscapularis
Subscapulae Fossa
Describe the infraspinous fossa
Above the spine, infrapinous attachment
Sits above spine of fossa, supraspinous attachment.
Supraspinous Fossa
Provieds attachment for the teres major and minor
Axillary border
Fibrocartilage ring that helps deepen the socket to give the head of the humerus more room
Labrum
Provides attachment for the middle deltoid
Acromion attachment
What are the landmarks of the humerus?
- Head 2. Neck (2 types)
- Shaft 4. Greater + Lesser tubercles
- Deltiod Tuberosity 6. Bicipital groove
This deepens the articular cartilage, surrounds the gleniod fossa
Labrum
How many rotator cuffs are there and what do they do?
- 4
- help keep the head of humerus “rotating” against the glenoid fossa during joint motion
