Chapter: 7, 8, 11 Flashcards
What bones does the pectoral girdle encompass?
- S-shaped clavicle/ collarbone
- Scapula/ shoulder blade
How does the clavicle connect with the pectoral girdle?
- The clavicle articulates with the sternum’s manubruim; is the only direct connection between the axial skeleton and the pectoral girdle
How does the scapula connect with the pectoral girdle?
The scapula is attached to the clavicle anteriorly but has no connection to the actual axial skeleton; instead skeletal muscles and ligaments support it.
What is the only bone that attaches to the arm?
The clavicle
What kind of bone is the clavicle?
A long bone
How do you identify position of the clavicle you are holding?
- Rounded end of the clavicle comes to sternum
- Flat end faces the outside of the body
- Roughness on the bone is on the bottom
- Smoothness on the bone is on the top
- The bone sticks out anteriorly and curves back posteriorly
What is a fossa?
Where muscle attaches
What do ligaments do?
Connects bone to bone
Muscles associated with the pectoral girdle and upper limbs can be divided into four groups:
- Muscles that position the pectoral girdle***
- Muscles that move the arm***
- Muscles that move the forearm and hand
- Muscles that move the hand and fingers
The movements involving trapezius positioning the pectoral girdle
- elevation and depression
- Retract upwards (trap pulls on scapula to rotate)
The movements involving rhomboideus positioning the pectoral girdle
- Adduction
- Downward/ medial rotation
The movements involving lever scapulae positioning the pectoral girdle
- Elevates scapula
The posterior muscles that position the pectoral girdle
- Trapezius
- Rhomboideus
- lever scapulae
The anterior muscles that position the pectoral girdle
- Pectoralis Minor
- Serratus anterior
- Subclavious
The movements involving the pectorals minor positioning the pectoral girdle
- Depression
- Protraction
- Downwards rotation
The movements involving the serratus anterior in positioning the pectoral girdle
- Protraction
- Upward rotation
The movements involving the subclavious in positioning the pectoral girdle
- Pulls forward
- Depression
Origin of levator scapulae
Transverse processes of first four cervical vertebrae
