Q

Direction of erector spinae muscles

A

posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula to medial lip of bicepital groove

26
Q

Where does the tendon of supraspinatus pass?

A

through a small space unfer the coracoacromial ligament

this can be impinged by overhead activities such as throwing

27
Q

Deltoid attachment

A

origin: scapula and clavicle
insertion: deltoid tuberosity

28
Q

biceps brachii

A

origin: long head from supraglenoid tubercle of scapula, short head from coracoid process

both heads insert into radial tuberosity and fascia of forearm via bicipital aponeurosis

29
Q

triceps brachii

A

long head from infraglenoid tubercle
lateral head from humerus, superior to radial groove
medial head- humerus, inferior to radial groove

insertion: heads converge into one tendon distally and insert into olecranon

30
Q

coracobrachialis

A

origin: coracoid process of scapula

Muscle passes through axilla and attaches to medial side of humeral shaft at deltoid tubercle

31
Q

pectoralis major

A

origin: clavicle, sternum, superior six costal cartilages
insertion: bicepital groove’s medial lip

32
Q

Quadrangular space

A

formed by teres minor, teres major, shaft of humerus, and long head of triceps brachi

33
Q

Axilla

A

formed by an apex, base and four walls

base: skin and subcutaneous tissue which creates the axillary fossa

apex (inlet): clavicle anteriorly, first rib medially, superior border of scapula posteriorly

34
Q

Axilla muscles

A

teres major, subscapularis, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior, pec minor

35
Q

Axilla anterior wall

A

pectoralis major and minor - pectoral nerves

36
Q

posterior wall of axilla

A

teres major, latissimus dorsi, subscapularis muscle

supplied by branches from posterior cord of brachial plexus

37
Q

medial wall of axilla

A

serratus anterior

long thoracic nerve, from C5-C7 roots of brachial plexus

38
Q

Lateral wall of axilla

A

shaft of humerus

39
Q

Contents of axilla

A

axillary artery and its branches, axillary vein and its tributaries, lymph vessels and nodes, and brachial plexus

40
Q

axillary artery formation

A

continuation of subclavian artery.

Subclavian artery passes through scalene triangle, formed by anterior and middle scalene muscles and first rib, then becomes axillary artery

41
Q

axillary artery course

A

passes through axilla towards lower border of teres major to become brachial artery

42
Q

Parts of the axillary artery

A

divided into three parts by pec minor muscles.

3rd part:
Anterior and posterior circumflex humeral branches wind around surgical neck of humerus, subscapular artery contributes to shoulder anastamoses

43
Q

Axillary vein

A

beside axillary artery

continuation of basilic vein, terminates as subclavian vein at first rib

44
Q

basilic vein

A

medial side of arm

45
Q

passes through the deltopectoral groove to join axillary vein within the axilla

46
Q
