Q

Which ligament is located above the tendon of the supraspinatus

A
  • Coracoacromial ligament
34
Q

Coracoacromial ligament - relevance

A

35
Q

What is the quadrangular space formed by

A
  • The space is formed by teres minor, teres major, the shaft of the humerus and the long head of triceps brachii
36
Q

Borders of the axilla

A
  • Base of the axilla is formed by the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which creates the axillary fossa (or armpit)
  • The apex, or inlet, is formed anteriorly by the clavicle, medially by the first rib and posteriorly by the superior border of the scapula
37
Q

Anterior wall of the axilla

A
  • Pec major and minor
38
Q

Posterior wall of the axilla

Q

Medial wall of the axilla

A
  • Serratus ant.
40
Q

Lateral border of the axilla

A
  • Laterally, the axilla is bordered by the shaft of the humerus
41
Q

Contents of the axilla

Q

Which vessel is the axillary artery a continuation of

A
  • Subclavian artery
43
Q

Which triangle does the subclavian artery pass through and what is the triangle formed by

A
  • Passes through the scalene triangle

- Formed by the anterior and middle scalene muscles and the first rib

44
Q

When does the subclavian artery become the axillary

A
  • When it passes over the first rib
45
Q

When does the axillary become the branchial artery

A
  • Towards the lower border of teres major
46
Q

Which muscle divides the axillary artery

A
  • Axillary artery is divided into 3 parts by pec minor
47
Q

Major branches of the axillary

A
  • Anterior and post. circumflex humeral branches that wing around the surgical neck of the humerus
  • Subscapular artery, which contributes to an anastomosis around the shoulder region
48
Q

What vein is the axillary vein a continuation of

A
  • Basilic vein
49
Q

What does the axillary vein terminate as

A
  • Subclavian vein at the first rib
50
Q

Basilic and cephalic veins location

A

Basilic vein - medial side of the arm

Cephalic vein - Can be seen passing through the deltopectoral groove to join the axillary vein within the axilla

51
Q

Which triangle do the trunks of the brachial plexus pass through

A
  • Scalene triangle along with the subclavian artery
52
Q

Which muscle lies directly above the cords of the brachial plexus

  • Attached to the rim of the glenoid fossa and to the anatomical neck of the humerus
69
Q

What is the capsule of the glenohumeral joint strengthened by

A
  • Attachments of the rotator cuff muscles, which surround the joint on all sides, except inferiorly
70
Q
