G: Scapular & Pectoral Flashcards
What is the action of the deltoid muscle?
Primary: abduct humerus
Secondary: Flex, extend, & rotate humerus
Deltoid nurovasculature?
Axillary nerve (C5, C6)
posterior circumflex humeral vessels
Teres major muscle actions?
Medially rotate and extend humerus
Teres major nurovasculature?
Lower (inferior) subscapular nerve (C5-C7)
subscapular vessels
Supraspinatus muscle action?
Abducts humerus for the first 15 degrees
Supraspinatus muscle nurovasculature?
Suprascapular nerve (C5, C6)
suprascapular vessels and dorsal scapular vessels.
Infraspinatus muscle action?
Laterally rotates the humerus
Infraspinatus muscle nurovasculature?
Suprascapular nerve (C5, C6)
suprascapular vessels and subscapular vessels
Teres minor muscle actions?
Lateral rotation of the humerus
Teres minor muscle nurovasculature
Axillary nerve (C5, C6)
suprascapular vessels and subscapular vessels.
Subscapularis muscle actions?
Medial rotation of the humerus.
Subscapularis muscle nurovasculature?
Upper and lower subscapular nerves
subscapular vessels
What provides the outer muscular support of the shoulder region?
Deltoid muscle
What muscles provide the inner rotator cuff support of the shoulder region.
SITS
Supraspinatus: superior
Infraspinatus: lateral
Teres minor: lateral/slightly inferior
Subscapularis: medial/slightly inferior
What is found in the subacromial bursa?
Lubricating synovial fluid
Does the subacromial bursa communicate with the joint capsule?
No. It is superior to the supraspinatus muscle
What happens to the subacromial bursa with age?
May join with joint capsule as supraspinatus tendon degenerates.
What are the borders of the quadrangular space?
Superior = teres minor Inferior = teres major Medial = long head of triceps brachii Lateral = surgical neck of humerus
What passes through the quadrangular space?
Axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral vessels
What are the borders of the triangular space?
Superior: Teres minor
Inferior: teres major
Lateral: long head of triceps brachii
What passes through the triangular space?
Circumflex scapular vessels
What are the borders of the triangular interval?
Superior = teres major Medial = long head of triceps brachii Lateral = lateral head of triceps brachii
What passes through the triangular interval?
Radial nerve and deep brachial artery (aka profunda brachial artery)
