G4_Scapula_EXAM1 Flashcards
The _______Ligament closes the ___________ to forma fossa in the superior part of the scapula where the Suprascapular artery and nerve go over and under to form the army over navy.
Superior transverse scapular ligament
Suprascapular notch
How can you differentiate the different ends of the clavicle?
Sternal end is small
Acromial end is BROAD
What are the FOUR joints/articulations in the scapular region?
- Glenohumoral joint
- Acromioclavicular joint
- Sternoclavicular joint
- SCAPULOTHORACIC JOINT
What muscles cross the Scapulothoracic joint?
Trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi
How do you know if a muscle acts on a joint?
A muscle cannot act on a joint that it doesn’t cross
but WILL act on any joint that it does cross
What vertebral levels of the Rhomboids?
C7 to T5
What muscle can downward rotate and elevate the scapula? What other muscle can downward rotate scapula?
Levator scapulae
Rhomboids
What happens if the Long Thoracic Nerve is damaged?
Where does this motor innervation occur? Why is it special?
WINGING (serratus anterior affected)
Motor innervation for Serratus anterior is Superficial. most nerve innervations are deep
What are the borders of the Quadrangular space? What Comes through it? What clinical concern?
Long Head of Triceps b. goes over teres major, under teres minor, and the humerus
- AXILLARY NERVE & PCHa. (post.circ.humor.art)
-Surgical neck fracture possible PCHA lesion= hemorrhage
What happens if AXILLARY nerve is damaged?
Deltoid can’t ABduct the arm
TERES Minor can’t medially rotate or adduct
Deltoid origin? 3 parts? Actions? Innervation?
- Origin for deltoid is same as trapezius insertion SAC(Spine of scapula, acromion, clavicle)
- 3 parts
○ Anterior- flexion
○ Middle-ABductor
Posterior- extensor
- 3 parts
Innervated by AXILLARY NERVE
Where does INFRASPINATUS attach? What else attaches there?
Greater tubercle of humerus
Teres Minor
What 3 muscles Medially rotates the arm? Where do these muscles INSERT?
LESSER TUBERCLE- Subscapularis
INTERTUBERCULAR SULCUS- Teresa Major, Latissimus Dorsi
What innervates the teres major? Where does it insert? what muscle does it share this insertion with?
Action?
- Lower subscapular nerve
- Intertubercular sulcus
- Latissimus dorsi also inserts here
- Originates from lower medial border of scapula
teres minor:lateral rotates arm/adducts weak
teres major:extend arm from flexed position, adducts, medially rotates arm at shoulder
Triangular space borders? contents?
Teres major/minor/long head of triceps
-Circumflex scapular artery
