Joints of the Upper Limb - S1P7 Flashcards
features of synovial joints
potential space
synovial fluid
joint capsule
usually reinforced by intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments
articular hyaline cartilage
plane joints
usually uniaxial
permit gliding of sliding movements
e.g. acromioclavicular joint
hinge joint
uniaxial
permit flexion and extension only
e.g. elbow joint
saddle joint
biaxial
saddle shaped head permits movement in two different planes
e.g. carpometacarpal joints
condyloid joints
biaxial
permit flexion and extension, abduction and adduction and circumduction
e.g. metacarpophalangeal joint
ball and socket joint
multiaxial joint
a rounded head fits into a concavity permitting movement on several axes
e.g. hip, shoulder
pivot joint
uniaxial
a rounded process of bone fits into a bony ligamentous socket, permitting rotation
e.g. atlantoaxial joint
features of the proximal humerus
head
anatomical neck
surgical neck
greater tubercle
lesser tubercle
intertubercular sulcus
deltoid tuberoisty
features of the scapula
subscapular fossa
coracoid process
acromium
glenoid fossa
borders of the scapula
lateral
medial
superior
angles of the scapula
inferior
superior
acromial
sternoclavicular joint
where the sternum meets the clavicle
joint features of the shoulder
head of humerus
glenoid cavity
glenoid labrum
joint capsule
joint cavity
shoulder - capsule and ligaments
glenohumeral - superior, medial, inferior and spiral, connect humerus to glenoid fossa
coracohumeral -
coracoacromial - from coracoid process to acromion
transverse humeral -
glenohumeral joint
ball and socket joint between glenoid fossa and humeral head
acromioclavicular joint
joint between acromion and clavicle
origin and insertion of SGHL
O - apex of glenoid fossa near root of coracoid process
I - upper portion of lesser tubercle of humerus
origin and insertion of IGHL
O - inferior edge of glenoid fossa
I - anatomical neck of humerus, just above lesser tuberosity
origin and insertion of MGHL
o - medial edge of glenoid fossa
i - lower part of lesser tubercle
origin and insertion of the SpGHL
o - infraglenoid tubercle
i - lesser tubercle with subscapularis tendon
what are the bands of the coracohumeral ligament
superior and inferior
