Kin chapter 9 Shoulder girdle Flashcards
Shoulder complex
scapula, clavicle, sternum, humerus, and rib cage, sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, glenohumeral joint, and scapulothoracic articulation
shoulder girdle
basically scapula and clavical
shoulder joint
scapula and humerus (glenohumeral joint)
superior angle
superior medial aspect, providing attachment for the levator scapula
inferior angle
moste inferior point and where vertebral and axillary border meet. This point determines scapular rotation.
vertebral border
between superior and inferior angles medially and attachment of the rhomboid and serratus anterior muscles
axillary border
the lateral side between glenoid fossa and inferior angle
spine of the scapula
projection on posterior surface, running from medial border laterally to acromion process. it provides attachment for the middle and lower trapezius muscles.
coracoid process
projection on anterior surface providing attachment for the pectoralis minor muscle
acromion process
broad flat area on superior lateral aspect, providing attachment for the upper trapezius muscle.
glenoid fossa
slightly concave surface that articulates with humerus on superior lateral side above the axillary border and below the acromion process.
clavicle
S shaped bone connects axial skeleton at the steroclavicular joint.
sternal end of clavicle
attaches medially to sternum
acomial end of clavicle
attaches laterally to scapula and provides attachment for the upper trap muscle
body of clavicle
ara between two ends
