Lab Flashcards
Shoulder joint
Formed with articulation of humerus and scapula
Muscles in the shoulder joint
1) Deltoid muscle
2) Pectoralis major muscle
3) Latissimus dorsi muscle
Shoulder joint movements
Abduction: sideward elevation
Adduction: the opposite of abduction
Flexion: forward elevation of the arm (hands up)
Extension: back to anatomical position
Inward rotation: humerus moves towards your body
Outward rotation: the opposite
Horizontal flexion: from side horizontal position to front horizontal position
Horizontal extension: return to side horizontal position
Shoulder girdle
Scapula and clavicle
Protraction
hunch back
retraction
arch back
elevation
elevate shoulders
depression
Bring shoulders down
upward rotation
raise hands
downward rotation
bring hands back down
Muscles in the shoulder girdle
1) trapezius muscle (upward rotation, elevation, retraction, depression)
2) rhomboid muscle (retraction and downward rotation)
3) Levator scapulae muscle (elevation)
4) Serratus anterior muscle (protraction of scapula, upward rotation of scapula)
Deltoid Muscles has three parts which are…
- Anterior
- Medial
- Posterior
What is the anterior deltoid is responsible for?
Flexion and horizontal flexion
What is the middle portion of the deltoid responsible for?
abduction and horizontal extension
What is the posterior portion of the deltoid responsible for?
horizontal extension assists with extension
