42
Q

What is the most common pathology of the rotator cuff muscles

A

The suprasinatus gets inflamed, and the swelling makes it rub against the acromion and surrounding ligaments, leading to a tear

A

Origin: Lateral border of the scapula
Insertion: intertubercular groove

44
Q

A

Origin: Ribs 3,4,5
Insertion: Coracoid process

46
Q

What is the action of the pectoralis minor

A

protract,depress, and medial rotation of the scapular

47
Q

What innervates the pectoralis minor

A

The medial pectoral n

48
Q

What is the origin and insertion of the subclavius

A

Origin: first costal cartilage
Insertion: infer. groove of clavicle

49
Q

What is the action of the subclavius

A

to depress and stabilize the clavicle

50

A

it decends from C5,6,7 and passes under the clavicle to the serratus anterior

57

A

Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial

64
Q

What are the three types of fibrous joints

A

Syndesmoses, Sutures, and Gomphosis

65
Q

What are the 2 types of cartilaginous joints

A

Symphysis and synchondrosis

66
Q

What are the 5 key characteristics of a synovial joint

A
  1. articulating ends are covered in hyaline cartilage. 2. synovial space between the bones and within the joint capsule
  2. articular capsule consisting of CT that is continuous with the periosteum of the bones
  3. Synovial membrane on inner lining of joint capsule that creates a lubricating synovial fluid
  4. occasionally there is a fibrocartilage articulating disc or meniscus between the bones
67
Q

What type of joint is formed if the interzonal mesenchyme dies off

A

As it dies, it signals the formation of hyaline cartilage, and forms a synovial joint

68
Q

What type of joint it formed if mesenchyme turns into chondrocytes?

A

Chondrocytes are cartilage forming cells, so it become a cartilaginous joint

69
Q

What type of joint is formed if mesenchyme turns into fibroblasts

A

Fibroblasts make connective tissue, so a fibrous joint will form.
