Q

What are the bones of the hand?

A
  • Carpals: bone on wrist – 8 total
  • Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform (sesamoid bone – bone that sits within a tendon)
  • Trapezium (for carpel-metacarpal saddle joint of the thumb), trapezoid, capitate (has a hook), hamate
  • Metacarpals (5 on each hand)
  • Phalanges: proximal, middle, distal
  • Except thumb– proximal and distal only
  • Carpals form an arch, carpal arch (facing anteriorly) which is covered by the flexor retinaculum tissue that will form the carpal tunnel from the arch

Q

What is the action of the trapezius?

A

originates from back of neck and inserts on shoulder to retract shoulders

23
Q

What is the action of the levator scapulae?

A

elevated scapular

24
Q

What is the action of the rhomboid major and minor?

A

retract scapular

25
Q

What is the action of the pectoralis major and minor?

A

originates from sternum and inserts on front of humerus to retract and medial rotate shoulder

26
Q

What is the action of the serratus anterior?

A

protraction

27
Q

What is the action of the deltoid?

A

arm abduction (beyond supraspinatus motion from first 15 degrees) of scapula

28
Q

What is the innervation of the infra and supraspinatus?

A
  • Both muscles are Innervated by the suprascapular nerve (runs in suprascapular foramen)
29
Q

What is the insertion of infra and supraspinatus muscles?

A

humerus

30
Q

What is the action of the infraspinatus?

A

arm lateral rotation

31
Q

What is the action of the supraspinatus?

A

initiation of arm abduction – first 15 degrees

32
Q

What is the action of the teres major?

A

Medial rotation, extension, adduction

33
Q

What is the innervation of the teres major?

A

Lower subscapular nerve

34
Q

What is the action of the teres minor?

A

lateral rotation of the arm, right next to infraspinatus

35
Q

What is the innervation of the teres minor?

A

Axillary nerve (same as deltoid)

36
Q

What is the innervation of the deltoid?

A

axillary nerve

37
Q

What is the action and innervation of the subscapularis?

A
  • Medial rotation of the arm when It shortens

* Innervated by subscapular nerves

38
Q

What muscles lies between the teres and pec majors?

A

latissimus dorsi

39
Q

What structures pass via the armpit?

A
  • Subclavian artery, axillary artery, Subclavian vein, axillary vein
  • Brachial plexus – nerve supply from the cervical spinal cord and goes into opening of axillar and innervate all the muscles in the upper limb
  • Lymphatics and lymph nodes
  • Axillary tail of breast
  • Upper portions of some arm muscles: biceps and coracobrachialis
40
Q

What makes up the anterior wall of the axilla?

A
  • Clavipectoral fascia (subclavius and pectoralis minor)

* Pectoralis major

41
Q

What is the path of the brachial artery?

A
  • As the axillary artery passes the border of teres major, it becomes the brachial artery
  • Travels in the anterior compartment
  • Near the elbow it divides into the radial (lateral) and ulnar arteries (medial side)
  • Brachial artery also gives a major branch, profundal brachii which supplies the posterior arm (runs with radial nerve which supplies muscles of the back of the arm)
42
Q

What is the artery used for bp?

A

brachial

43
Q

What are the divisions of the brachial plexus?

A
  • Roots – anterior rami; Roots: C5-T1
  • Trunks  superior, middle, inferior
  • Pass from neck to axilla
  • Divisions  anterior and posterior
  • Posterior division and cord generally supply the posterior compartments
  • Anterior divisions and hence, medial and lateral cords are associated with anterior compartments
44
Q

What artery travels between the posterior and anterior brachial plexus?

A

axillary

45
Q

What does the lateral cord innervate?

A

pectorals major

46
Q

What does the medial cord innervate?

A

pec major and minor

47
Q

What does the posterior cord innervate?

A
  • Thoracodorsal innervates latissimus dorsi
  • Superior and inferior subscapular
  • Axillary
  • Radial
48
Q

What are the parts of the lateral cord?

A
  • Lateral pectoral
  • Musculocutaneous
  • Median
49
Q

What are the parts of the medial cord?

A
  • Median
  • Medial pectoral
  • Medial cutaneous nerves of the arm and forearm
  • Ulnar
50
Q

What are the nerves of the roots and what do they innervate?

A
  • Dorsal Scapular innervates rhomboids

* Long Thoracic innervates serratus anterior

51
Q

What are the nerves of the trunk and what do they innervate?

A

innervated supra and infraspinatus muscles (lateral)

52
Q

what is the axillary vein?

A

accompanies the axillary artery and becomes subclavian vein after passing rib 1

53
Q

what is the cephalic vein?

A

drains posterior lateral side of UE and passes in the deltopectoral groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscle before it enters the axillary vein

54
Q

what is the small brachial vein?

A

accompany brachial artery, but superficial structures are drained by cephalic (lateral) and basilic (medial) veins
