lecture 5 Flashcards
Pectoral Girdle and Upper Extremity
where is the pectoral girdle and what does it attach too?
it attaches upper limb to axial skeleton and is composed of two bones
what comprises the pectoral girdle?
the clavicle and the scapula
what are the anatomical relationships of the clavicle?
1) it lies horizontally anterior and superior to the bony thorax
2) its superior to the first rib
3) it articulates medially with manubrium (sternoclavicular joint) and laterally with the acromial process of the scapula (acromioclavicular joint)
it lies horizontally anterior and superior to the?
bony thorax
what is the clavicle also superior too?
the first rib
what does the clavicle articulate medially and laterally with?
medially with the manubrium (*sternoclavicular joint) and laterally with the acromial process of the scapula *(acromioclavicular joint)
what are the features of the clavicle?
acromial extremity, sternal extremity, conoid tubercle and costal tuberosity
where is the conoid tubercle attachment site?
on the conoid ligament to coracoid process of the scapula
what is the costal tuberosity attachment site?
attachment for the rhomboid ligament which connects inferiorly to the 1st rib
what is the scapula?
triangular bone that forms the shoulder blade
what are the anatomical relationships of the scapula?
it lies in posterior superior thorax, between levels of 2nd and 7th ribs, medial border parallel to and approx 2-3 inches form vertebral column
what are the features of the scapula?
it has medial, lateral and superior borders, superior and inferior angles, scapular notch, spine, acromion, coracoid, glenoid cavity, fossae
where is the scapular notch?
located on the superior border and allows passage of supra scapular nerve
where is the spine?
the ridge running diagonally on the posterior surface
where is the acromion?
flattened lateral end of spine, the superior most point of the bony shoulder and it articulates with the clavicle
what is the acro?
top or summit
what attaches to the coracoid process?
site of muscle attachment
what coracoid (kokakodes) also translate too?
like a crow’s beak
what articulates with the glenoid cavity (fossa)?
it articulates with head of the humerus
what are the fossae associated with the scapula?
they serve as attachment points for shoulder muscles and each is decriptively named
name the fossae associated with the scapula?
infraspinatus fossa, supraspinatus fossa, sub scapular fossa
what is the humerus?
the long bone of the arm
what are the anatomical relationships of the humerus?
it articulates proximally with the glenoid fossa and distally with the radius and ulna
what does the humerus articulate proximally with?
the glenoid fossa
what does the humerus articulate distally with?
the radius and ulna
name the features of the proximal humerus?
greater tubercle, lesser tubercle, inter tubercular groove, anatomical neck, surgical neck
describe the greater tubercle?
lateral most bony landmark of shoulder
what is significant about the anatomical neck?
its the site of the epiphyseal plate
what is significant of the surgical neck?
common site of fracture
what are the features of the diaphysis?
deltoid tuberosity and the radial groove
what should be noted about the radial groove?
its where the radial nerve runs through
what are the features of the distal epiphysis?
medial and lateral epicondyles, capitulum, trochlea, coronoid, radial fossa, olecranon fossa
what do the medial and lateral epicondyles attache too?
they are the attachment sites for forearm muscles
what is the capitulum also known as?
small head
describe the capitulum and where it articulates?
rounded surface that articulates with head of radius
describe the trochle and its articulation?
spool shaped articulating with ulna
coronoid fossa is also known as the ____?
so krone for crown shaped
