Lecture 6.1 Flashcards
What structures make up the pectoral girdle?
Manubrium
Clavicle
Scapula
What structures is the shoulder complex between?
Pectoral Girdle
Humerus
What are the movements that the shoulder joint can do?
Flexion (180 degrees)/Extension (about 50 degrees) (saggital plane)
Adduction (movement to midline limited by the trunk) /Abduction (280 degrees) (coronal plane)
Medial + Lateral rotation
Circumduction (complete circular motion in upper limb this is a combination of all 3 movements).
What are the 3 bi-articular joints of the shoulder complex?
Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular
Glenohumeral
What are the physiological (functional joints of the shoulder)?
Subdeltoid (deep to the deltoid muscle)
Scapulothoracic (allows a larger range of motion for abduction)
What are the ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint?
Anterior + Posterior Sternoclavicular
Interclavicular (between the clavicles)
These are intrinsic ligaments of the sternoclavicular joint.
Costoclavicular (extrinsic ligament that stabilizes the joint)
What kind of joint is the sternoclavicular joint?
Saddle joint. Contains an articular disk which divides the joint into 2 separate articular cavities. this makes it a complex joint.
What are the movements that can take place at the Sternoclavicular joint and what is the purpose of these motions?
allows scapula to elevate and depress and allows the scapula to protract and retract when the clavicle is abducted and adducted.
This joint can also rotate.
What arteries supply the sternoclavicular joint?
Dislocation very rare at sternoclavicular joint. Blood supply is from the subclavian artery (internal thoracic and suprascapular arteries form anastomoses)
What nerve goes to the sternoclavicular joint?
nerve to subclavius is the nerve to the sternoclavicular joint.
How is an anterior sternoclavicular subluxation treated?
Anterior sternoclavicular subluxation can be fixed conservatively by immobilizing the joint.
What structures are endangered in a posterior sternoclavicular subluxation?
Subclavian and Carotid arteries.
What type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint?
A synovial plane joint between acromion process of scapula and the clavicle.
Does the acromioclavicular joint contain an articular disk?
Yes a partial articular disk to allow separate movements to take place.
What is the main intrinsic ligament of the acromioclavicular joint?
acromioclavicular ligament.
What is the most important ligament of the acromioclavicular joint?
Most important ligament of acromioclavicular joint is the 2 parted coracoclavicular ligament. This is an extrinsic ligament
These parts are:
Conoid
(narrow at its attachment to the coracoid process and wide at the acromion process)
Trapezoid (lateral to the conoid ligament)
What is the function of the parts of the coracoclavicular ligament?
The coracoclavicular ligaments work at right angles to each other. conoid ligament stops superior displacement of clavicle. Trapezoid ligament stops excessive rotation of the clavicle against the scapula.
What is a common injury to the acromioclavicular ligament?
Shoulder separation arises from contact sports most commonly.
What is the Acromioclavicular joint’s blood supply?
Suprascapular artery (from subclavian artery)
Thoracoacromial artery (second part of the axillary artery)
What is the acromioclavicular joint’s nerve supply?
Supraclavicular nerve
Lateral pectoral nerve
Axillary nerve
(lateral and posterior cord of the brachial plexus)
What are actions that occur at the acromioclavicular joint?
scapula elevation and depression
Scapula retraction and protraction
What is the attachment, function, and action of the serratus anterior muscle?
Serratus anterior attaches to the medial border of the scapula and is innervated by the long thoracic nerve. Action is protraction of the scapula.
