Q

Which of the following structures serves to deepen the glenoid cavity?
Glenoid labrum
Coracohumeral ligament
Subacromial bursa

A

Glenoid Labrum

Explanation
The glenoid labrum is fibrocartilaginous tissue that is attached to the glenoid cavity of the scapula and it serves to deepen the cavity. The coracohumeral ligament is a ligament that runs between the coracoid process of the scapula and the anterior aspect of the greater tubercle and it strengthens the joint capsule superiorly. The subacromial bursa is positioned between the acromion process, coracoacromial ligament and the deltoid superiorly and the supraspinatus tendon and joint capsule inferiorly. It facilitates movement of the deltoid over the joint capsule and the supraspinatus tendon under the coracoacromial arch.

A

True

Explanation
This statement is true: the subclavian artery will give rise to the thyrocervical trunk which gives off the suprascapular artery (supplies supraspinatus and infraspinatus and contributes to scapular anastomoses) and the dorsal scapular artery which supplies the rhomboids, levator scapulae and the trapezius and it also contributes to the scapular anastomoses. The rest of the muscles are supplied by the branches of the axillary artery.

38
Q

-clavicular
-lateral thoracic
-subscapular
-pectoral
-acromial
-deltoid

A

Clavicular

Circumflex scapular

A

Posterior circumflex humeral

Explanation
The posterior circumflex humeral artery (and axillary nerve) travels around the neck of the humerus making it vulnerabe to damage secondary to a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus. If the artery is damaged, avascular necrosis of the humeral head may be a secondary complication of the fracture.
