MSK Flashcards
What is the innervation of pec major?
The lateral and medial pectoral nerves.
Clavicle head - C5,6
Sterno-costal head - C7,8 T1
What is the action of pec major?
Adduction and medial rotation of humerus. Draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly.
Clavicular head flexes humerus and Sterno-costal head extends it from the flexed position
Innervation of pec minor?
Medial pectoral nerve C8 T1
Action of pec minor
Draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly against thoracic wall and stabilises it.
Innervation of subclavius?
Nerve to subclavius C5,6
Action of subclavius?
Anchors and depresses clavicle.
Innervation of serratus anterior?
Long thoracic nerve C5,6,7
Action of serratus anterior?
Protract (abduct) scapula and hold it again the thoracic wall. Rotate scapula medially.
What are the function of the clavicle?
Connects limb to trunk whilst allowing a range of movements of limb.
Shock absorber from limb/shoulder.
Protects neuromascular bundle supplying upper limb.
What is the proximal joint of the clavicle?
Manubrium of sternum with the sternal facet at sternoclavicular joint (SC)
What is the difference between the superior and inferior surfaces of the clavicle?
Superior surface is smooth - subcutaneous tissues
Inferior surface is rough because strong ligaments bind to it?
What attaches to the following places of the clavicle?
Inferiorly, lateral - medial:
Trapezoid line
Conoid tubercule
Subclavian groove
Impression for costoclavicular ligament
Trapezoid line - trapezoid ligament
Conoid tubercule - Conoid ligament
Subclavian groove - subclavius muscle
Impression for costoclavicular ligament
Where is the clavicle most likely to break?
Between Middle third and lateral third
Where do the scapula and clavicle join?
Acromioclavicular joint
Where is the deltoid tubercule?
Spine of scapula.
Describe the locations of the coronoid fossa and radial fossa of the humerus
Both distal end, anterior. Coronoid is more medial next to trochlea.
Radial fossa is more lateral and next to the capitulum.
What is the condyle of the humerus?
Radial fossa coronoid fossa, capitulum, trochlea
What is the purpose of the olecranon fossa of the humerus?
Allows space for the olecranon of ulna.
What are the types of bone?
Long short Irregular - may have sinuses (pneumatic) and accessories Sesmoid e.g. Patella Flat
What is a apophysis?
A normal development outgrowth of bone.
What is a facet?
A flattened surface for joint/muscle attachment
Explain the types of joints fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial
Fibrous: held together by fibrous connective tissue
Cartilaginous: held by hyaline cartilage e.g. Pubic symphysis
Synovial: bones with articular cartilage meet within a joint capsule with synovial lining which contains synovial fluid.
Explain the types of joints, diarthrosis, synarthrosis and Amphiarthrosis. (Functional classification)
Diarthrosis: freely movable (always synovial)
Amphiarthrosis - slight mobility (mostly cartilaginous)
Synarthrosis - little of no mobility (mostly fibrous)
Briefly explain the types of synovial joints.
Hinge - only flexion and extension
Saddle - concave and concave joint surfaces e.g. 1st MCPJ
Plane - permits some sliding e.g. Acromioclavicular joint
Pivot- rotation, bone into a bony ligamentous socket e.g. Proximal radio-ulnar joint.
Condyloid - flexion, extension Adduction, abduction and circumduction e.g. MCPJ
Ball and socket e.g. Shoulder and hips
