MSK 5 - Upper Limb Flashcards
what are the 4 regions of the upper limb
shoulder, arm, forearm, hand
whats another name for the arm
brachium
whats another name for the forearm
antebrachium
what is the general function of the upper limb
ability to grasp and conduct fine motor skils
name the terminal branches of the brachial plexus
musculocutaneous n, axillary n, radial n, median n, ulnar n, long thoracic n
what is the pectoral girdle
scapula, clavicle, sternum
transition between axial and appendicular skeleton
allows for free movement of the upper limb
what are the four important landmarks of the scapula
coracoid process: shrek horn on anterior surface
glenoid cavity: depression on superior lateral surface
spine: ridge on posterior surface
acromion: point of shoulder on lateral posterior surface
what is the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus
depression between the two tubercle of the proximal humerus
where are the greater and less tubercle of the humerus located
proximally, greater = lateral, lesser = anterior
what is the difference between the anatomical and surgical neck of the humerus
anatomical = boundary of head
surgical = at metaphysis
what are the three joints of the pectoral girdle
glemohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular
what type of joint is the glemohumeral
ball and socket, synovial
what type of joint is the acromioclavicular
plane, synovial
what type of joint is the sternoclavicular
saddle, synovial
what articulates at the glenohumeral joint
head of humerus, glenoid cavity of scapula
what articulates at the sternoclavicular joint
sternal end of clavicle, clavicular notches of manubrium
what articulates at the acromioclavicular joint
acromion of scapula, acromial end of clavicle
what are the possible movement of the scapula / pectoral girdle
elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, upward rotation, downward rotation
what is the glenoid labrum
fribrocartilage, deepend the glenoid cavity slightly
what is the purpose of the rotator cuff mm
main source of stability of the glenohumeral joint, encircle the joint all except inferiorly
which joint is dislocated in shoulder dislocation
glenohumeral
which joint is dislocated in shoulder separation
acromioclavicular
attachments of the anterior and posterior axio-appendicular muscles
axial skeleton
appendicular skeleton
innervation of the anterior and posterior axio-appendicular muscles
branches of bracial plexus
