MSK-Upper Limb Flashcards
anterior wall of the axilla
pectorals major and minor
posterior wall of the axilla
subscapularis, trees major and latissimus dorsi
medial wall of the axilla
thoracic wall, serrates anterior
Lateral wall of the axilla
humerus, coracobrachialis, short head of biceps
where does the axillary artery become the brachial
lower border of the teres minor
which artery runs deeper- radial or ulna?
ulna
describe the superficial venous system in the arm
you have the basilic cephalic vein. Basillic becomes the axillary and the cephalic drains into the axillary. Also a shunt that shunts blood from the cephalic to the basilic.
what type of joint is the sternoclavicular. joint
saddle synovial joint
what type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint
synovial plane joint
role of the coracoacromial ligament
presents superior displacement of the humeral head
role of the glenohumeral ligament
strengthen the anterior aspect of the joint capsule
what are the 2 main bursa found around the shoulder
subacromial bursa
sbuscapular bursa
role of bursa in the shoudler
help prevent wear and tear on tendons
reduce friction
what muscles elevate the scapula
trapezius and levator scapulae
what muscles depress the scapula
trapezius
what muscles are involved in protraction of the scapula
serratus anterior, pectoralis major and minor
what muscles are involved in retraction of the scapula
middle fibres of trapezius
rhomboids
what muscles are involved in lateral rotation fo the scapula
trapezius
what muscles are involved in medial rotation of the scapula
levator scapula, rhomboid, pectoralis minor
actions of the trapezius
elevation and depression of the scapula, retraction and lateral rotation of the scapula.
flexion and extension of the spine
innervation of the trapezius
accessory nerve
latissimus dorsi actions
adducts, medially rotates and extends the arm
Actions of the levator scapulae
elevates the scapula
where do we find the rhomboids
attached to the medial border of the scapula and the spine
action of the rhomboids
retract the scapula
where does the pectoralis major attatch
lateral lip of the bicipital groove
actions of the pectoralis major
adduct the shoulder
protract the scapula
internally rotate the arm
action of the pectoralis minor
stabilises the scapular during limb movements by keeping it pulled up against the thoracic cage.
protraction of the scapula
actions of the serratus anterior
protraction of scapula
stabilises the pectoral girdle by holding the scapula closer to the ribs
main action of the deltoid
abduction
what are the actions of the various fibres of the deltoid
lateral- abduction
posterior- extension and lateral rotation
anterior- flexion and medially rotate
action of the Supraspinatus
abduction
stabiliser
