Outline 6: Shoulder Flashcards
Blood supply of shoulder
Branches of subclavian and axillary arteries
Shoulder muscles that are “direct”, trunk to humerus
- Pec major
2. Latissimus dorsi
Extrinsic shoulder muscles move (X) with respect to (Y)
X = shoulder girdle Y = axial skeleton
The anterior extrinsic shoulder muscles are:
- Pec minor
2. Subclavius
The posterior extrinsic shoulder muscles are:
- Trapezius
- Locator scapulae
- Rhomboids
Intrinsic shoulder muscles move (X) relative to (Y)
X = free limb Y = shoulder girdle
Intrinsic shoulder muscles include:
- Rotator cuff (SITS)
- Teres major
- Deltoid
Subclavius is an example of a (spurt/shunt) muscle
Shunt
Serratus anterior is which type of shoulder muscle?
Extrinsic
Shoulder abduction is initiated by:
Supraspinatus
Source of shoulder nerve innervation is (anterior/posterior) rami of spinal nerves (X) to (Y). This is formally termed (Z)
Anterior
X= C5 Y = T1 Z = Brachial plexus
How many shoulder joints? List them. Which isn’t REALLY a joint, and why?
4 shoulder joints:
Scapulothoracic, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, glenohumeral
Scapulothoracic not really joint: no articulating surface
Glenohumeral joint connects:
Humerus to scapula
Sternoclavicular joint connects:
Clavicle to sternum
Acromioclavicular joint connects:
Scapula to clavicle
Scapulothoracic joint connects:
Scapula to rib cage
Muscles involved in scapula elevation:
- Levator scapulae
2. Upper fibers of trapezius
Muscles involved in scapula depression:
- Lower fibers of trapezius
2. Pec minor
Muscles involved in retraction of scapula:
- Rhomboids
2. Middle fibers of trapezius
Muscles involved in protraction of scapula
- Pec minor
2. Serratus anterior
Muscles involved in upward/downward rotation of scapula
Upward: trapezius (upper and lower fibers), serratus anterior
Downward: pec minor, levator scapulae, rhomboids
