Pectoral And Shoulder Regions Flashcards
Arm
Part between shoulder and elbow containing the humerus and muscles in the region
Forearm
Between elbow and wrist containing ulna, radius, and muscle in region
Humerus
. Head . Anatomical & surgical necks . Greater and lesser tubercles . Intertubercular (bicipital) groove or sulcus—with lateral and medial lips . Shaft . Deltoid tuberosity
Brachial plexus
. Nerve network formed by ventral rami do spinal nerves C5-8 and T1
. Runs through axilla and will not be exposed by dissection a the time
Teres major m. OIA
O: post. side of the scapula
near inf. angle
I: med. lip of
intertubercular groove, near the insertion
of latissimus dorsi (anterior, superior part
of the humeral shaft)
A: extension, adduction, and med. rotation of humerus (same as lat)
Teres major m. N and B
N: lower subscapular n.
B: subscapular artery
Deltoid m. OIA
O: lateral 1/3 of clavicle, acromion, and spine of scapula; the same as the insertion of trapezius
I: deltoid tuberosity of humerus
A: ant. Part flexes and medially rotates, Lat. (acromial) part abducts, post. Part (scapular spine) extends and lat. rotates
Deltoid N and B
N: axillary nerve
B: post. Circumflex humeral artery
Axillary nerve
Also supplies the skin over the deltoid m.
. Courses w/ post. circumflex humeral artery around post. side of surgical neck of humerus deep to deltoid.
Quadrangular space
. Bordered by teres minor m., teres major m., long head of triceps brachii m., and surgical neck of humerus
. Axillary nerve and post. Circumflex humeral artery located here
. Vulnerable w/ humerus dislocation
Synovial bursa
.btw greater tubercle of humerus and deltoid and acromion
. Flat sac of synovial membrane enclosing synovial fluid
. Helps lubricate motion
. Can have 2 separate bursar or 1 large bursa
Rotator cuff muscles
. “Cuff” glenohumoral joint adhering to fibrous capsule helping to stabilize it
. Subscapularis m., supraspinatus m., infraspinatus m., teres minor m.
Subscapularis m. OIA
O: subscapular fossa
I: lesser tubercle of the humerus
A: med. rotates humerus
Subscapularis m. N and B
N: upper and lower subscapular nn.
B: subscapular a.
Supraspinatus OIA
O: supraspinous fossa
I: sup. part of the greater tubercle of the humerus
A. Abducts humerus
Supraspinatus m. N and B
N: suprascapular n., which courses through the suprascapular notch and under the transverse scapular ligament
B: suprascapular a., which usually courses over the transverse scapular
ligament (not through the suprascapular notch)
Infraspinatus m. OIA
O: infraspinous fossa
I: posterior side of the greater tubercle of the humerus
A: lat. rotates humerus
Infraspinatus N and B
N: suprascapular n., which reaches this muscle by passing between the acromion and neck of the scapula
B: circumflex scapular a.
Teres minor OIA
O: posterior side of the scapula, near its lateral border,
lateral to the origin of teres major
I: Posterior side of the greater tubercle of the humerus,
A: lat. rotates humerus
Teres minor N and B
N: axillary n.
B: circumflex scapular a.
Pectoralis major OIA
O: Clavicular head (med. 1/3 clavicle), Sternocostal head (sternum and costal cartilages)
I: Lateral lip of the intertubercular groove (ant, sup. part of humeral shaft)
A: both heads adduction and med. rotates humerus, Clavicular head flexes humerus, sternocostal head flexes an extended humerus, but extends flexed humerus, depresses and protracts shoulder girdle by pulling on humerus
Pectoralis major Na nd B
N: lat. and med. pectoral nn.
B: branches of internal thoracic, lat. thoracic, and thoraco-acromial arteries
Pectoralis minor OIA
O: ribs 3, 4, 5 near the costochondral junctions
I: coracoid process of the scapula
A: depresses and protracts should girdles, helps w/ inf. Rotation of scapula
