Pectoral Girdle Flashcards
A of deltoid m.
abducts humerus, flexes, extends, and rotates humerus
N of deltoid m.
axillary n. (C5,C6) and posterior circumflex humeral vessels
A of teres major m.
medially rotates and extends humerus
can also contribute to adduction of humerus
N of teres major
lower (inferior) subscapular n. (C5-C7) and subscapular vessels
A of supraspinatus m.
abducts the humerus (1st 15 degrees)
assists deltoid up to 110 degrees
N of supraspinatus m.
suprascapular n. (C5, C6) and vessels; and dorsal scapular vessels
A of infraspinatus
laterally rotates the humerus
N of infraspinatus
suprascapular n. (C5, C6) and vessels; and subscapular vessels
A of teres minor m.
lateral rotation of humerus
N of teres minor
axillary n. (C5, C6) and suprascapular and subscapular vessels
A of subscapularis m.
medial rotation of humerus
N of subscapularis
upper and lower subscapular nn. and subscapular vessels
membranous sac containing lubricating synovial fluid
subacromial (subdeltoid) bursa
subacromial bursa inferior to ____ and ____, but superior to _____
acromion; deltoid; supraspinatus m.
subacromial (subdeltoid) bursa can become continuous with joint capsule due to attrition of _____
supraspinatus tendon
spaces of the shoulder region
quadrangular space
triangular space
triangular interval
quadrangular space holds:
axillary n. and posterior circumflex humeral vessels
triangular space holds:
circumflex scapular vessels
triangular interval holds:
radial n. and profunda brachii a. (deep brachial a.)
borders of quadrangular space
superior = teres minor m. inferior = teres major m. medial = long head of triceps brachii m. lateral = surgical neck of the humerus
borders of the triangular space
superior = teres minor m. inferior = teres major m. lateral = long head of triceps brachii m.
borders of triangular interval
superior = teres major m. medial = long head of triceps brachii m. lateral = lateral head of triceps brachii m.
the radial n. and deep brachial a. run in the ____ or ____ groove of the humerus
radial; spinal
