Pectoral Girdle and Appendages Flashcards
pectoral girdle
- support the arm and links it to the axial skeleton
1. ) clavicle
2. ) scapula
sternal end clavicle
-forms sternoclaviculear joint with clavicle notch on sternum
acrominal end clavicle
-forms acrominoclavicular joint
scapula
-over ribs 2-7
glenoid fossa/cavity
- scapula
- attachment to head of humerus
- forms glenohumeral joint
coracoid process
- scapula
- attachment point for arm muscles
acromion process
- scapula
- articulates with clavicle
- only bridge from appendicular to axial skeleton
supraspinous fossa
- scapula
- attachment site for muscles
infraspinous fossa
- scapula
- attachment site for muscles
subscapular fossa
- scapula
- attachment site for muscles
upper limbs
- 30 bones/limb
- divided into 4 segments
1. ) humerus
2. ) radius
3. ) ulna
4. ) carpals
humerus head
-articulates with glenoid cavity of scapula
greater tubercle
- humerus
- attachment site for muscles
lesser tubercle
- humerus
- attachment site for muscles
intertubercular sulcus
- humerus
- houses tendon for bicep
surgical neck
- humerus
- common fracture site
deltoid tuberosity
- humerus
- insertion point for deltoid muscle of shoulder
trochlea
- humerus
- medial condyle
- articulates with ulna
capitulum
- humerus
- lateral condyle
- articulates with radius
medial epicondyle
- humerus
- protects ulnar nerve, which runs along back of elbow
- “funny bone”- bumping stimulates ulnar nerve
olecranon fossa
- humerus
- accommodates olecranon process on ulna when arm EXTENDED
coronoid fossa
-accommodates coronoid process of ulna when forearm is FLEXED
radius ID
-goes to thumb
radius head
- articulates with spins on capitulum of humerus
- articulates with spins on radial notch of ulna
radial tuberosity
-insertion point for biceps muscle
ulnar notch
- radius
- articulates with end of ulna
styloid process radius
-can be palpated proximal to thumb
ulna ID
- has a “u”
- goes to pinky
trochlear notch
- ulna
- articulation (wraps around) w/ trochlea of humerus
olecranon
-ulna
-posterior side of trochlear notch
bony pt elbow
styloid process ulna
-can palpate on lateral side of wrist
carpals (8)
- bones that allow wrist movements
1. ) scaphoid
2. ) lunate
3. ) triquetrum
4. ) pisiform (sesamoid bone)
5. ) trapezium
6. ) trapezoid
7. ) capitate
8. ) hamate
phalanges
- bones of finger
- singular “phalanx”
pollux
- thumb
- 2 phalanges, as opposed to 3 like other digits
proximal phalange
-btw metacarpal and int. phalanx
intermediate phalanx
-btw proximal and distal
distal phalanx
-top of digits
pectoralis minor origin
-ribs 3-5
pectoralis minor insertion
-coracoid process of scapula
serratus anterior origin
- nearly all ribs
- then wraps laterally around chest, passes across back and between scapula and ribs
serratus anterior insertion
-on medial (vertebral) border of scapula
serratus anterior contraction
-scapula glides laterally and slightly forward around ribs
serratus anterior function
- protracts scapula
- prime mover in all forward-reaching and pushing actions
- aids in elevating apex of shoulder
- fixes shoulder during abduction of arm
trapezius function
- stabilizes scapula and shoulder during arm movements
- elevates/depresses apex of shoulder
- acts w/ other muscles to rotate and retract scapula
