Pectoral region & Shoulder Flashcards
Sternoclavicular joint(articular components and joint type)
Sternal ends of the clavicle and manubrium of sternum
Joint type: Modifies saddle type synovial joint
Sternoclavicular joint (associated structures and movement)
Fibrocartilage disc
Movement:elevation/depression
protraction/retraction
Acromioclavicular joint (articular components and joint type)
Acromial end of the clavicle and acromion process of scapula
Joint type: Plane type synovial joint
Acromioclavicular joint (associated structures and movement)
Fibrocartilage disc
Movement: gliding between clavicle
Glenohumeral joint (articular components and joint type)
Humeral head and glenoid fossa
Joint type: ball and socket synovial
Glenohumeral joint(movement and features)
Felxion/extension
abduction/adduction
internal and external rotation
Glenoid fossa is 1/3 the size of the humeral head
Both non-contractile and contractile structures enhance stability
what are the non-contractile structures of the glenohumeral joint?
- coracoacromial ligament
- glenohumeral ligaments
- glenoid labrum
what are the contractile structures of the glenohumeral joint?
muscles of the rotator cuff
What is the coracoacromial arch formed by?
smooth inferior aspect of the acromion and the coracoid processof the scapula with the corcoacromial ligament
What is the function of the coracoacromial arch/ligament?
To prevent superior humeral displacement from the glenoid cavity
Glenoid labrum
Fibrocartilaginous ring
attaches to the margins of the glenoid fossa
deepens the cavity
scapulothoracic joint(definition)
The physiological joint between the scapula and the thoracic wall
what movements happen at the scapulothoracic joint?
Elevation/depression
rotation, protraction/retraction
What happens in shoulder abduction that allows it to work properly?
During full abduction of the arm we have to laterally rotate our humerus to move the greater tuberosity out of the way
scapulohumeral rhythum
The glenohumeral joint doesn’t account for all the movement of the humerus.
So from 0-30 degrees it is solely the glenohumeral joint
from 30-180 the scapula moves to givei ti more motion at a 2:1 Glenohumeral/scapulothoracic movement
Trapezius muscle(attachments)
Superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, spinous process of C7-T12
-scapula spine, acromion, lateral 1/3 clavicle
Trapezius muscle(action)
Upper: elevates and upwardly rotates scapula
middle: adducts scapula
lower: depresses and upwardly rotates scapula
Trapezius muscle(innervation)
CN XI, C3, C4
latissimus dorsi muscle(attachments)
spinous process T7-T12, iliac crest, ribs 9-12
latissimus dorsi muscle (action)
Shoulder extension, adduction and internal rotation
latissimus dorsi(innervation)
Thoracodorsal nerve
Levator scapulae muscle(attachments)
transverse process of C1-C4
superior border of scapula
