Quiz 1 Flashcards
Overview of Muscle Function
- muscles that attach to scapula with other attachment superior to scapula can elevate scapula
- muscles that attach to scapula with other attachment inferior to scapula can depress the scapula
- muscles that attach to the scapula with the other attachment medial to the scapula can retract (adduct) the scapula
- muscles that attach to the scapula with the other attachment lateral to the scapula can protract (abduct) the scapula
- always talking about glenoid in reference to what’s moving of the scapula as a whole i.e. if the glenoid elevates, the scapula is elevating
Scapula Features
- triangle shaped flat bone
- medial, lateral, and superior borders
- inferior and superior angles
- 4 fossa: glenoid, supraspinous, infraspinous, subscapular
- 2 processes: acromion and coracoid
- suprascapular notch
Thoracolumbar Fascia
- Dense irregular CT (aponeurosis)
- 3 layers: posterior to spinous processes, middle to transverse processes, anterior to transverse processes
- come together to form lateral raphe
- broad, flat, heavy duty, tendinous structure
- all in one lateral and as they come medially they split into layers
- one of his favorite
Muscles Attach to TL Fascia
- latissimus dorsi
- internal oblique
- transverse abdominis
- all part of core
- important to know what muscles come off of here–>tighten these, tighten the TL fascia–>more support
Glenohumeral Joint
- most flexible joint in the body
- 180 degrees of motion
- no scapula–>120 degrees
- no GH joint–>60 degrees
Capsular Ligaments
- at bottom of GH joint
- allow extra space for when humeral head needs to move inferiorly like when the arm is raised completely
Relative Distances of Muscles to Joints
- if really close to the joint it’s a good stabilizer
- if it’s really far it’s a good mover
Subacromial Space
- there is a bursa in there and the tendons from the rotator cuff pass through
- tendons can get impinged in here and cause pain
Glenoid Labrum
- made of fibrocartilage
- makes glenoid slightly deeper
Innervated vs. Not Innervated Cartilage
- articular cartilage is not innervated
- muscles of disc and inner annular rings are not innervated but outer rings are
- fibrocartilage is, not very much, but it is innervated
Breast/Mammary Glands
- Cooper’s ligaments-suspensory ligament of breast that hold up breast; come off clavicle and pectoral region and go all the way into the breast; attach to the skin, stretch over time
- gland lobules for milk production
- surrounded by fatty tissue
- nipple
- areola-pigmented area around nipple, which can vary from person to person
- lactiferous sinus: widened opening of ducts
- lactiferous ducts: tube from lobules to nipple
Male Differences in the Breast
- have breast tissue that cannot produce milk directly behind nipple (can produce under very specific circumstances)
- small ducts
- do not develop lobules for milk production
- testosterone suppresses development
- can develop breast cancer (1%)
Which muscles attach to coracoid process? Which ligaments?
- coracobrachialis
- short head of biceps
- pectoralis minor
- coracoacromial ligament: roof over GH joint
- coracoclavicular ligaments: conoid ligament and trapezoid ligament
Sternoclavicular Joint
- proximal clavicle with manubrium
- divided by articular disc (very small, fibrocartilage, shock absorber)
- anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments; anterior taut with retraction and posterior taut with protraction
- interclavicular ligament: clavicle, manubrium, clavicle; becomes taut with depression
- costoclavicular ligament: inferior medial clavicle to first rib; taut with elevation
- elevation/depression, protraction/retraction
- taut=primary restriction
- ligaments that go to and from same bone do not restrict movement but instead provide support or stability
Apex of Axilla
- cervico-axillary Canal-passageway to neck
- first rib
- clavicle
- superior scapula
Base of Axilla
- concave skin and fascia
- arm to thoracic wall to about 4th rib
- bounded by anterior and posterior axillary folds
Borders of Axilla
- anterior: pectoralis major and pectoralis minor
- posterior: scapula, subscapularis, serratus anterior, teres major and latissimus dorsi
- medial wall: serratus anterior, ribs
- lateral wall: humerus, long head of triceps, coracobrachialis
Contents of Axilla
- brachial plexus at cord level and nerve branches
- axillary artery
- axillary vein
- lymph nodes
- arteries and nerves are within a sheet of CT surrounding them (veins can sometimes be inside or outside) which helps with movement-lubricated sheet keeps them protected and allows sliding movements
Cords and Nerves off Cords
- lateral cord: lateral pectoral nerve
- posterior cord: upper subscapular nerve, thoracodorsal nerve, lower subscapular nerve
- medial cord: medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm
Axillary Artery Branches
- begins at lateral border of first rib
- continuation of subclavian artery (becomes axillary when in armpit)
- passes posterior to pectoralis minor
- becomes brachial artery after inferior border of teres major
- divided into three parts
Parts of Axillary Artery: Part 1
- lateral border of first rib and medial pectoralis minor
- has one major branch: superior thoracic artery-1st and 2nd intercostal spaces and serratus anterior
Parts of Axillary Artery: Part 2
- posterior to pectoralis minor
- has 2 major branches
- thoracoacromial artery: pectoral, deltoid, acromial, clavicular branches
- lateral thoracic artery: lateral to pectoralis minor to breast (main blood supply to breast)
Parts of Axillary Artery: Part 3
- lateral border of pectoralis minor to inferior border of teres major
- 3 major branches
- subscapular artery: into circumflex scapula and thoracodorsal
- anterior circumflex humeral artery
- posterior circumflex humeral artery: anastomosis with each other around surgical neck
- proximal humeral fracture disturbs this blood supply so humeral head dies and needs to be replaced
Axillary Arteries
-run near surgical neck not anatomical neck
Axillary Vein
- extremely variable branches
- brachial vein: deep with brachial artery
- basilic vein: superficial from forearm and hand
- axillary vein becomes subclavian vein
- cephalic vein: superficial from lateral forearm and lateral arm and hand and runs between deltoid and pectoralis major into subclavian vein
- superficial veins drain into main venous system eventually
Axillary Lymph Nodes
- many in this area and are grouped
- then go to subclavian lymphatic trunk–>lymphatic duct–>subclavian veins
Shoulder Joint Complex
- for every 3 degrees of movement 2 degrees come from the GH and 1 from thorax (120 from GH and 60 from scapula moving on thorax)
- GH joint
- acromioclavicular joint
- sternoclavicular joint
- scapulothoracic joint (not a true synovial joint)
